This was a really outstanding experience! We booked this very early not knowing if it could take place because of COVID. The service was excellent from the beginning (very quick answers and assistance) and we were not disappointed ! Our planned trip couldn‘t take place (they didn‘t get the minimum of persons required due to COVID and the lack of tourists) but they offered us an alternative on another day, so we went on a half-private tour in a Mini-Van with 3 other people. Leonidas, our driver was really gentle and we felt like going on a trip with a good old friend. He has an incredible knowledge and answered every question, and there where many of them ... Even we had a strict time schedule, he made little extra wishes come true, for example extra photo stops. All in all we visited 2 out of 6 monasteries, what is really enough because they all look similiar. We had a really tasty lunch at a local restaurant, too. A wonderful day, we really recommend this! Thank you so much Leonidas and Letsbooktravel!Très belle excursion, bonne organisation.

Très belle excursion, bonne organisation. Voyage long, ferry et plus de 2 heures de route pour l’aller, en toute connaissance de cause vu l’éloignement Notre guide Natalia exceptionnelle. Notre chauffeur Vasilius excellent. Une excursion que je recommande. Le seul bémol est le restaurant dans lequel le guide nous a emmené. Le service est rapide mais le patron un voleur qui pratique des prix élevés et des tarifs des boissons à la tête du client. Je ne suis pas certain que Natalia ai pu s’en rendre compte. Cela peu desservir guide et agence car pour le reste cela a été exceptionnel. Un événement inattendu (durite d’air percée nous a immobilisé sur l’autoroute, très rapidement une solution à été trouvée par Natalia et Vasilius, de l’eau nous a été distribué, un autre bus est arrivé rapidement, un autre ferry a été réservé pour Corfou. Du retard mais rien de grave. Une belle journée bien remplie avec d’excellents souvenirs dans un site exceptionnel , une très bonne organisation avec le sourire malgré l’incident technique. Je conseille à tous Oscar Travel et Natalia……Posto splendido ma la guida ha parlato tutto il tempo Russo ed i restanti 8 partecipanti giusto due parole (in inglese che era previsto) nessuno ci ha detto di questa preferenza.

Posto splendido ma la guida ha parlato tutto il tempo Russo ed i restanti 8 partecipanti giusto due parole (in inglese che era previsto) nessuno ci ha detto di questa preferenza. La guida si chiamava Natascia quindi consiglio di chiedere chi è l’accompagnatore. Un altro consiglio prendere i panini anziché mangiare dove previsto… cibo tipo mensa a 14 euro al piatto A parte questo Meteora vale davvero la penaAwesome experience with unique Meteora! The Tour Guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Very organized

It's a must see! The Meteora Monasteries is the most magnificent place I ever seen. There are no cameras that can transfer you the beauty of this place. There are acting churches in the monasteries so I had a chance to leave candles and notes for my beloved ones. We passed amazing views and got plenty of information about them. I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone.The guide knows very well and tell you stories not only about meteora but also along the way.

The guide knows very well and tell you stories not only about meteora but also along the way. The trip was good without any issues and Meteora is an amazing place. The lady doing the english version of the tour inside the monastery was very knowledgeable about everything regarding the buildings, why the paintings are the way they are and etc… Attention to the dress code in the monastery, at least up to when we bought the trip there was no information in TripAdvisor‘s offer (ask then via chat if they don’t add it).
