Athens for solo travellers

This tour was absolutely wonderful. The views of the landscape as we wound our way up through Meteora were stunning, and there were plenty of opportunities for photos. Our guide, Maria, was so knowledgeable and friendly, and her enthusiasm was infectious. We learned all about the history of the area and the monasteries, and her knowledge was so current that she knew how many nuns would be joining one of them by the next month! The monasteries themselves were so beautiful, and the art in the churches was nothing short of spectacular. Also, some of the artefacts in the museums were amazingly well-preserved for how old they were. The drive was very long (I recommend bringing something to do) but comfortable, with stops halfway (that's about 2 hours, so if you need regular bathroom breaks, bring some coins for the monastery bathrooms). Lunch was tasty and hearty, and kept us well-fuelled for all the walking. By the time we arrived back in Athens, we were completely exhausted, but it was so worth it. I'd go again, and definitely recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you again Maria for making our experience so amazing :)

Actual tour was amazing, but we were told 2 different pick up locations and only ended up realising this once we got to the wrong location. Bus didn't turn up so rang the company and they said the pick up address was on the other side of Athens. Had to quickly uber to the right location after being told the wrong one, we were very lucky to not miss it. More information should be provided on this tour as it is quite unorganised.

The price is fine. The bad reviews, we had a stomach ache to book it online. but everything was totally uncomplicated and worked without any problems. Perhaps the departure times could be combined a little better with the other lines. Unfortunately the last trip wasn't clear for us and so we had a little problem at the end of the day. We would like to emphasize that the staff was super friendly and helpful. We would have liked a little more information about the headphones, they are a bit thin and could be expanded. You can approach everything with the normal metro, but it was much more relaxed.
