  We stopped in Volos via cruise ship. As pre-arranged, Nikos was waiting for us with a big smile the moment our ship docked at 7 AM. We had an... read more amazing morning in Meteora. We managed to stay ahead of the tour buses. Nikos gave us a wealth of information and took us to see all the main monasteries, stopping frequently for photos and then to some monasteries where buses can not go. After our tour of Meteora he drove us to the charming hillside village of Makrynista and he got us back to our ship well before the "all aboard" time. We had an outstanding day and highly recommend Nikos and Taxi in Volos to ensure that you have an outstanding day in this spectacular area.

  We pre-booked this taxi company for a journey from Damoucharia to Volos Airport. This is a 2 hour journey along very windy roads from a very remote region of the... read more Pelion. We therefore required a very reliable service (in order to make the flight) and we were not disappointed.

The company was slightly more expensive (€10) than another quote I received but I chose to go with this company for the multiple 5* reviews, and this was the right decision.

I was emailing the taxi company who responded very quickly. I was then given the mobile number of the driver a couple of days beforehand to confirm all arrangements. The taxi driver (Kostas) arrived 20 minutes early (which put us in a great peace of mind given how remote we were) and drove very very carefully around the windy roads.

The payment was all in cash on the day, after the journey, but the price agreed in advance.

I was very impressed with this taxi company, and given the length of trip and petrol prices, thought the price was very reasonable.

Highly recommended!

  Our day trip with George’s taxi service was one of my favorite of our 10 day trip to Greece! From the moment they picked us up until they dropped us... read more off it was an exceptional day. We had a large party of 13 people so we were split up into three different vehicles all with English-speaking drivers who were extremely knowledgeable about the area we visited especially the monasteries which were the highlight of the day. We stopped at a lovely restaurant for a late lunch in Kalabaka. If you plan to visit Volos I would 100% recommend you book with George’s taxi service, you will not be disappointed!

  I booked a taxi through this company so that my dad, sister, and i could visit Meteora during our cruise stop in Volos (I highly recommend doing this in the... read more colder months if your cruise stops in Volos; there’s not much to do nearby otherwise). Our driver was Spiro. When we disembarked our ship, he was just a few meters to our left holding a sign with our name. Couldn’t miss him.

Spiro was an excellent driver. We chatted briefly during our drive there and back but for most of the ride we all napped, so it was a quiet drive. Keep in mind this is not a guided tour, so although we did ask a few questions about the monasteries, Spiro was not able to answer all of them (in fact he said he’s never gone inside any himself!). This didn’t bother us in any way. It was about an hour and 40 min drive to the monasteries and the same amount of time back.

At the monasteries, we realized we were out of euros (poor planning on our part). Spiro was kind enough to lend us cash to pay for our entry fees AND to pay for our dinner in Kalabaka after the monasteries. We invited him to join us for dinner and had great conversation. He stopped at an ATM for us on our way back to the port so we could reimburse him and pay for the taxi service.

If you want to be able to see the monasteries at your own pace and not shuffle around with the ship excursion tour group, definitely book this taxi service.

  Excellent cruise excursion tour to the Meteora Monasteries. Nikos gave us excellent background on the surrounding area’s history and current day economy. We loved his selection for... read more a late lunch as well!
