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.

He even called in a to-go order for us (delicious souvlaki!) to eat on the train ride home. It’s a lot of train time, but well worth it to see this absolutely incredible place.

We went in April when the temperature was still cool. Summer would make all the walking a little more difficult. Spending time with Chris was like spending time with a... read more friend. He patiently shared with us the history and details of Meteora and its monasteries. Clearly Chris loves his job and every knows him. Our friends who have been to Meteora complimented us on the pictures that my wife shared on Facebook. Chris is an excellent photographer (very important to my wife) and knows all of the places. I highly recommend Chris and this tour. Book early so you can reserve 1st class train tickets since these seats are limited.

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.

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.

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.

Many Thanks to Meteora Thrones Agency's services. And especially,I'd like to appreciate guide's service of Ms. Lora. Mainly for: interesting explanations that included a lot of important and relevant information,... read more humor and linking Meteora to lyrics of known popular songs. Additional advice on where to find the post office in Kalambaka was also much appreciated.
