This was a private tour and was well worth it! Both our driver and tour guide have been exceptional, friendly yet professional!
Our tour guide, Charis, was very... read more knowledgeable about the history of the monasteries and other attractions in the area of Meteora that we visited and he literally answered any question that he had, a lot of times backing his responses with references to official historic and recent research data.
That was probably on of the best experiences overall we had from a guided tour that lasted a bit over 5 hours. Thank you Charis, Sakis and Meteora Thrones!

Our tour to Meteora was amazing. I think it was the place I enjoyed the most in Greece land. some weeks ago I had to change the type of tour... read more for personal reasons and meteora thrones was kind enough to change it pretty immediately and refund me the money of the first one. On the other hand, our guide, Sara, told as a lot of good information and in a dynamic and quite way (not as a radio, if you know what I mean) 😉 she was very sweet and clear. I would definitely recommend this agency and the place to everyone visiting.

This tour is both a visit to exquisite landscapes and a pilgrimage to a holy place. Be prepared to have your breath taken away every few seconds. We are incredibly... read more grateful to have been guided by Christos who brought us on a journey not a tour and really made Meteora come alive for us. We visited the Saint Stephen's Nunnery (the Holy Monastery of Agios Stefanos) and a hidden gem - the byzantine church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary. It is astounding that this precious holy place remains somewhat under the radar and in the shadow of monasteries hovering above. The artwork and frescoes are beautiful and unique and the whole effect of the church is magical. A truly hidden gem and the most spectacular part of a sunset tour of Meteora. Of course, watching a magnificent sunset made for the perfect end to a perfect day.

This tour was the highlight of our visit to Greece, as much as we enjoyed the various islands we visited. I was in awe of Meteora and the monasteries... read more and it is well worth the visit We caught the train from Athens and were picked up at the train station in Kalambaka. Everything was well planned and we had enough time for each monastery visit, as well as stops to take photos from various vantage points. The tour guide (Thomas) was a delightful young man, very enthusiastic and animated and explained the history very well. We also had an excellent driver as it is a feat to navigate the busy roads to get to the monasteries.
