- Climber518491712530 contributionsGreat tourGreat Tour..George was a great tourleader...January is super.month for trips like this because not so many people on places...Highly reccomended😀Written January 18, 2025
- 727haydenl0 contributionsGood but bus broke downThe whole trip was a good experience. However when we went to go back home the bus wouldn’t start and we had to wait for 2 hours for another bus to come pick us up.Written January 15, 2025
- sambP4616GQ0 contributionsAmazing Meteora TourIt was amazing experience esp. with the tour guide Eva. Very knowledgeable, friendly guide. Even with bad weather, she managed to cover the full tour in details. Loved all the places she stopped to take pictures even though it was snowing outside. Love the lunch - worth getting it.Written January 15, 2025
- L8346WBmelanieo0 contributionsIt was magicalWow what a beautiful experience. Our driver going to Meteora was so calm and never made me feel uncertain when the weather changed to snow. Throughout the trip he was great. Riki was amazing. Her knowledge of the area and the Monasteries was amazing. She was able to answer any question that was asked. I’ll definitely be back to see the area again. Now I need to see the area in a different season. It was a magical day. Thank youWritten January 13, 2025
- Quest031435971650 contributionsIncredible visit, would highly recommend even with the long driveThis was an absolutely incredible experience that I would highly recommend to almost anyone. The views from the lookouts are some of the best I've ever seen and the monasteries are beautiful and really interesting. A truly unique experience. The tour is informative and interesting, and our guide Riki was great at explaining the site and answering questions. She also seemed to put a lot of work into planning the day around the conditions and which monestaries were accepting visitors to maximise what we could see. The tour is a lot easier and more accessible than we expected. We were prepared for a lot more walking than we ended up needing to do. The monestaries are only accessible by long stairways so not possible if that is a problem for you, but there were plenty of elderly people and small children at the sites. The drive there and back from Athens is ~4 hours so it is a HUGE day, which could be challenging for kids, but there's plenty to see on the way and lots of time to sleep if you want. My wife and I are usually not into this kind of structured bus tour thing, but this was a really incredible day and maybe the highlight of our trip to Greece.Written January 12, 2025
- Mobile502951076980 contributionsAmazing Guides and Drivers...First Winter Snow!Our trip to Meteora was met with the first winter snow. Ava and our driver L( i apologize for forgetting your name) were superb hosts! Keeping us moving and navigating the precarious roads and highways with expertise and professionalism. We wanted nothing..everything from a delicious Greek moussaka lunch to the uniqueness of the monasteries was laid out to enjoy! Thank you both.Written January 12, 2025
- Rodney B0 contributionsStunning views, and incredible history.From the moment we were picked up for the adventure, the experience was exceptional. You could tell that the entire team took great pride in providing an unforgettable day. Eva, was very knowledgeable and painted a picture of the history of this area. Always with a smile, and always very accommodating. If you are making the trip to Meteora, do yourself a favor and book with this fantastic team!Written January 12, 2025
- FarAway401861990200 contributionsOr audio guide was so soThe guide was super kind. The transportation was excellent. The vr audio is not recommendable though. You should check which video clip you need by confirming where you are with an information post around you.Written January 12, 2025
- Omar E0 contributionsAn all day excursion where you get to see 3 different points of interest and have lunch at Delphi village.Perfect excursion with a great team leader, Vasilis, and an always on time driver, George! We got to visit Delphi Archaeological Site, Delphi Archaeological Museum and Arachova. This excursion requires a bit of hiking at the Delphi Archaeological Site. I definitely recommend this excursion to the public.Written January 11, 2025

Our driver Costos was excellent. It's a long trip from Athens, and having a private vehicle for two couples and a driver who was very knowledgeable about the route and sights along the way made the entire journey enjoyable. He gave us options of locations to stop along the way for coffee along the seaside, a local restaurant for lunch, hot springs to rest our feet, a castle and other points of interest. Meteora is a one of a kind remarkable place and this day is one of the highlights of our trip to Greece.

The day trip to Meteora was amazing (sightofathens.org). We visited 4 monasteries and enjoyed lunch in the village. I was shocked by the magic and beauty of the place. I took the tour together with my brother and mother. No doubt we will have something to remember when we become old. I have traveled around the world (I am a scientist) so I have visited many places, but Meteora has something truly special. I have to say that the driver and tour guide, Mr. Giorgos Samoilis, was very friendly and warm at all moments. He knew a lot of the Greece culture and he delighted us with stories about Greek ancient times. If you take the tour to Meteora (or others since indeed I also took with Mr. Giorgos the trips to the oracle of Delphi and Mycenae), I totally recommend you to ask for him.

It was a great trip and Giorgos Twodrive gave us peace of mind on the road and thoughtful arrangements. He took good care of my elderly parents and gave a lot of useful advice on the choice of destinations.
