He was very... read more attentive and even made sure we had water during the visit. We were able to visit 4 of the 6 monasteries and at the end of the day made a good recommendation for lunch.

This was a great tour, I liked it so much I went ahead and booked their half day Monasteries tour for the next day. The sunset tour was my favorite... read more of the two because we got to go see a Monastery, an old church, the hermit caves, and the sunset from sunset rock. It really is spectacular to see the sunset behind the rocks. They picked up and dropped off at my hotel which was really convenient.

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.

Excellent Guide Clement and Wonderful Tour - Meteora Thrones was truly a gem. Starting from communicating with George from the beginning and till the day of the tour. The driver was fantastic, very patient and... read more great driving skills. Our guide Mr. Clement make us felt so at home with his perfect English, knowledge of the history for Meteora, make us loved the place even more. He was very professional, patience and good sense of humor. A tour without a good guide is nothing. It all comes down to having one awesome tour guide. Thank you George for giving us Clement and it make sense because we are from Canada.

Local travel agent was excellent going beyond what was expected to make sure I finally joined my tour after a harrowing experience getting to my destination. I could not... read more access my train tickets on the email sent to me by TripAdvisor so I had to buy my own tickets which got me to the destination 90 minutes after my tour started. Thank you to Chris at the local travel agency in Kalambaka who drove me up the mountain to join my tour so I only missed one monastery. Tour was excellent, great explanations of this unique area.

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.

What makes a tour good or bad is the tour guide. Therisa was excellent! She is knowledgeable, friendly, very personable and funny. It definitely was worth the four hour... read more train ride to Kalambaka!

Great tour! - Clement was our guide, and he was absolutely wonderful! I think the driver deserves some mention here too, because WOW! I wouldn't want to drive a bus in that area!... read more He did an excellent job!
Meteora was amazing. The monasteries are absolutely beautiful and so full of history. Everyone should take this tour at least once!
Clement was very knowledgeable and helpful. We learned so much about the monasteries, the area around, and some of the local legend. Highly recommend!

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.

We had a private tour of one of the monasteries which was very interesting and then had a time for a great lunch with a wonderful view without any tourists before taking our train back to Athenes the same day.
