No geral foi uma experiência fantástica , de explorar os picos e vales de meteora, a nossa guia Maria foi extremamente informativa e muito acessível respondendo a todas as perguntas que pudéssemos ter. o único ponto negativo, foi o extremo desconforto no autocarro de Atenas até kalabaka, (o mesmo no retorno) que era extremamente apertado, o que se nota muito numa viagem de 4.30 horas, e tinha um WiFi muito pouco constante. fora isso, uma experiência espetacular.

We never felt rushed, we were given plenty of time to see all of our monasteries that we stopped at. We also stopped at other locations to take pictures of scenic spots. Most of all, it was great that our guide allowed enough time for us to watch the sunset. That was tremendous! Everything was well structured and explained well as to when we eat, when we were to be back on the bus, which had to be a difficult thing, because it ended up being a very long day. We loved this tour!

The excursion was very nice and the guide was very kind and friendly. Yes, a total of almost 10 hours by bus, it becomes very hard and eternal, on the other hand the food is a bit... leaves a lot to be desired, better to carry something in the backpack. I recommend it but bring extra food and batteries.
