An amusing and knowledgable courier who guided us smoothly throught the major sights. The order of the visits was sensible, with the most strenuous first. Each of the abbeys was special in its own way: whether it was the remarkable frescoes of the Great Meteora, the more intimate Varlaam abbey or the lovely formal gardens of St. Stephens. Varlaam paid somewhat more attention to the visitor experience with, for instance, appropriate music playing in the antechurch and clear walkways to help visitors move around smoothly. Our courier was careful to make sure that the group were briefed on eating and drinking needs. The supply of water bottles were very welcome.

Sarantis went well beyond expectations. He asked us about our preferences and gave us different options to choose from. The tour was customised to our wants and needs. He brought us to places in Greece and showed us a different side of Greece. And oh! Lunch was absolutely beautiful. Go to the restaurant up the mountain! We made that choice and it was the best choice ever. He even stayed with us well beyond the hours required just to send us to the airport at an appropriate time (not too early). I have so much more to say but not many characters left so I'm going to leave this review with these words: do it!

Alltogether I enjoyed the trip, the drive was long, but our guide was giving us information on the Mount Olympus we passed, How its related to the God Zeus and How Alexander the great assembled his armies. I enjoyed the trip and the Beauty to see in Greece. A really good opportunity to Escape The City Life and see something breathtaking in nature. We went to 2 Monasteries as promised. And in between we went to a really nice Spot to take pictures. It was basically the highland of taking pictures. The guys should make sure to wear pants for the monasteries, based on their religious beliefs.

Alice and Nathan were absolutely great. They were excellent instructors and patient with everyone. They made this the best experience of our whole vacation for the boys and my wife. They took hundreds of pictures (included in price- wow). We can't say enough how wonderful they made this experience for everyone. They connected before the trip to make sure we knew where to go and what to bring. They spoke perfect English. The price was very reasonable for everything we did. Seriously - worth every penny.

Meteora is amazing place to visit, but it is best to rent a car to go there. This tour is ok, but the guides are not telling much and not very motivated. We visited only 2 monasteries and lunch was very late! They don’t tell the schedule in advance, which did not help to preare best for the trip. They only make one stop on the way and there is no toilet in the bus. The lunch was very basic and small portion, so take snacks.
