    The place was amazing and the guide was very friendly and very professional.what I didn't like was the food.you sell it as a typical lunch and it is a kind of selfservice that gives you a choice of three dishes and a small plate with salad without dessert.I advise you to make the trip to Meteora but without the option of food.

    We arrived 4 minutes late to the stop because we had an issue with the metro. We missed the bus, and although it was stated everywhere that we wouldn’t be able to recover it, we also couldn’t get in touch with anyone from technical support about our problem. They charged us an additional €50 per person to go the next day, and I felt there was a lack of attention that we did receive in other tours; it seemed like they only cared about the money. As for the tour itself, the driver was quite rude, and we even left before the scheduled time, which explains what happened the previous day. Once there, we had a guide who barely spoke. He mostly made jokes throughout the trip and only told us the bare minimum, in my opinion. He would sit down often, and although he was friendly and asked if we were satisfied and if we had any questions, he didn’t really provide more information, so we didn’t know what to ask. In my opinion, he left a lot to be desired.

    Information about the places we visited were sufficient without having info overload. Pacing of each places were just right. Very attentive guide and driver.
