Worth the visit! - The train ride to the meeting point was really beautiful one of the highlights of my trip actually. The tour guides were very kind! and ready to answer any question you might have. The visit to the monasteries started around noon - 1pm and The views are incredible. If there is an afternoon- evening tour I recommend this instead.

Great Experience - Visited them recently and had a great time. Stacy (our guide) and Steve (our driver) met us at the Kalambaka bus stop, and made sure we had a very good trip. We managed to stop for a quick, but very good lunch at a local restaurant. We got sufficient time to see 3 monasteries, all with very different stories and characters of their own. Stacy told us a bunch of stuff, and answered our many questions, and also took some very nice photos for us. Would highly recommend these guys!

Monasteries in Meteora trip - We had a great time. Booked this tour just the day before and everything was organised perfectly. There were 8 of us and the tour started at 10am to fit our schedule. Stacy, the guide is young, energetic and informative. We saw 3 of the monasteries from the outside and went into the other 3 monasteries. You can choose the monasteries to enter.
Although we drove to Meteora and could have driven to the monasteries, taking this tour is highly recommended as we were able to understand and get the picture of what Meteora and the monasteries is about with the info from Stacy. Thank you for the great experience.

Splendid hiking tour - We had an amazing hike guided by the very knowledgeable and delightful Christos who is clearly passionate about Meteora and sharing his extensive knowledge. The pace set was perfect for our group and we saw much much more than we had the previous day in our minibus. Breathtaking. Would highly recommend.

Oh the mighty Rocks!! - Our tour leader Christina and driver were delightful, friendly and informative. We had to wait for other guests to arrive on a bus from Athens, which delayed the start of the trip, but we were not rushed as a consequence. We saw everything the tour advertised, and traveled in a comfortable air-conditioned van. The monasteries and scenery surrounding was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this tour. Be prepared to climb steps to monasteries!

The best guide ever!!! - We came on a trip to Greece with our three children (ages 8-12) and were debating whether to take the tour because 4 hours sounds very long to us with children.
Happily, we met Chrissa, the guide who accompanied us. A beautiful girl, full of energy, knowledge and patience who knew how to make the entire tour accessible to us and the children in a most fascinating way! Contrary to all concerns, unfortunately the tour went by very quickly and we were left with a taste for more. ❤️

Great tour run by a small local company - Really lovely tour. This local company ran it for me although I was the only person who booked for this day. Plenty of interesting information and photo opportunities. I was picked up from my hotel (Guest house Oikia) and Penny lead the tour, she was very knowledgeable. Very good value if I’d been in a small group but excellent value for a solo tour. Let the guide know if you have any mobility issues - only one monastery I visited had no steps and some have more than others.
