This private tour was amazing! Our private driver in meteora was Sakis. He was full of life and stories of the history of the area. He was born and... read more raised there and it was evident he loves this region! Unfortunately we did not get to experience the train ride as our booking was on Greece, Labor Day and the trains were not running. The tour company arranged travel on a private bus for all the guests that day. I recommend scheduling on a day when the trains are running - as I think the experience is like better on the train.
We would highly recommend this tour!

Amazing tours and Tour guides - Amazing tour and tour guides.
We went for the sunset tour and the morning hike tour.
Sunset tour:
Tour guide was such an amazing lady! She guided us with... read more such passion and enthusiasm that it made the tour really enjoyable. We had a great time and really enjoyed the tour
Morning Hike Tour:
Chris is an amazing young and knowledgeable tour guide who guided us though the hike. Pace was good and brought us to many amazing spots with many photo opportunities. Really loved the hike and it was honestly the highlight of my trip.
Overall, both tours was amazing and would highly recommend doing both! No regrets.
Thank you very much for the amazing time

It was a fun way to learn about Meteroa and see the highlights in an efficient manner. It was much easier for the bus to take us around and tell... read more us the behind the scenes story rather than researching it and figuring it out on our own.

Really nice and friendly guides - They were really nice. Even if we did not pay the Spanish tour, as we were Spanish, they explained everything in Spanish.
The transportation is comfortable and you have plenty... read more of time to visit everything, with nice explanation from the guide and nice spots to admire the mountains.
As a kind of drawback, they do not enter with you to the monasteries to explain from inside. They let you to enter on your own to visit it, with a prior explanation of everything. Although it was a good explanation with plenty detail, someone might prefer them to enter with you. As for me, I liked it because like that you can spend time on those places you liked the most and the visit is not so

4 Hour Tour to visit 3 of the Monestaries at Meteora and see 3 others from outside.
Yannis (Guide) and Kostas (Driver) made this Tour an amazing experience; knowledge... read more about the Monasteries, the wonderfull Landscapes and where to get the best pictures.
The Participants in the Tour came from different Countries, but Yannis and Kostas made us feel like One Group. An exciting, challenging (physically) and educational Meteora Tour.
Such a Tour with Meteora Thrones we would recommend every one to book!!

Loved this experience! - This was a fantastic day trip! The sights are incredible to see in person and the monasteries are works of art. Lots of steps but worth it!

The Meteora Thrones travel company were a great team. Prompt on schedule, with immaculate timing between monasteries.
Guide Yannis was a cool chap, with a good sense of humour,... read more and a decent array of facts about the area.
Approximately 3-4 hours total time.
Would recommend this trip to others.

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.

With a seven-headed group of friends from Belgium we booked a one-day Meteora visit, including train tickets, bus rides, tour guide, free leisure time, and lots of breathtaking views and... read more opportunities. Tour guide Harry was funny and amusing, bus driver Socrates seemed skilled (and courteous towards us and other road users), and together they managed to get a whole group of tourists wherever they wanted to get them, on time, with even lots of time to spend exploring the monasteries, and extra time for pictures of amazing views of, and on boulder-like formations.
