PRIVATE : Full Day Meteora Tour from Kalabaka or Kastraki

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!

my family and i took the afternoon tour and enjoyed it very much. the guide was excellent, very informative, friendly and kind. we go to see the area and go... read more into one Monastery and an old church. the sunset was amazing! views are beutiful. the pickup was exactly on time, the bus was cosy and even had wifi (!!) the tour ended quite late so that should be taken into account. this is a really great way to see the magically meteora!

I did the 4 hour tour after arriving by train the day before. I don't usually (ever!) do tours but this was very well priced and I thought a convenient... read more way to get around the monasteries. The day I arrived I hiked up to the nearest two from Kalambaka and in theory you can visit them all yourself, as long as you set off early enough but I'm so glad I did this. I'm pretty fit and getting up the steps to each monastery was quite tough and would have been too much with walking to them all as well. Plus the guide gave a great talk about the monasteries, history and area was passionate about his home town. Both driver and guide were very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend.

The trip is well organized and easy to book. The guide and the rest of the team are very nice and knowledgeable. They have interesting stories to tell about the... read more area. The trip to and from Kalabaka to Athens is quite long and tiring but the sight and experience that you'll see in Meteora are worth the trip and the money!

Great tour guide person - Knowledgeable tour guide person. Visited 1 monastery out of 2 inside and 5 out of 6 in total outside

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. Our guide explained everything in detail while we were on the bus, the views were totally amazing and the monasteries were also beautiful.

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 4 hour train ride from Athens is so worth this trip to the majestic monasteries of Matetora. They pick you up at the train station and the tour is... read more fantastic and well worth the money. Our guide was lovely and knowledgeable.

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.

Awesome! - We booked the tour to Meteora online after reading the good comments available and I most say that my companion and me have been extremely pleased with our choice. The... read more whole tour was very well organized: good schedule with enough time for visiting and sightseeing, good itinerary, good and comprehensive information provided by Clement, the speaker who showed great knowledge of greek history and religion when answering participants' questions. In few words, it was a highly commendable tour!

TOP QUALITY tour! Guide was very knowledgeable, personable, funny! Van was extremely comfortable! Could not have asked for a better tour! Perfect way to visit the Meteora monasteries!

Wonderful experience. The drivers and guides were very friendly and welcoming. The guides were very well-informed about the area and the monasteries. My favourite tour guide was Chrysa.... read more She has a great personality. She had everyone on the tour bus smiling and laughing with her good nature and robust humour.
I'm looking forward to my next trip to Meteora with Meteora Thrones.

That was a great tour, our guide Ioannis was very knowledgeable and nice, I learned a lot! I would do this tour on the first day as you drive around... read more the whole Meteora and gives a nice sense of what you can do afterwards (walking or by car)

The team were super great! We had a lovely tour and our guide was so knowledgable, going to extra effort to highlight some of his favourite interests on the tour.... read more Wonderful team would do again!

This has to be the best way to do a guided tour of Meteora. My wife and I are traveling the world and don’t do a lot of touristy group... read more activities but we only had a few days in Athens and Meteora Thrones made the experience very easy. Everything is booked for you and went according to the description. It’s a long train ride from Athens and that train is packed, no wifi and little service, so be sure to prepare for that. We were greeted by our guide at the train station and she was amazing. Personable, energetic and very knowledgeable. Please tip your guide if you have good service, we were the only people in our group to tip. As a rock climber, I’ve wanted to see Meteora for years and the views were better than the anticipation. We’re in our 30’s and active so we thought the walk/stair climbing was easy but some monasteries may be difficult for people with conditioning issues. Reviews said the monasteries accept credit card, but not really, we only entered 2/3 due to this so bring cash. One monastery let us pay by card in the souvenir shop. Unfortunately we missed Great Meteoron on a Friday due to a holiday prep, it’s usually open every day but Tuesday. If there are particular monasteries you want to see, check their schedule. IMO, each monastery has a different view and experience, worth going to each one. If you’re going to Meteora with a tour guide company, go with Meteora Thrones, they make the full day trip from Athens as easy and stress free as it could be. We left our apartment in Athens at 7 am and got home 11 pm. Sometimes the trains run late but best to be there 15 mins early.

I got this tour for my friend and I. It was a gift to her. We both loved it. Very well organised, the guide was great and funny. I recommend... read more it 100%! Go for it! We visited 3 monasteries and learned a lot about the history, the monasteries and how did these cliffs even happen to be there. Thank you so much!

The whole tour was amazing.
We learned a lot about the monasteries and their history. The guide was really nice and available.
We could visit a monastery and the Byzantine... read more church, afterwards we went to see an absolutely beautiful sunset at the top of the rocks.
Would recommend it and do it again !!

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!!!
