What people are saying about Athens
Overall rating
We loved our trip to Meteora! It was a seamless adventure. We were able to find the bus no problem. The drive was safe and the Wi-Fi worked. When we arrived, we did a private tour with Harry. I loved the tour. Harry is a local and knows everything about the area. He speaks with enthusiasm and knowledge. I would recommend Harry and this company to anyone.
Overall the trip was great. I do wish more time could have been spent at each site. Our guide was great, but really was struggling to lead the English tour, she was struggling with many words and English phrases. She was very knowledgeable and very organized though.
Excellent punctuality and the choice to arrive at Syntagma on the way back. We would have liked some more information about the temple from the guide during the trip
Maria our guide was very good. Kept us on time for each monastery visit
The guide Vivian was really perfect, nice storyteller and kind girl.
