Greece is back in force with Ammon Express. Reasonable prices ,excellent service and informative high quality guides. The trip to Meteora is long and requires outstanding driving skills. Dimitri displayed them together with vast knowledge,insight and healthy humor. The duration of the trip becomes really irrelevant in such pleasant company. Meteora is an international gem that is worth every effort. The trip was well planned in advance so that we could leisurely visit 3 monasteries, enjoy lunch and rest in between. Highly recommended. Corona wise, we felt safe all the way and the rules were enforced rigorously.

We booked this tour months in advance. We were then contacted by this company and told in order to go we will have to pay an additional $170 Euros in cash when we got there to pay for transportation. We agreed but asked that this tour be very informative about Alexander the Great and then they canceled the tour. So we never ended up going with this company. I guess they didn’t expect to give an informative tour.

This service is AMAZING!!! He contacted me in the UK same day I booked the pick up service. My wife and I were picked from the airport by Konstatinos, who arrived very early and patiently waited for us, with our names clearly visible in his hands. Konstatinos is very polite and respectful, making sure to help with and sort our luggages, and ensuring he opened our doors for us and shutting the doors after my wife and I. The drive to our hotel from the airport was very smooth and interesting because Konstatinos told us about Greece, while explaining the various attractions and points of interests. Konstatinos also picked my wife and I from our hotel in Lithohoro to Thessaloniki for our visits to the various attractions, telling us which attractions are the best. On our return to our hotel Konstatinos took us to a fantastic grocery shop that had everything we needed so that we can get some essential supplies; he waited so patiently for us while we shopped, never complaining or unhappy about the extra time incurred by him. At the end of our holiday, Konstatinos arrived very early to take us to the Thessaloniki airport, ensuring we got there on time as instructed. Konstatinos is an amazing driver, very friendly and intelligent, he understands and speaks English excellently. He is very polite and such a gentleman always ensuring he opens our doors for us and shutting the doors after my wife and I. He made our comfort and enjoyment a point of duty, reassuring us that we can contact him anytime as needed. Thank you very much for everything KONSTATINOS!!! Konstatinos and the service provided are simply AMAZING!!!
