Punctual pick-up and long but comfortable drive with a Mercedes van to the monasteries. Was able to visit 4 monasteries on site (practically never all of them are open at the same time) and see all the monasteries from the outside. A decent ascent in a monastery, otherwise everything is relatively easy with normal fitness (done in autumn when it's not so hot). Guide also told interesting things. Before the return trip we ate delicious Greek together in a traditional village restaurant.

Absolutely brilliant day with a great driver and guide. It’s a long drive but worth it to see these amazing monasteries which is something completely different. We visited the most peaceful monastery first which was a reasonably strenuous climb up but well worth the effort. We then visited a more populated one which was nonetheless interesting and the artwork fascinating (still a reasonable climb!). The last monastery..st Stephens did not need any climb, and was by far the most populated and visited. The museum there was very interesting and the artwork in the church intricate and could have spent an extra hour or so here it was so interesting.

We really enjoyed the whole experience. Meteora was like nothing we have ever seen before. Peter, our driver/guide was very attentive and helpfull. The knowledge he shared with us made it all the more special. I am 85 years old and it was a long day, 14 hrs! Peter's patience and caring attitude was much appreciated as was his driving skills.
