Ricardo – PortugalNovember 20, 2023 – Verified booking
Overall it was a fantastic experience, exploring the peaks and valleys of Meteora, our guide Maria was extremely informative and very approachable answering any questions we might have. The only negative point was the extreme discomfort on the bus from Athens to Kalabaka, (the same on the return) which was extremely cramped, which is very noticeable on a 4.30 hour trip, and there was very little constant WiFi. Other than that, a spectacular experience.
