Yvonna the guide was brilliant, so engaging and knowledgeable, I learnt things about the whole area I didn’t know . She made sure we knew what to expect when there and how it worked and the time and place to meet back.
The scenery is worth the trip on its own, unbelievable views, you get a chance for a photo stop.
The trip is very long, it’s an 10-11 hour day so be prepared, take drinks and some snacks. You make 3 stops, two at the same service station, my tip is fill up on things on the way out because imo the lunch stop isn’t great, we just had a beer and used our supplies, it’s just a big canteen. For me, the only thing I would change is I would knock 10mins off each stop especially if they are not crowded, just so people can be back a bit earlier.

Lovely day with our guide Yvonne and driver Jorge. Yvonne was very professional and informative on the subject of Meteora and Greece in general, while Jorge’s smooth driving skills on the winding roads was appreciated. The only problem was the three of our four rest stops were very very crowded and we spend a lot of time in line ups. Suggest that they see if that could be improved, also we were held up 15-20 minutes waiting for two late comers.

Beautiful and stunning scenery and the monasteries are unbelievable. Long journey 2.5 hours roughly from Parga but worth it. Host was amazing from the tour company, so friendly and informative. Only tip and I wish I had followed it is don’t bother with the restaurant food on the way back. You get herded into a huge restaurant with coaches of people and it’s fast, so you don’t have much time to make up your mind, and to be honest the food is over expensive, sweaty stodgy canteen food. Save your money for the many lovely restaurants in Parga where some care goes into what they serve. I paid 26 euros for the driest grisly souvlaki and a tiny bit of salad. The coffee stop on the morning is lovely you can pick up beautiful filo and spinach pie/cakes and sandwiches there if you are hungry.
A great day out though other than this. Enjoy!

Excellent, well organised tour with perfect time keeping.
Excellent tour guide and driver.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to spend the day with.
The tour itself provides the opportunity to see amazing views and scenery and it’s hard to believe what you are seeing.
In our opinion it is well worth taking this trip, you also get plenty of breaks for drinks etc but be mindful that it is a full day which is tiring.
