Unforgettable, Magical Experience! - An absolutely spectacular experience in every possible way! Yannis was the driver for me and my partner, but he was so much more than that! With exceptional English he told us extensively about the history of the area and the Monasteries, but also about Thessaloniki, and other surrounding areas, so we felt fully immersed in the culture of the region! He is better than most official tour guides while ostensibly being a driver! He was also greatly entertaining and we laughed a lot, making the long drive zoom by (punctuated by stops at a lovely cafe on the way there and a meal in Kalabaka at the foot of the Monasteries before we left). I have mobility issues, so Yannis took us to one monastery that has no steps, then showed us the viewing points for seeing the others from good angles. He was extremely accommodating and thoughtful, and was very helpful and patient! The Monasteries themselves are just magical and this experience is well worth the long drive (especially since the vistas en route are also beautiful and often awe-inspiring, though much of it is flatland). They are so unique and the rock formations are so spectacular, there is little else like it! And we are so happy that we booked this particular tour. It was expensive to go private but it gave us a lot of flexibility which with my leg issues is a big deal! We would definitely do it again! Don't think twice, just book it!

Excellent driver Giannis... - Excellent driver Giannis from De Transfers. Long journey but pleasant. Be ready from 200+ steps ascent to each monastery.

Magical Meteora visit with De Tours Transfers - We were delighted with the punctuality of the service, value for money, knowledge and experience of our guide Yiorgos. We took the drive to Meteora via the scenic route recommended by Yiorgos and we were able to see the magnificent landscape and agricultural aspects of the region including the Pindus mountains, the olive and peach groves and the fields full of sunflowers. On arrival at Meteora our driver took us to areas not witnessed by the majority of visitors which we found fascinating. The only downside was the number of visitors, mainly on coach trips, that made the monasteries slightly overcrowded but we visited during peak season. On return journey Thessaloniki we asked to visit Neraida and the lake of Polyfytou which we found utterly inspiring. The convenience and comfort of the private tour made our experience extremely enjoyable. Our transfers to and from the airport were equally comfortable and arrived as booked. We would not hesitate to recommend De Tours Transfers. Our very grateful thanks to Illias, Dimitra and Yiorgos for making this all possible.
