Overall rating
Comfortable ride to and from Meteora. It was foggy that day, but our guide Riki made sure we could still take some beautiful pictures. She also ensured we had enough time to explore both monasteries. We could tell she knew the place by heart, as she also showed us spots where scenes from popular movies like Game of Thrones and James Bond were filmed. In short, it was a great experience, certainly worth the price!
Meteora is a place of unbelievable beauty! Truly unique, the trip from Athens is really worth it! Our guide Riki was enthusiastic and gave the tour a great vibe. Very satisfied with the tour- i recommend it
Visiting Mycenae on a clear day was a highlight. Also loved the opportunity to have lunch in Nafplio which is a beautiful town. Tour organisation, guide and transport were all excellent.
