5.00The experience was great. Chris was just very good in all aspect. Punctual, very knowledgeable in everything related to the region, the history, the geology... The hike was not difficult. However, the part after the visit of the monaster was a little bit more challenging. Nothing crazy though. Overall a very good experience.
Very nice experience. ...

5.00Great tour. Will not take you to most of the monasteries but will get you to cover a good deal of the area surrounding them. I found this combined with driving to some of the individual monasteries the day before a complete tour of Meteora. Kristos was a great and entertaining guide.
