This private tour was amazing! Our private driver in meteora was Sakis. He was full of life and stories of the history of the area. He was born and... read more raised there and it was evident he loves this region! Unfortunately we did not get to experience the train ride as our booking was on Greece, Labor Day and the trains were not running. The tour company arranged travel on a private bus for all the guests that day. I recommend scheduling on a day when the trains are running - as I think the experience is like better on the train.
We would highly recommend this tour!

Meteora Tour - Excellent Tour Guide; fluent in English and gave a very good narrative of each monastry and history.

Excellent and motivated guide with a lot of background knowledge over the area. On the tour you had enough time at every stop and didn't feel hurried. Also the driver... read more Christos took part in helping and answering our questions and didn't just sit behind the feel when we had stopped at different sites. Size of the group was compact so we didn't have to wait for fifty people at every stop. All in all really a tour to be remembered the rest of our lives!

Dimitrios was an amazing guide! We had such a great experience. The monasteries are beyond words and truly worth the trip. We were worried about the long... read more train ride but it ended up being really fine, and my kids met some new friends along the way. We had time for a sit down meal before heading back, and lots of flexibility during the tour. If you have a chance to see the Byzantine church in town, definitely ask Dimitrios for it!

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.

Amazing views and interesting explanations! - After 5 hours on the train (it was delayed more than an hour for both Athens-Kalambaka and Kalambaka-Athens), our expectations of Meteora weren't high, but the whole tour was totally... read more amazing.

First time visiting Meteora not sure what to expect, but in the end had a most wonderful fantastic experience from start to finish, was well looked after by an excellent... read more tour and tour guide, she was lovely and keen to help and answer any questions. Sampled lovely local food at a cafe recommended by the tour group and guides. Seemed popular tour group as had a few mini buses running same time that day well air conditioned as it was very hot outside 35C. I highly recommend this tour group, will recommend to friends and family who wish to visit Meteora. 10 out of 10. Thank You.

Breathtaking views train to train Meteora tour with phantastic guide - Train to Train trip to Meteora on 20 April 2023 was a wonderful experience. Especially we liked our guide Clement who was facing the group when telling very interesting things... read more about Meteora. Although we had only about 3 hours time to explore Meteora, we did not feel any rush and had enough time to experience beathtaking views of Meteora and to make wonderful photos. Thanks a lot, Clement! We were deeply impressed by your knowledge and the very clear English language for us as non native English speakers.

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.

Meteora visit - Absolute stunning views and totally worth the long day of getting there and back to Athens. A bit disappointed we couldn’t take the train (there was flooding and route was... read more impassable). However, I was impressed that you arranged buses as an alternative. I would have been so disappointed to not have been able to see this area of Kalabaka and the historical monasteries. The tour guide was so helpful and informative. The beauty of the rocks and area is indescribable. A definite must see. Thank you for putting together such an awesome adventure.
