Everything went smooth :) The agent even offered an alternate root of transportation as the trains were not working in order to not miss our tour which took us approximately the same time and we could see the scenery on our way! Everything went well and as expected with the tour leader named Clement was very friendly and explained all the details and even the person who greeted us at the bus station and the taxi and bus driver. Definitely recommended because it’s breathtaking :) Thank you :)

Travelled by rail from Thessaloniki instead of the bus as we got to visit three and see all six monasteries. The guide and driver from Thrones Tours were excellent, fun a d full of great snippets of information. Can be a little bit stressful changing trains as ours was running late but the second train/ changeover will wait for the first train if late. Highly enjoyable but long day. Take plenty of reading material for the train journeys.
