I DO NOT recommend booking this package. Key Tours was very poor with communication: they would not provide necessary and accurate details in a timely manner. The hotel was not great and the included meals were bad. However the excursions were fantastic. If I were to visit Meteora again, which I highly recommend, I would book everything myself. By skipping the middle man, you save money and are put in direct contact with the wonderful and helpful people near Meteora and your life is easier. All your questions are answered and there are no surprises. Meteora is a beautiful, must-see destination!
