Good trip, a fun tour guide on the bus, never felt rushed. I would consider staying one night in Kalambaka as many hours on train back and forth from... read more Athens makes for a very long day, however I think Meteora is worth a visit regardless.

Rhea was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the area, and was very flexible to adjust the tour to our needs. We were four of us so they gave... read more us a van to ourselves. It was a once in a life experience to visit these monastries in the heavens.
We grabbed breafast at the Larissa station before we headed out, had lunch when we got there and there was time to grab a small snack before heading back. We had booked for first class but did not get it, so we had regular coach tickets. We were a bit anxious when we looked at our seat numbers because they were not sequential. Don't worry because of the crazy numbering in the trains, the seats were actually together.
Rhea took us to three main monastries where we spent close to an hour each but also covered many more of the monastries - stopping by on some great picture spots to take some amaing pics. Time just went by so quickly. You do get some time to rest ast some amazing, quiet and meditative spots in the monastries. Lots of steps so travel light and carry cash. Every monastry charges an entrance fee (3euro/person) and they don't take cards.

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.

The driver Christoff picked us up at our Air BnB in Athens and drove us to Meteora. He was very polite and spoke conversational English, which was... read more great because my Greek is terrible. Traffic in Athens was terrible so we arrived later than expected.
In Meteora we met Klement our tour guide. Due to scheduling they did the best to get us into 3 different monasteries. I felt like we were not rushed and had adequate time at each location. Additionally, we made a lot of stops to take photos and sight see. Klement and Christoff provided a lot of information and the children enjoyed the trip. The trip ran longer than planned but it was completely worth it.
At the end of the trip, Klement suggested we eat at a Taberna right near the Meteora Thrones HQ for dinner. It was awesome.
We left kalampaka at 7 pm and headed back to Athens with a different driver. We arrived back at our Air BnB around midnight. It was a very long day, but an excellent trip. The guides were great, we saw everything that we needed to see, and had enough time to enjoy the scenery.
I would highly recommend this trip.

Great visit, excellent customer service - Best customer service they gave us. We reached Kalambaka an hour later than the scheduled tour time due to a mistake in our train booking, confusion with Larissa and Athens... read more Larissa main train station.
They sent their mini bus to pick us up from their office at the foothill and continue to join with the tour.
Both the driver and our tour guide was super friendly, driver made few photo shoot stops for us and bit of guided commentary on the monasteries and guide was very knowledgeable of Meteora's history and geological past.
We would highly recommend Metora Thrones if you are making your vacation plans.
