While the trip was amazing and monasteries are remarkable, was very disappointed to learn that private tour guide does not accompany you on the tour… they merely are a shuttle bus driver and provide insight on the drive. The description is deceptive as it needs to prominently (not 1 small bullet at the end) disclose that this is really a transfer service. Loved our driver, but it is not a private tour as title and description state. Would do it on my own next time or do a group tour as not worth the fee.
Wonderful morning experience when it’s still cool and the light is best!

Fabulous way to see Meteora & take gorgeous photos & climb up to several monasteries. Especially fabulous in the summer where the driver waits in air conditioned van for you after monastery climb up & down. Guide doesn’t join in monastery but really not needed. Gives tons of history and info in van and photo stops. Highly recommend.
Brilliant experience

Our guide Nicolas provided us with a wonderful and flexible afternoon of visits, along with town recommendations for later. He was very knowledgeable - and more important, listened and adapted to what we wanted to see/do.
