We were unfortunate to find a foggy day but it was compensated by Clemont - best tour guide. He was very warm and professional. He explained the history of the... read more place and provided detail about each and every monastery. I would recommend everyone to meet Clemont once when they are in Meteora.

I did the 4 hour tour after arriving by train the day before. I don't usually (ever!) do tours but this was very well priced and I thought a convenient... read more way to get around the monasteries. The day I arrived I hiked up to the nearest two from Kalambaka and in theory you can visit them all yourself, as long as you set off early enough but I'm so glad I did this. I'm pretty fit and getting up the steps to each monastery was quite tough and would have been too much with walking to them all as well. Plus the guide gave a great talk about the monasteries, history and area was passionate about his home town. Both driver and guide were very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend.

We booked this trip at the last minute and could not have been happier. Arrangements were made for our transportation to and from Athens via the train. Be aware that... read more one-way train ride is four hours so it’s a minimum of eight hours on the train. We were met at the Kalabaca train station by our driver and our guide and had our private vehicle for the afternoon to visit the area. We were able to have a guided tour in one of the monasteries and then also able to visit two other monasteries of the six that are in the area. Our driver and guide Took us to beautiful Vistapoint to take pictures and were sure to allow us time to grab a snack before we board the train at 6:22 PM. It was a long day however really worth it if you’d like to see this area of Greece is well worth the time.

Excellent Guide Clement and Wonderful Tour - Meteora Thrones was truly a gem. Starting from communicating with George from the beginning and till the day of the tour. The driver was fantastic, very patient and... read more great driving skills. Our guide Mr. Clement make us felt so at home with his perfect English, knowledge of the history for Meteora, make us loved the place even more. He was very professional, patience and good sense of humor. A tour without a good guide is nothing. It all comes down to having one awesome tour guide. Thank you George for giving us Clement and it make sense because we are from Canada.

I joined a half-day private tour, a sunset tour, and a 5-hour day tour. The tours were very well organized.

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.

Excellent and motivated guide with a lot of background knowledge over the area. On the tour you had enough time at every stop and didn't feel hurried. Also the driver... read more Christos took part in helping and answering our questions and didn't just sit behind the feel when we had stopped at different sites. Size of the group was compact so we didn't have to wait for fifty people at every stop. All in all really a tour to be remembered the rest of our lives!
