Our guide, Nicolás, was very nice and friendly, and he told you the historical and cultural facts in a very pleasant way. A 10 for the excursion, although those of you with vertigo should be careful.

The bus ride was really long. Approx 9hrs for round trip. Meteora guide - Clement was really awesome! There's quite a no. of stairs to climb to the monasteries. The view was spectacular.

Ottima La cordialità delle guide e la precisione della loro gestione. Discutibili gli autisti dei pullman che non hanno mai contato le persone a differenze di quanto fatto dalle guide in ogni tratta.

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.
