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.

We went in April when the temperature was still cool. Summer would make all the walking a little more difficult. Spending time with Chris was like spending time with a... read more friend. He patiently shared with us the history and details of Meteora and its monasteries. Clearly Chris loves his job and every knows him. Our friends who have been to Meteora complimented us on the pictures that my wife shared on Facebook. Chris is an excellent photographer (very important to my wife) and knows all of the places. I highly recommend Chris and this tour. Book early so you can reserve 1st class train tickets since these seats are limited.

Perfect Tour with an Exceptional Guide - This tour was everything I expected and my tour guide (Tomas?) was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Great overview of Meteora - The hotel pickup was very convenient and the tour guide was professional and knowledgeable. We got driven to a bunch of monasteries and given 30 min - 1hr to go... read more inside on our own. Personally I like this as I'd rather explore the monasteries on our own. The tour guide gave historical info on the drives between the monasteries. Definitely recommend if you want a semi guided tour and easy transport.

Guide Clement and driver Elias made the tour visits in good timing and enjoyable. Glad to learn more about the monasteries and soaked in the magnificent landscape.

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.

Astounding Meteora - Outstanding tour- highly recommend! Thomas is a wonderful guide (tip him well!!), so helpful and friendly. He made the experience over the top!

Taking the trip to Meteora with Meteora Thrones was an excellent choice.
They booked train tickets (nice experience for my 14-year old twins!) and took us on a very interesting... read more tour in Meterora's monasteries. The information provided by our Guide (Mrs Ria) was detailed but interesting and amusing. She provided information not only on the Monasteries but on the geological history and the greated Meteora area as well.
A trip worth taking!

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.
