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.

Really nice and friendly guides - They were really nice. Even if we did not pay the Spanish tour, as we were Spanish, they explained everything in Spanish.
The transportation is comfortable and you have plenty... read more of time to visit everything, with nice explanation from the guide and nice spots to admire the mountains.
As a kind of drawback, they do not enter with you to the monasteries to explain from inside. They let you to enter on your own to visit it, with a prior explanation of everything. Although it was a good explanation with plenty detail, someone might prefer them to enter with you. As for me, I liked it because like that you can spend time on those places you liked the most and the visit is not so

Best of Meteroa In A Day! - I loved this day trip. It was easy to book, the instructions were clear on taking the train from Athens to Meteora, and upon arrival we were greeted by our... read more friendly and knowledgable tour guide Elaina. Meteora is otherworldly, and this day-trip meant that I could fit it into my few days in Athens, with time to spare in the late afternoon to explore the nearby town of Kalambaka!

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.

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

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.

I highly recommend visiting the area at least once and joining these tours.
