テッサロニキ：メテオラ修道院の終日ツアー

I did this trip from Thessaloniki which meant a four hour bus ride each way (including one change of buses) to the meeting point where the big touring bus picked me up with the other tourists from Athens and elsewhere. The instructions I received via email where very detailed and helpful; the only glitch was the return trip when, due to slowed traffic, I almost missed the connection to the second bus that was just leaving the station at 8pm, with no more buses scheduled that night. But I got the driver to open the door for me. The tour itself is really excellent, and so I am very glad I booked it, even though it meant a very long day. Maria, our guide was the best! She is knowledgeable, attentive, approachable, fun—everything you want in a good guide. There are several monasteries perched in the mountains, and you get to go inside three of them—which three you get to see depends on which day of the week you are visiting. You see the others from vantage points. Such a magical and amazing place! Really worth seeing if you have the time. I’m very glad I did it!

This is definitely a tour worth doing. Amman Express, the local agents are to be congratulated for their organisation. Eleni the guide was excellent at her job and Dimitri's a very safe driver. The tour is a long one but Medeora is magical and we visited 2 monasteries and saw magnificent landscapes

The welcome at the station was very professional and our tour guide and driver exceptional. The busses are very clean and neat. They stopped at a taverna prior to the tour for refreshments and a quick bite. The tour was very informative, our female guide (sorry, cannot recall her name) was friendly, concerned for every passenger and highly professional. Would recommend her any time. Would I do this tour again from Thessaloniki by train? Big yes! I would recommend this to all my relatives and friends. Thank you from the 2 Samos Greeks (Billy & Freddie) and 2 South Africans (Eugene & Andre)

I loved the experience in Meteora; the place was excellent, and the guides were very kind and polite.

Comfortable and interesting tour but it could be longer. We would have had time for visit to a 4th monastery. We were back at the train station 1h.15 before the train departure. The travel from Athens or Thessaloniki is so long that you want to enjoy more of it.
