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

This was my third visit to Kalambaka and Meteora, a magical place where I admire the wonder of nature and the perseverance of human will. It was the second time... read more a booked a tour with Meteora Thrones, a very professional agency. The guide, named Sarah, was knowledgeable and accurate, kind and timely, and fluent in Spanish.

The family and I headed up from Athens for a day trip. The train was canceled due to the major train accident, but Meteora Thrones reaccommodated via a coach... read more bus. The bus was a bit cramped, but all in all, we are glad they reaccommodated.

The monasteries were truly spectacular. And our tour guide, Antonio, was absolutely fantastic. He was as kind as could be, and he was so passionate about the history of the monasteries. He was also passionate about the Kalabaki where he lived. He seemingly knew everything there was to know about the area. It was great. We stopped at two monasteries and the hermit caves, all the while learning something new from Antonio and marveling at the architecture. We would recommend Antonio to anyone touring the area.

First time visiting Meteora not sure what to expect, but in the end had a most wonderful fantastic experience from start to finish, was well looked after by an excellent... read more tour and tour guide, she was lovely and keen to help and answer any questions. Sampled lovely local food at a cafe recommended by the tour group and guides. Seemed popular tour group as had a few mini buses running same time that day well air conditioned as it was very hot outside 35C. I highly recommend this tour group, will recommend to friends and family who wish to visit Meteora. 10 out of 10. Thank You.

She... read more liked it when we asked questions. She took nice photos of us too! She’s the best tour guide ever! Our experience with Meteora Thrones is something that we will never forget.

Meteora Thrones as a tour agency for your visit to the magical monasteries is highly recommended. Chris, our tour guide, was a funny big man who has extensive knowledge when... read more it comes to Meteora and Kalabaka/Kalambaka. He did give us a much needed historical significance of the area from where the name arrived along with the circa dates and the legends and stories associated with the rocks. Also, combined with his humor, he informed us about the commercial aspect of the place regarding movie and ad shoots. They waited for us because our train arrived 40 mins late from Athens, but still managed to cover the trip at a good pace giving us ample time to enjoy the views and stops. This place gives a heavenly feel and should be on a must visit list when coming to Athens.
