Easy pick up and saw so much. - Personable and knowledgeable guide. Friendly and competent driver. A small group meant the vehicle can get close to each Monastry/Nunnery.

Absolutely stunning - Clement was a guide for the 4.5 hour tour. He was very knowledgeable and informative and extremely enthusiastic. He and our driver Christoph were very friendly. We visited 3 different monasteries which are beautiful but if you are not religious which we aren't, they do become a little samey and the gift shops in them make it a little tacky. That said Meteora is absolutely stunning and no pictures do it justice. The fact the monks built these monasteries on top of them is unbelievable. We loved our day and don't let the 4.5hr journey put you off. It's 2 2 hour lots with a half hour stop in between so we found it went quite quick. A truly amazing place that has to be seen to appreciate.

Great day tour to Meteora! - Our tour to Meteora was truly amazing. Highly recommend it. Photos cannot capture the true unique beauty of the rock formations and monasteries. Tour operator had everything organized and running like clockwork. Recommend taking the morning tour before the crowds and heat. Lots of steps so be prepared for walking! Bring water.

private tour of Meteora with guide IN FRENCH - Private tour IN FRENCH lasting 5 hours, of the Meteora site with 3 visits to monasteries (4 possible depending on the time available). Stops at multiple points of view, explanations and supporting photos. The visit to the monasteries is done alone (3 euros per person to pay each time, be careful, the women must be in a long skirt and covered shoulders. If you do not have something to cover yourself, this will be lent to you at the entrance! There are many steps to climb but it is worth the effort! A site of great beauty! Thank you to Maria and her driver for their availability, kindness, complete explanations and concern for our well-being!
