I thought it was just ordinary hiking, but it turned out... read more to be a historical, geographical, biological learning hiking tour.

Great tour! - Clement was our guide, and he was absolutely wonderful! I think the driver deserves some mention here too, because WOW! I wouldn't want to drive a bus in that area!... read more He did an excellent job!
Meteora was amazing. The monasteries are absolutely beautiful and so full of history. Everyone should take this tour at least once!
Clement was very knowledgeable and helpful. We learned so much about the monasteries, the area around, and some of the local legend. Highly recommend!

Amazing views and interesting explanations! - After 5 hours on the train (it was delayed more than an hour for both Athens-Kalambaka and Kalambaka-Athens), our expectations of Meteora weren't high, but the whole tour was totally... read more amazing. Our guide explained everything in detail while we were on the bus, the views were totally amazing and the monasteries were also beautiful.

Unfortunately due to the pandemic, we didn't get to do this tour we had planned for 2020. But George & his team have been fantastic throughout - initially providing a... read more credit voucher then as it became increasingly likely that we wouldn't be able to use that, they provided a full refund! They have been helpful, kind and unfailingly polite in our email correspondence.
If/when we do get back to Greece (from Australia) I will definitely use this company to make my long awaited trip to Meteora! Thank you so much George & all your team.

I joined a half-day private tour, a sunset tour, and a 5-hour day tour. The tours were very well organized. The guides Thomas, Elena and Christos were professional, knowledgeable, and... read more kind. There was so much to learn and the delivery by the tour guides was impeccable. The area was amazing and the tours were well priced and worth the money. The monasteries and the Byzantine church of Virgin Mary are absolutely beautiful and rich in history. I highly recommend visiting the area at least once and joining these tours.

Fantastic, well-paced trip in a comfortable bus, not too crowded and with a fabulous and funny tour guide (Kristia, if I remember well!) who made the experience insightful and entertaining.... read more The train to Kalabaka took a long time and it was a bit tiring, but it was so worth it.

we visited Meteora's monasteries with this tour. Everything was perfect, we were lucky as the 7:20 train from Athens arrived on time in Kalambaka, where the buses were already waiting... read more to take us to the first short stop to get some food before starting the real tour. The guide was very nice and knowledgeable, she provided also some good tips to visit the places as well as plenty of historical information. The time dedicated to each monastery is between 45 and 60 min, hence more than enough to enjoy the visits and to take pictures. The building are true masterpieces, and the panorama and views are unforgettable. For women, remember to bring a long skirt as it is required to enter the monasteries, although some of them may have some spare foulards to be used for the visits. Remember also to bring some water/food as in case of rush the time dedicated to additional stops could be very limited.

We absolutely loved this tour! On our own, we caught the train at the Thessaloniki Railway Station. All tickets and instructions were sent to us the day before so we... read more had plenty of time to prepare for our trip. Train times were given on the tickets. Once in the town of Kalabaka, there was someone waiting for us. Our guide continued to impress us with her knowledge of the past and present of these monasteries. There was plenty of time to see everything we wanted to see. We went inside 3 of the monasteries, which was absolutely incredible, and stop at the other 3 for pictures. Plus we visited a rocky outcropping for a truly breathtaking experience. Then stopped for a bite to eat at the local village before heading back to the train. Well worth the money. I would definitely recommend.

Our guide, Chris, was very experienced, and we got to see the wonders of Meteora from a different view point. The hike was easy and pleasant, and very fun,

Loved this experience! - This was a fantastic day trip! The sights are incredible to see in person and the monasteries are works of art. Lots of steps but worth it!

The driver Christoff picked us up at our Air BnB in Athens and drove us to Meteora. He was very polite and spoke conversational English, which was... read more great because my Greek is terrible. Traffic in Athens was terrible so we arrived later than expected.
In Meteora we met Klement our tour guide. Due to scheduling they did the best to get us into 3 different monasteries. I felt like we were not rushed and had adequate time at each location. Additionally, we made a lot of stops to take photos and sight see. Klement and Christoff provided a lot of information and the children enjoyed the trip. The trip ran longer than planned but it was completely worth it.
At the end of the trip, Klement suggested we eat at a Taberna right near the Meteora Thrones HQ for dinner. It was awesome.
We left kalampaka at 7 pm and headed back to Athens with a different driver. We arrived back at our Air BnB around midnight. It was a very long day, but an excellent trip. The guides were great, we saw everything that we needed to see, and had enough time to enjoy the scenery.
I would highly recommend this trip.
