Excellent trip. I tried to find the cheapest way to get to Meteora with my wife, but from the distance from Meteora from Athens it made the most sense booking... read more with this company. Renting a car would have been too much of a hassle as we only planned to visit Meteora and get back and our airbnb based in the center of Athens didn't even have parking therefore car would have been to exhausting of a drive and expense to rent. Especially trip taking 4 to 5 hours driving. Company instructions was very easy to follow and we learned a lot from our guide. I recommend this method and company as the best way to reach Meteora, especially if your only planning to be there for a day.

Had a fantastic time with our tour guide Dimitri. We did the sunset tour the evening before - if you are staying overnight, I highly recommend doing both! I was... read more traveling with my parents who are both in their 60s so I was concerned about the amount of steps to the monasteries but visiting 3 monasteries is very doable. The morning weather is also a lot cooler than in the afternoon, when it gets scorching hot in the summer. Both the sunset and morning tours offer some respite from the heat

We highly recommend this tour!!!

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.
