We were picked up on time by Zacharias Vardakis. We requested a modification on our trip & he fulfilled this. He was knowledgeable about the history of Athens & surrounding areas. We felt like he gave more than what he was supposed to as our driver. We had a great time with Zacharias. Felt safe around him & his driving skills was safe.
Thank you Welcome for pairing us with Zacharias!

Ilias was a very friendly driver and was very accommodating! One of our passengers has issues walking and was unable to handle the stairs at Meteora so Ilias stayed with him while the rest of us did the tour. Meteora itself was beautiful and is a must see for anyone in the area. The four hour drive did not feel like four hours and Ilias made us as comfortable as possible on the ride there and back. The ride would’ve been slightly more comfortable in a van since there were 4 of us but the car worked fine! It was surprisingly roomy. Definitely would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see meteora within a day trip.

This private booking on Meteora trip is highly recommended. Do not book on big tour groups. Although the trip is a long drive with a driver to take you from Hotel to Kalambaka. Those monasteries and King Leonidas monument are a must to see outside Athens Greece. Our Driver, Angelo is very friendly, accomodating and excellent driver. We had a pleasant tour.
