Day trip from Athens,... - Day trip from Athens, absolutely amazing day. It’s a good ride from the city, but doesn’t seem that long and plenty of scenery and stop offs. Well organised and Maria our guide was absolutely brilliant. Fantastic day.

Meteora Monasteries - The monasteries were fantastic. It is regrettable that they do not let you take pictures inside the main church rooms because I will never be able to remember everything. But, the best part of the trip for me was the fantastic guide Maria. She is an exceptional positive force in the universe. Exceptionally genuine, lovely smile, and very nice. You can't help but feel happy around this person. Since I was traveling by myself, I really had no one to speak to. But Maria made it a point to speak to me and made me feel much more included. I give the monasteries a 4.9/5.0 (just because I wish I could have taken pictures), but I give Maria a 5.0/5.0. You sort of feel that you are short on time, but since the places are small and no pictures allowed inside the main rooms of each monastery, the amount of time they allot for each stop is pretty right on target practically. All you can really do in such a place that has centuries of artifacts, frescoes, etc., is sort of generally take it all in. Staring at these things for longer time does not really broaden the experience. These are popular locations and so they were fairly crowded. But, people move along well, and so this isn't generally a problem. I will say that tourists in general should be more accommodating of their rules. Each monastery says women must wear skirts below the knee. It says this everywhere, on line, at the sites, etc. But still every place we went, there were people arguing about it. It is not about how much skin is exposed, they don't allow women to wear spandex pants, shorts, jeans pants, short skirts, only skirts that go below the knee. They provide these as temporary wrap arounds, but these active monasteries have historical customs, and we must abide. Wear a medium length skirt if you are taking this trip and save yourself the trouble of needing to discuss this at every stop. Men must wear shorts that go to at least the knee also, nothing shorter.

Spiritual experience! - It’s a lot of walking for someone with health conditions but if you can do it please take your time and do it. It’s a beautiful experience and you won’t regret it.

Meteora was surreal. Everything I imagined - Vasily was so knowledgeable and the experience was all I expected. Truly amazing place. Loved it. 😍 🙏

Great tour! - Maria was such a wonderful tour guide. She was so knowledgeable and also hilarious!! They brought us to a wonderful local restaurant with traditional Greek foods. Our tour guide and driver brought us to all the monasteries and gave many opportunities for picture taking. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend!

MUST SEE IN GREECE! - It’s a 14 hours trip but so worthy. This place is amazing and truly a wonder. Excellent tour guide who is knowledgeable and funny. Our driver going to Meteora is very helpful and kind. Overall an excellent and memorable day!

Awesome tour - Beautiful sites, guide and drivers were very good. History was fun to learn. Steps were a killer but worth it. I'd recommend the trip

Breathtaking views - Awesome! Very impressive, well worth the time to get there and back. Guide was very knowledgeable. Each monastery was unique. Hermit cave with scarves was memorable

Awe inspiring tour with a great guide! - Meteors was absolutely stunning and awe inspiring. It is amazing to think about the history of the monasteries being built on these peaks. Getting on the buses was a little confusing because they were on opposite sides of the street and everyone seemed a bit anxious trying to figure out which one was theirs so no one would miss their bus. The restaurant stop along the way had great cafeteria style food but the workers screamed again and again at everyone to get in line and probably needed to relax a little. But other than that, amazing trip with an outstanding tour guide! Definitely a must see!

Divided... - I'd recommend this tour to others with some reservations. It's a very long tour and the coach bus wasn't the most comfortable or cleanest. However, our tour guide whose name I unfortunately forgot was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and shared some fun stories from her childhood as well as some background and historical information that I would not have learned online or from other places. It is a very long tour and it does get very exhausting about halfway through the tour. At the risk of being disrespectful, by the third monastery, I felt that if you see one, you've kind of seen it all. It may be better to have an option of riding the bus up, do the tour, than stay over at one of the local hotels to return the next day.
