A Wonderful Day of Hiking with Chris P. in Meteora - We had an incredible experience on our half-day hiking tour with Chris P. Chris was extremely engaging and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the history, geology, and culture of Meteora throughout the hike. His passion for the area really made the experience come alive. The hike itself was stunning, offering countless opportunities to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Meteora’s monoliths — both from below and from spectacular vantage points above. Chris struck the perfect balance between guiding us and allowing time to simply take in the surroundings, and we had many interesting and enjoyable conversations along the way. It was truly a wonderful day of hiking — one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to explore Meteora in a meaningful and memorable way!

A unique and inspiring experience - We really enjoyed this tour. The scenery is stunning, and the monastery we visited was a beautiful and serene place despite all the tourists visiting. Our guide Chris was super knowledgeable and passionate about local history, culture and ecology, and very genuine and sincere, which is not always the case with tour guides. The walk terrain can be rocky and steep at times, so this wouldn’t be suited to those who are very unfit or unsteady on their feet. But for anyone who enjoys exploring nature and is seeking a rich cultural and ecological experience that you won’t find anywhere else, I would definitely recommend this tour.

An experience that will stay with me for years. - We couldn't have picked a better time to visit such a serene place. It wasn't busy because it's far from peak season and amazing sunny winter weather. What topped it all of having a guide like Christos, with unlimited knowledge and with so much love for these lands, it made the experience 10x better than it already was. 100% recommend Visit Meteora Travel for your tours in the area.
