PRIVATE: 1 day Meteora Tour from Athens by Mini Bus

Amiable , Knowledgeable Guides - The driver and guide were friendly, knowledgeable and genuine during our small, private tour. They seamlessly adjusted our tour to fit our specific interests. They were conversational while sharing historical... read more facts and cultural anecdotes.

Recommend fully ! Very professional, knowledgeable and polite guide. Comfortable and clean bus. We had a fabulous day touring ,with Meteora Tbrones .

We did the sunset tour and morning tour. All staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and stopped at some good places for pictures. They seemed to take pride in where they lived... read more as well, which I think made them such great guides. I did get inured on one of my tours and they did not have a first aid kit, so my only recommendation is they have a fully stocked one since there is the possibility of getting injured (very slim and I am sometimes a klutz, but you are touring older areas with steep inclines and declines, etc, which means it could happen). They did offer to stop by the pharmacy but that would have cut into everyone's tour time. I highly recommend them and would do it again.

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.

Awesome experience - Great time and an even greater tour guide! We really enjoyed this experience and would do it again..

Wonderful tour - It was a wonderful experience! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We stopped at 3 monasteries and stopped at all the great picture locations. Meteora was an amazing... read more place. We are so happy to have taken this tour.
Even though a major train accident occured in Greece about 2 weeks ago, they provided us with a great tour. All the trains were cancelled in the country, but they still chartered a luxurious bus to Kalabaka. They communicated about the transfer change very smoothly.
We highly recommend this tour!!!

The trip is well organized and easy to book. The guide and the rest of the team are very nice and knowledgeable. They have interesting stories to tell about the... read more area. The trip to and from Kalabaka to Athens is quite long and tiring but the sight and experience that you'll see in Meteora are worth the trip and the money!

Visit to Meteora - Excellent trip. The guide was extremely competent and well informed. The bad part of the trip was the bus. Spending 10hours in one day inside a bus, with very narrow... read more seats is EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Apparently this seems being the same situation in all tourist companies.
The food was expensive and pretty basic. Discovering that the food was not included in the visit was not very nice. It is these kind of situation were you read the conditions of a trip and when you are offer a promotion with special price, you assume that this was included and it is not.

Very well organised tour and on time at the sunset rock!!
Giannis is very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail!

Very informative tour! You would be missing out visiting this site without learning some of the history. Our guide Thomas was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw quite a bit,... read more including some extra things like the hermit caves I would have missed otherwise. We didn’t get a sunset because it was cloudy, but the views are still magnificent. It really is amazing how much history there is at meteora and surrounding area.

Must do tour of Meteora!! - Absolutely amazing tour of Meteora and the monasteries. Our tour guide’s passion for the area and knowledge of the Orthodox faith came through and made this tour incredibly enjoyable. We... read more learned about the creation of the area from a geological perspective and then from the first monks to the area. Unfortunately forgot the tour guide’s name - he moved to Kalambaka from Canada.

Plenty of stops at locations to take spectacular photos and to visit three monasteries (including museums where monks display important relics).

Be prepared for lots of stairs 🙂

An unforgetable tour - There was no train so the trip from Athens to Meteora and back was by bus. I must recommend this tour because it is very interesting, the visit included three... read more monasteries and is amazing how those monasteries were built so many years ago. The views are excellent, specially for those fans of photography. It is a tour that you cann´t miss.

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.

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. Highly recommended!

We would very hard recommend this trip : very well and very professional organized (timing, pick-up hotel, pre-warning, ...), and also Georgos (our guide on... read more the bus) did a great job.
No worries about parking, choose the right monastery, etc.....

Meteora Thrones takes good care of their customers. We were guided by Chrysa, an effervescent, knowledgeable, engaging young woman and a great story-teller. The tour was everything I hoped for.... read more I learned a lot. I only wish we had more time at each monastery. Thank you for a great experience!

Meteora Tour - Excellent Tour Guide; fluent in English and gave a very good narrative of each monastry and history.

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
