Excellent tour from Thessaloniki to Medeora - This is definitely a tour worth doing. Amman Express, the local agents are to be congratulated for their organisation. Eleni the guide was excellent at her job and Dimitri's a very safe driver. The tour is a long one but Medeora is magical and we visited 2 monasteries and saw magnificent landscapes

Big High-5 Tour! A must do with this Company. - The welcome at the station was very professional and our tour guide and driver exceptional. The busses are very clean and neat. They stopped at a taverna prior to the tour for refreshments and a quick bite. The tour was very informative, our female guide (sorry, cannot recall her name) was friendly, concerned for every passenger and highly professional. Would recommend her any time. Would I do this tour again from Thessaloniki by train? Big yes! I would recommend this to all my relatives and friends. Thank you from the 2 Samos Greeks (Billy & Freddie) and 2 South Africans (Eugene & Andre)

Comfortable and... - Comfortable and interesting tour but it could be longer. We would have had time for visit to a 4th monastery.
We were back at the train station 1h.15 before the train departure. The travel from Athens or Thessaloniki is so long that you want to enjoy more of it.
