Meteora Monasteries - Excellent tour. Highly recommended. Tour guide Nancy was informative and enthusiastic about the monasteries and their history. There was plenty of time for visiting and pictures and we didn't feel rushed. The bus pick up and drop off were seamless. So glad we took this tour. One of our favourite stops on our Greece trip.

Excellent excursion to Meteora monasteries - Thank you for the amazing excursion. Very interesting information. It was interesting to find out about the story of documentary project about the holy trinity monastery, that turned out the be a James Bond -film. 🩷 Very pleased 🩷 And Kalampaka is a lovely village. Springtime is the excellent time to visit Meteora. Not too crowded place. Excellent food 🩷😋

Great experience, well organised tour - The monasteries of meteora are a must see! Did a day tour from thessaloniki. Initially had planned to take the train but due to disruptions in service, alternative options were provided by the company who were swift and responsive in making the arrangements. Many thanks to Chris for the smooth drive over and return, pointing out scenery along the way. The tour itself was well conducted. Maria was also a bubbly and enthusiastic guide. Had a great time! Highly recommended.

Meteora is a Must See! - We did a morning small group tour with Meteora Thrones. Visiting Meteora was the highlight of our Athens trip. The view was incredible and the monasteries were unbelievably beautiful. Our tour guide Stacy did a great job with the history of the monasteries and Meteora.
Ate a Meteora Restaurant which was fantastic. The drive from Athens was easy as it was highways.
Highly recommend!

Recommended especially on Sunday and public holidays - Excursion quite recommended above all you avoid having to look for parking in the different monasteries, we did it on a Sunday and that, literally, was a pilgrimage of cars.
The Guide, friendly and correct, although he did not enter the monasteries commented some useful explanations.

Great tour - Weather cold and a little wet, but Ioannis and Nikos looked after us well. The rocks looked most atmospheric in the mist . Ioannis provided lots of interesting facts and stories about the monasteries and the area. Highly recommended

Good visit to Monasteries - I picked this company for both morning and evening visits to the monateries. It was convenient, they picked me up from the hotel. We got to visit a Church as well. The guide could have prepared better.

Meteora is great but you can also take your own car to the monasteries. - It was nice to be taken everywhere in the van.
We mainly joined the tour to get extra information.
We also got that in the bus but it was a pity that the guide did not join the monasteries. We would have liked to get information in the monasteries as well.
