Loved Meteora Hiking Tour with a visit to the monasteries with Tour Guide Evan - First, this is the second Meteora tour we have taken with Visit Meteora Travel. This second tour was just as wonderful as our Meteora Sunset Tour. Evan, the tour guide, was warm, welcoming, and certainly an experienced hiker as well as knowledgeable about the local plants, fauna, and history of the Meteora monasteries. He has such an easy-going personality so it easy easy to converse with him and learn more about Meteora and Greece in general.
The small group was the perfect size to ensure access to the tour guide and also allow interaction among the other guests.
My wife thoroughly enjoyed our Meteora Hiking Tour with a visit to the monasteries!

It’s simply beautiful! Experience the beauty of Nature and of good Architecture. - A beautiful historical place of mountains and Monastery built by hand on steep mountain top +400 years back. The scenic beauty needs to be experienced. To walk up the mountain is a challenge. But, worth it!
We enjoyed the sunset view. Our family Reached Meteora from Athens by Bus at 6am. Still managed to see 3 Monasteries incl 1 Nunnery.

Great private tour - We had a wonderful experience with Jim our driver / guide on the half day private tour. He knew so much about the history and best spots for phtotos. A very pleasant man and morning. Money well spent! Thank you for making our visit even more special.

So good we had to do it twice - Our tour guide, Katerina, was so wonderful that after we took her tour a few years ago, we decided to do it again, bringing along my retirement-age mother and a few family members. She will give you a look at places in Meteora that you will NOT find anywhere else. Highly recommended!

Great Tour - Our private tour was with 3 couples. The monasteries were incredible. A must see if traveling to Greece. Our guide and driver were wonderful. Because one of the monastery’s was so crowded, our guide asked if we would like to see a hermitage, instead of waiting in a very long line at the monastery. We agreed, and it was worth seeing. We all had a great time.

Treat Yourself to an Incredible Tour - We had a fantastic private 1/2 day tour. Our guide, Jim, was amazing and we highly recommend you request him as your guide. His energy was as boundless as his knowledge of the monasteries. As an added benefit he could also explain all of the native plants and then pivot to discussions on the Greek economy.
A fantastic tour in a very nice, clean, air conditioned SUV.
If you come to Meteora, we highly recommend a 1/2 day tour with Jim.
