Great overview of Meteora - The hotel pickup was very convenient and the tour guide was professional and knowledgeable.

The tour guide gave historical info on the drives between the monasteries. Definitely recommend if you want a semi guided tour and easy transport.

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.
