About

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.

There many steps to go up and down to tour the Monasteries, so if... read more you have mobility issues you may want to do only 2 of the 3 tours. I have very bad knees and I still gave the tour a 5 star rating. Two of the tours were much better for me to handle. Don't miss this one!

Very well organised with a very interesting guide . I do recommend the tour.

Dimitrios was an amazing guide! We had such a great experience. The monasteries are beyond words and truly worth the trip. We were worried about the long... read more train ride but it ended up being really fine, and my kids met some new friends along the way.

Beautiful weather, perfect amount of time at each monastery, and good information from Giannis the tour guide

This was a private tour and was well worth it! Both our driver and tour guide have been exceptional, friendly yet professional!

Our tour guide, Charis, was very... read more knowledgeable about the history of the monasteries and other attractions in the area of Meteora that we visited and he literally answered any question that he had, a lot of times backing his responses with references to official historic and recent research data.

That was probably on of the best experiences overall we had from a guided tour that lasted a bit over 5 hours. Thank you Charis, Sakis and Meteora Thrones!

Very nice guide and driver. Interesting comments and relaxed atmosphere. Very convenient with young kids.

Wonderful introduction to the magical mountains of Meteora with a knowledgeable and wonderfully kind tour guide by the name of Clement.
Thank you 🙂

Excellent tour of multiple monasteries- well organized, and the train trip was a bit long but a good experience. Local travel company knows their town best - booking with Meteora... read more Thrones is the way to go. Katya (?) was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. Very enthusiastic.
