Meteora trip organized a wonderfull holiday in Greece for me and my family. It was everything we hoped for and we did not have to think about anything. Thank you Meteora trip!!!

Fantastic tour and service!!! Since the first email, they took care about everything, information, continue updates, whatsapp line, really impressed. The tour was very good, the hotel for the night stay was amazing. I’d do it again.

The guide was absolutely fantastic. He had studied history, was very knowledgeable and stroke the perfect balance between education and fun. I can highly recommend the tour.

It was really worth the trip! Meteora is a beautiful place with breathtaking views, and the guide gave us a lot information about the monastaries and its history. The tour stops at 3 monastaries that you can visit inside.

Life changing journey! Amazing experience with an amazing driver. Never before has a driver been this friendly and skilled while also providing a trip that I'll remember for a lifetime!

Meteora is just beautiful! And Meteoratrip company made our experience even better. The guide was very sympathetic and the trip by mini-bus allowed us to visit everything in a short slot of time. I highly recommend

Really nice tour. We were picked up from our accommodation by a modern van. The tour guide was really knowledgable. During the tour we stopped at many places to take pictures. I would definitely recommend this tour.
