Volos Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Dream come true! Our guide was extremly knowledgeable, had a lot of humour and looked like a greek god. Whats not to like. 😁 He took really good care of everyone and even helped a lady that was scared to swim, so she could experience even the caves and basically took her under his wings.

Excellent private tour. Our driver Valavis was on time right at our ship. Explained where we would be going and provided just the right amount of history of Volos. We saw five monastery with drop offs and pickup right in front of each. Had a delicious Greek lunch without the crowded tour bus stops. The beautiful scenery and amazing location is worth the drive.

Dimitri was simply amazing. Great experience with small group. Both the time on the water and the history explained made the trip. As a retired Army Colonel previously assigned to Greece, it was great to be back.

A fun day for dog lovers and people interested in Greek cookery and food. It was well organised but still relaxed in true Greek style. Our tour guide Michael was very knowledgeable, friendly, and great fun.

Exploring Meteora with our guide was hands-down the highlight of our trip to Greece. While visiting the main monasteries was already on our bucket list, what made this tour truly extraordinary was our guide's deep knowledge of the area's off-the-beaten-path locations.

Title: An unforgettable experience and excellent value for moneyWe set off at 10:00 a.m. and returned at 1:00 p.m., and every moment was unforgettable. We drank fresh spring water emerging right by the sea, climbed into hidden caves, explored the underwater world, and learned fascinating stories about Pelion, its people, history, and nature.The three-hour duration was more than enough, and the experience offered exceptional value for money—in fact, considering everything included, it could easily have been priced higher. The atmosphere on board was fantastic, with great music, beer, and plenty of water. Most importantly, the boat was not overcrowded: the number of guests was perfectly suited to its capacity, so everyone had a comfortable place to sit without feeling cramped.Above all, Alexandros was an exceptional captain and an incredible host. His passion and genuine love for what he does shine through—and that is exactly why he is so good at it.A truly unique 10/10 experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend to everyone!

Beautiful views, guide was excellent with lots of interrsting stories about pelion history and geograpgy. Lots of time for swimming. Note we booked 4 people and shared the tour with another family - it is not private. Still great experience highly recommended.

We traveled with Konstantinos and it was truly an excellent experience. A very kind, helpful, and attentive guide, with excellent knowledge of the area. It gave us a lot of useful information about the places we visited, but also about shops and anything else we needed. We thank him very much and I certainly recommend him!

We were a group of 6 people for a transfer from Larissa to Volos and we had a super nice experience. Super punctual, professional, and friendly. The mini van was very comfortable and driving very safe. We would reuse their services without hesitating.

My family and I had a wonderful experience with Dimitri. I booked a combination transfer and Meteora visit. Dimitri waited for us and picked us up at the port of Volos. He took us to Meteora and drove us to the different monasteries, panoramic views, gift shops, and to lunch before driving us to our vacation rental in Platamonas. Dimitri was courteous, kind, and very professional. He was flexible and attentive to our needs as a family with kids and a grandparent, and made sure to get us to our destination by the time that we needed to arrive. We had an excellent experience with him. I highly recommend booking with him.

Very good experience with Dimitris and his team. On time, very tolerant and patient with our late flight. Clear and comfortable car for the family transfer Volos - Athens

Nikos was a fantastic guideNikos will also recommend good restaurants to try out if you’re never been to VolosI would recommend booking this experience to get a full view of what Volos has to offer if you have never been there before

I cannot put into words how much I enjoyed this day. Our host Michael was simply charming + we had great fun. Fitstly taking the dogs for a walk, getting to know the history & cuddle time with the pups followed by a great cookery lesson from local Maria and sitting down to enjoy her home cooked food topped off the perfect day! Highly reccomended trip for sure. Thank you Louise & Sophie!

Excellent tour guide nice views. Best option if you don’t want to go all the way to Meteora.

Beautiful monasteries built into and on top of mountains with breathtaking views. There are a lot of stairs to climb to actually get into the monasteries from the parking lot. You really need to be able to climb stairs without stopping (not very wide to pull over to rest). We saw quite a few elderly people struggling. That said, I'm 63 and didn't have any problem. Woman must wear skirts, not just have your knees covered. They do provide wraps for you to tie around your waist at no cost.

It is just as described...and well worth the trip. No regrets...super glad we went! Absolutely recommended.
