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. As a former tour guide and a long term professional in field of customer care, I recommend Meteora Thrones to any of the passengers. Jan

A must do, especially when short on time in Meteora. - We had a wonderful time with Meteora Thrones. We traveled as a family and know that tours with children can add extra stressors to guides and other participants. There was... read more never a moment that we felt any sort of way about traveling as a family with young kids, and in fact we’re treated so kindly. Our guide and driver were very sweet and informative and kept us posted every step of the way. I am very glad we went with this tour being that we only had one night in the area. We were able to see everything we sought out to see.

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.

excellent guide, amazing tour. - If you are in Meteora for the first time and if you can afford it - this is definitely the best tour. Antonis made sure to cater for everyone's interests... read more and physical abilituy, which in our case (I was with my 13 year old daughter and my over-75 mother). If I come there for the 2nd time I will now few lifehacks by myself already (how to access some monasteries by going down the hill, not climbing, for exammple), which offer more mystical atmosphere and which can be looked at simply from outside to avoid touristical crowds. Excellent guide, amazing tour.

We did the sunset tour and morning tour. All staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and stopped at some good places for pictures. They seemed to take pride in where they lived... read more as well, which I think made them such great guides. I did get inured on one of my tours and they did not have a first aid kit, so my only recommendation is they have a fully stocked one since there is the possibility of getting injured (very slim and I am sometimes a klutz, but you are touring older areas with steep inclines and declines, etc, which means it could happen). They did offer to stop by the pharmacy but that would have cut into everyone's tour time. I highly recommend them and would do it again.

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.

I joined a half-day private tour, a sunset tour, and a 5-hour day tour. The tours were very well organized. The guides Thomas, Elena and Christos were professional, knowledgeable, and... read more kind. There was so much to learn and the delivery by the tour guides was impeccable. The area was amazing and the tours were well priced and worth the money. The monasteries and the Byzantine church of Virgin Mary are absolutely beautiful and rich in history. I highly recommend visiting the area at least once and joining these tours.

An unforgetable tour - There was no train so the trip from Athens to Meteora and back was by bus. I must recommend this tour because it is very interesting, the visit included three... read more monasteries and is amazing how those monasteries were built so many years ago. The views are excellent, specially for those fans of photography. It is a tour that you cann´t miss.

Highly recommend this tour! Our guide Dimitri was well prepared for our visit of the monasteries as well as the surrounding geologic phenomena known as Meteora. He was well educated... read more in English. Well versed in not only the the monastic tour, at times he slipped into Greek mythology. He provided scientific explanation for us to ponder as to the creation of the mountains so unique to this region! With no doubt this is the Best Tour for your money!!!
