Good trip - Quite a long coach ride, but Meteora is spectacular and well worth it, particularly if the sun is out. Konstantina was a great guide, and Ilias drove well. Organisation was excellent.

James - This is a great tour. The views from the Monasteries is spectacular. It was well organised and even the trip is long ( 3.5 hours each way) I definitely recommend it.

Magnificent Meteora - Super day trip from Thessaloniki; good for all ages. Ammon Express is a well organized, responsible company, and the bus was super clean and comfortable (important for the hours-long drive to Thessaly). Meteora, though quite crowded with tourists, is a must see while in northern Greece. Eléni was a terrific guide with a wealth of knowledge regarding one of most profoundly historic countries in the Western world. She took care of the roughly 30 members of our group like a personal assistant with travel advice and cuisine recommendations. I could not imagine a better guide for this tour. Remember to bring cash for the monastery entrances, which they advertise.

Meteora, not to be missed - Did everything right except they have wrong dinning partner. Because of that, just 4 stars. The guide was very informative, helping and kind, but could improve english pronounciation, and the speakers in the bus could have been better for understanding. Experience is wonderful, and definetly worth money. Try to buy souvenirs from the souvenir truck in front of one of the monasteries, best value

Metéora is a wonderful... - Metéora is a wonderful monumental place which is worth visiting. Eva is an experienced guide who was taking care of our comfort and safety. The only thing we didn’t appreciate very much was the visit to theĺ restaurant where we felt manipulated by the manager.

It was pretty well... - It was pretty well organized trip with a lot of sitting in the bus. The bus went right in front of two monastries that we could visit, which was nice. Note that there is no toilet in the bus! The 1h40min travel before a designated toilet break, was painfully long after eating lunch.
