Excelente guide Maria
1日で素晴らしいメテオラの修道院巡りをできたことは非常に価値のあるツアーだと思います現地ツアーコンダクターのマリアさんも非常に良かったです
Worth the long day It is a long day with the train ride to and from Athens but well worth it. The scenery is incredible Our guide was Maria and she was fantastic
“Vale a pena!”
O passeio é bem cansativo mas vale a pena. Tivemos conosco a guia Eva que falava ingles e espanhol e conseguimos entender tudo perfeitamente! O motorista que nos guiou junta com ela tambem era MUITO gente fina. Adoramos o lugar, visitamos dois mosteiros com visuais deslumbrantes. A cidade é bem pequena, o tour acabou as 16h e tivemos tempo pra almoçar (escolhemos fazer depois do tour). Recomendo que leve água e chapeu caso seja epoca de caloe, pois voce ira andar bastante! Fomos no trem se primeira classe e nao nos arrependemos pois o normal estava abarrotado e aparentemente desconfortável! A primeira classe voce fica numa sala clm mais 5 pessoas apenas, é cansativo por serem 4h de viagem massss aguenta que no final vale a penan Obrigado Eva e motorista que esqueci o nome, voces fizeram desse dia tudo de bom!
“La guía estupenda, explicaba todo de maravilla y el conductor también”
Beautiful scenery!
Organized tour. Knowledgeable guide and very friendly. Always concerned if we needed some waters since it was very hot during our tour. To make everyone is well hydrated.
Breathtaking and amazing are the words that come to mind. Our train was delayed by around 2.5 hours due to mechanical problems but Vasilis, our guide, whisked us off immediately to start our journey to a beautiful landscape with a rich history.
