1.00The tour in Italian costs much more than the others. I asked several times for confirmation in chat and they guaranteed the guide in Italian. They moved the tour up a day so I could guarantee the tour in my own language. Result? I took a tour in English (for twice the price) with a rude and unhelpful guide. Shameful. I recommend other apps!
Long day

3.00The monestaries we visited were wonderful. The lunch was nice but the long stop for dinner could have been better. The bus trip was very long as expected but the driver was very good. Overall not a bad day.

5.00Fantastic place. A must see. The entire place is beautiful. Need to be fit to access some of the monasteries and climb 300 stairs.
Don’t miss Meteora!

4.00Meteora is the most amazing historical site in Greece, but it’s 5 hrs from Athens. This tour makes it possible to enjoy the drive with lovely lakeside stops and then tour the monasteries w/a knowledgeable guide. He even knows the best photo stops too. Homemade Greek lunch included was a delightful bonus.
Terrible communication...

1.00Terrible communication from tour operator. I wasn’t able to make the scheduled pick up time but was told to meet at the train station. I then proceeded to the train station and ask the tour operator where everyone is. And where my bus was departing from, I didn’t get a response from the tour operator until after the bus left. Not only did I miss the tour, but they are not accepting a refund for miscommunication on their end. Very frustrated. Do not recommend this place. Especially if you’re a foreigner.
Long day, really worth it? bit chaotic with busses

3.00I'm dropping one * because of the experience: I'm not sure it's worth a long day's travel to see the monasteries. The landscape and monasteries really are very beautiful and special, but perhaps just not worth the long day to do it. Another star dropped because some was a bit chaotic: we got picked up, dropped at the bus station and had to look for half-an-hour to find our bus. The guide who joined us for the main part of the tour was great, but the bus driver didn't speak English and couldn't tell us things we needed to know, like when the food stops were and for how long.
