The best tour company and the best tour one could hope for. - The best tour company that we have used throughout our world travels. Our trip started with us initially having to cancel our 2 day trip an hour before commencement due to my granddaughter falling sick. But instead of just cancelling the trip our tour operator arrived at our hotel picked up myself , daughter and granddaughter and took us to emergency at the hospital, then waited, collected us, personally went to a pharmacy and then a supermarket for supplies and medication. A wonderful man , true Greek generosity. He stayed in touch with us all day and with my granddaughter recovering convinced us to resume the tour and travel that afternoon to Meteora so as to avoid the crowds and catch the stunning sunset on the mountains. What a wonderful experience that turned out to be. The next morning after a restful night in Kalambaka we toured the monestries again before the massive crowds from the major bus tours arrived . As we were leaving the queues of buses and people were gathering, no doubt they would be in those queues in the hot sun for hours before even entering. Whereas we were leaving onto our next destination. Terry our tour operator promised us some surprises on the way back to Athens and he sure delivered. We visited Roman bridges, caves with prehistoric bones, an amazing church that slid down a mountain and was stabilised at an angle greater than the ‘Leaning tower of Pisa’ and we were able to experience the sensation of entering the church. As well we visited Tharmopoly and the Statue of Leonidas. To think we missed the majority of our first day , what a magnificent tour. We can’t recommend Terry and CatTaxi enough they have been fantastic. We also arranged for them to collect us too and from the airport and again never missed a beat, on time even though our planes were delayed. Superb people superb company superb tour.

Don’t scroll by, book with Cattaxi! - This has to be the most memorable trip we have ever taken. Sophia and Fanis picked us up at our hotel in Athens, we stopped at many interesting places along the way (some surprise stops as well). They picked us up later that night after we checked into our hotel to take some photographs and stopping to watch the sunset. We were picked up again the next morning to tour some monasteries, take photos, and some stops on the way back to Athens. We were treated exceptionally well. The staff was kind, helpful and very reliable. My inquiries before booking were answered promptly and with professionalism. We also used cattaxi for our airport pickup! I would book with Cattaxi again in a heartbeat!!!
