Incredible  - There isn't a word in the dictionary that comes close to describing this wonderful experience. Our tour guide's knowledge of the history of Meteora really enhanced our experience. Photo opportunities... read more are abundance and ever shot worth a million. A must to experience!

Fascinating tour of a unique World Heritage site. Yiannis was a knowledgeable guide. We had many stops for photos and were able to enter three of the monasteries. Well worth... read more the many stairs we had to climb.

Meteora 2 day trip - We had a wonderful experience with Meteora Thrones. Very accommodating to our needs, plus we had a wonderful travel guide! Highly recommended!

Meteora Thrones as a tour agency for your visit to the magical monasteries is highly recommended. Chris, our tour guide, was a funny big man who has extensive knowledge when... read more it comes to Meteora and Kalabaka/Kalambaka. He did give us a much needed historical significance of the area from where the name arrived along with the circa dates and the legends and stories associated with the rocks. Also, combined with his humor, he informed us about the commercial aspect of the place regarding movie and ad shoots. They waited for us because our train arrived 40 mins late from Athens, but still managed to cover the trip at a good pace giving us ample time to enjoy the views and stops. This place gives a heavenly feel and should be on a must visit list when coming to Athens. Train to train tour by Meteora Thrones proves to be an excellent value of money when you book your own train ticket and buy this short tour ticket with them in advance. No hassle.

Great tour  - Great tour. Did the morning hike with Christos. Exceptional guide, very informative and interesting. Would recommend this tour.

This was amazing! Just everything you wish for its there. You have your own time to explore but still keep the group. The guide I got was really awesome and... read more so clever. If you go to Greece this is a must do experience even the train is a bit too long then its totally worth it.

We had a great time with this tour. Our tour guide greeted us at the Kalambaka train station parking lot. We were grouped with other tourists in a big coach... read more bus. The tour began by taking us to a 20min stop in the Kalambaka town to grab some food. The tour is well organized with photo and monastery stops. The tour ended at Kalambaka train station, about 50 minutes before our scheduled train back to Athens.

The company also offers this tour with return train tickets from Athens. It's a little more expensive than booking the train tickets yourself. However, the trainose website is not well organized. I got first class tickets for a family of 4 with 2 young children. 2 days before my trip, the train company emailed me and said I have booked the handicapped seats due to technical difficulty from their part, and they changed my tickets to coach class. I wasn't happy but I wasn't going to fuss about it. But when we were boarding, those coach seats were actually occupied. After some stress and communication, the train conductor put us in empty seats in first class (and some other wonderful passengers volunteered to move their seats so we could sit together with our young children). And similar thing happened on our return train tickets back to Athens. I'm happy that at the end it was resolved. But we are traveling in low season now. I can't imagine what would happen if the train was full in high season.

The point of my story is, it might be worth it to book the tour along with the train tickets through a 3rd party who probably would know how to navigate the trainose ticketing website.

Guide Clement and driver Elias made the tour visits in good timing and enjoyable. Glad to learn more about the monasteries and soaked in the magnificent landscape.

Everything was just perfect and well organized. We had a wonderful time during our daily trip to Meteora. Highly recommended!

Giannis the tour guide was a true professional explaining everything in detail and in the best manner.

My grandmother booked a private Meteora tour and was the best choice she could make!

Awesome tour!
Highly recommended! The path was great and we saw Meteora from a different "glance" that we didn't have the chance to experience it in other tours. The forest... read more was beautiful.
Christos our hiking guide was amazing!! He explained the history, geography, and the flora and fauna of the place, while hiking.

I did this tour together with my two children (11 and 14 years old) and my husband. We knew it was going to be a long day with spending 8... read more hours in total on the train, but we were really interested to visit this unique area of Greece. We brought our simit, coffees and water on the train, but there was a bar car as well selling drinks and snacks. The morning train ride is great as you get to see the beautiful landscape of rural Greece. We arrived and got picked up by our tour guide Fotini and our driver Thanos. We had booked a private tour so we got a whole van to ourselves. That way we also had the flexibility to choose which monasteries to visit and do it at our own pace. We loved the tour very much. Fotini was very knowledgable and we learnt heaps. At the end of the afternoon they dropped us off at a fabulous restaurant (Metheora) as we told them that we are foodies and love to eat! After our fantastic meal they picked us up again and dropped us off at the station. The journey back is long and it was dark, so we napped a bit. Although it's a very long day, it was totally worth it. I would thoroughly recommend it. If you have small children or you like to travel and visit the monasteries at a slower pace, I would stay overnight as there is a lot to see. Also, some of the monasteries you have to climb up a lot of steps. For ladies, don't forget to wear a long skirt or dress as otherwise you won't be able to go inside the monasteries.

Receptionist was really kind the tour gide was extremely sincere and helpful he made the tour very interesting with facts I totally recommend it

Fantastic trip, train trip was easy. 2nd class more than comfortable. Hotel is adequate with great location. Both guides night and day tours were knowledgeable and humerus.

Best restaurant was opposite the waterfall in the square.
