Amazing experience! Team was professional, driver (Kostas) Pro, and guide (Yannis) a local boy who knew a lot about place and share his knowledge with charm and sense of humor.... read more We also saved a lot of time for not caring about driving and looking for a parking spots. Highly recommended.

Meteora Thrones Agency - Worth visiting site with this agency - We (two) went on Meteora tour from Thessaloniki with train and we were picked up by agency at Kalabaka (Meteora city). Tickets were organized by Meteora Thrones agency and sent... read more to me by mail a few days before tour. We took 1st class, what is worth spending if you like to have a reserved seat in comfortable coupe with electrical plugs for PC/mobile. Second class has lower comfort, no reservation and no plugs.
Tour was absolutelly very well organized in time and as well for the guide which said many interesting facts. The van was comfortable, and the points we were let go for exploring were so close to entrances that we did not have to walk many stairs.
The only problem on this tour is getting right information on trainstations, as we had to change train in one town ..... There are no displays showing any info of the forcoming trains; there is no display/sign on the train itself where it is going; there is no large visual sign/display on the trainstation with the name of the station/city; people working at suburban train station do not speak english; infomation of forthcoming stations in train are only in greek; ... all-in-all train service in Greece is a very badly organized disaster!
On opposite, Meteora Thrones Agency worked perfectlly well. Worth taking.

Great day trip from Athens. The tour was well-arranged and provided an excellent experience of the Meteora landscapes and monasteries. Very satisfied.

My grandmother booked a private Meteora tour and was the best choice she could make! Meteora was a breathtaking experience but of course we owe it to our wonderful guide,... read more Mirsini who was absolutely lovely, joyful, knowledgeable about all the history of Meteora and always happy to answer our questions and share stories ! Grandma loved her! Thank you so much Meteora Thrones for this amazing tour! Would definitely recommend!

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.
aenrichprast October 16, 2023
This was amazing! Just everything you wish for its there. You have your own time to explore but still keep the group. The guide I got was really awesome and... read more so clever. If you go to Greece this is a must do experience even the train is a bit too long then its totally worth it.

Beautiful scenery and friendly, knowledgeable guides. Be prepared to walk a few flights of stairs to reach the monasteries!

Amazing tour. Would highly recommend this to anyone. Young and old. Convenient hotel pick up. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made our experience even better.

This trip was a long day but completely worth it! The train was comfortable and travelled through some beautiful scenery and meeting Ria (apologies if this is spelt incorrectly!) at... read more the station was quick and easy! We stopped first in the main square of Kalabaka at a cafe qhich is good for a bathroom break and good snacks / food should you wish but absolutely no pressure to buy. You stop there at the end so good for any purchases for the train back too. There is also a nearby supermarket and many good restaurants which Ria will show you. After this stop then onto the first monastery. Be advised that some monasteries have A LOT of steps / steep slopes to get to them so something to keep in mind. On our trip we visited St Nicholas, Varlaam and the nunnery at St Stephan - All of which are breathtaking....both inside and the views outside. Ria was so knowledgeable and friendly, you were always interested to hear the next pieces of information. It was intriguing to learn how the first monks got to the monasteries, how they built them and especially how they got up / down! Ideally, you would want to spend at least a couple of days in the area to fully explore (I'm sure they'd have a trip for that too!) but if one day is all the time you have then I cannot recommend this trip enough! I would certainly book again.

Ther views were absolutely spectacular. Depending on the Monastatries visisted can have 100 to 300 steps to climb but you can take your time. It is well worth the journey time to see the wonderful area and to view inside the impressive buildings.
