Authentic Hiking Meteora Tour

Meteora is Amazing - Thomas (Day 1) and Tasos (Day 2) were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. They also gave good recommendations on where to eat. The place was spectacular.... read more Only downside is the train ride from and to Athens which takes 5 hours each way.

Perfect Tour with an Exceptional Guide - This tour was everything I expected and my tour guide (Tomas?) was very friendly and knowledgeable.

I made an error and booked for the wrong date and did not... read more realize it until I was on the train, A quick email communication immediately resolved the issue and they added me to the tour for that day. Changed a catastrophic situation into a very pleasant experience.

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.

Easy to find, well organised (even if last minute), we didn't have to think about anything, the guide was very nice!

Meteora trip Oct 24 - The train was not in service, arrangement was made to transfer from Athens to Kalabaka.

The scenic view was magnificent.
Certainly worths the 4-5 hours journey to Kalabaka.
Strongly recommend to join the guided tour if you are planning a trip to Greece

Dimitri and bis driver were excellent à lot of history and great afternoon !!!! To do absolutely excellent service as well and visitons 3 monastères was just perfect

A must do, especially when short on time in Meteora. - We had a wonderful time with Meteora Thrones. We traveled as a family and know that tours with children can add extra stressors to guides and other participants. There was... read more never a moment that we felt any sort of way about traveling as a family with young kids, and in fact we’re treated so kindly. Our guide and driver were very sweet and informative and kept us posted every step of the way. I am very glad we went with this tour being that we only had one night in the area. We were able to see everything we sought out to see.

George, a perfect guide, was extremely informative, interesting, patient and easy to understand.
The bus arrived on time and was very clean and comfortable.
I would highly recommend this wonderful... read more tour.

We were a group with 2 children and we were concerned the tour could be boring for them, but the guide went all out to attract their attention with with... read more curious facts about the monks' life in the past. The presentation was very informative and the mini-bus was comfortable and air-conditioned which helps a lot after going up and down the steps to the monasteries on a hot July day. We greatly appreciated the tips about the best photos spots.

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.

Amazing tour. Would highly recommend this to anyone. Young and old. Convenient hotel pick up. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made our experience even better.

Well organized and tour guide was awesome  - Definitely enjoyed the tour. Transportation was well arranged and the tour guide was awesome. Even it was a long day, but I definitely enjoy every part of the tour.

Christos was a wonderful guide, really engaging, and full of knowledge and stories. Even my teenage kids were enthralled by the many anecdotes and insight into the places we visited.... read more
Nothing to add to how breathtaking Meteora is, the photos do not do it justice and the other reviewers write far better than I.
But I will add another reason to take this tour is that you will visit some monasteries out of the beaten path. If we had just driven ourselves we would probably have stuck to the big ones
