Approximately 3-4 hours total time.

Would recommend this trip to others.

Our guide was excellent. She had terrific history of the the area and history and introduced us to the nuns who (along with the well-known monks) also continue their... read more work in this place. We visited both of the 2 nunneries and were very impressed by the museums on site and their continued work.

Amzing experience with amazing host. Learned a lot of history and saw all the special places/foto stations. Also visited the best monastaries. Everything was 100% on schedule as planned

This was an excellent tour with a great guide and driver. There was plenty of time to see the monasteries and the church.

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.

We were fortunate enough to have a private tour with Chris, as other people had cancelled due to bad weather. The wealth of information he shared with us, more than... read more made up for the lack of sunset!

If you have extra time in Athens, I highly recommend a trip to Meteora and it’s monasteries.

Fantastic Trip - Unfortunately due the the serious flooding in the region we were unable to take the train but the tour company arranged for coach pickup opposite the train station. It... read more was quite a long journey but there was a stop halfway for refreshments etc. Once at Kalambaka we were transferred to a smaller coach to visit the Monastaries. 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.

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!

amazing trip - I'm glad I booked this tour. This can easily be tge highlight of my trip to Greece. Kalambaka is amazing.

This was a private tour and was well worth it! Both our driver and tour guide have been exceptional, friendly yet professional!

Our tour guide, Charis, was very... read more knowledgeable about the history of the monasteries and other attractions in the area of Meteora that we visited and he literally answered any question that he had, a lot of times backing his responses with references to official historic and recent research data.

That was probably on of the best experiences overall we had from a guided tour that lasted a bit over 5 hours. Thank you Charis, Sakis and Meteora Thrones!

This was an excellent tour of the monasteries, with plenty of opportunities for photographs and panoramic views. The driver was extremely friendly and the tour guide was very well informed... read more and a pleasure to listen to. We learned a lot. We recommend this tourist company without any hesitation!

Clement was our tour guide who was excellent and you can tell he loves his job and passionate about sharing his knowledge. I give him 5 stars.

Day 2, because of the storm, the monasteries closed, train tracks and roads closed. The tour company tried to get us back to Athens by bus but because the roads closed, the tour company sent a van to the bus station to pick us up, made arrangements for 1 nt accommodations at their expense. James, the tour company owner, met us at the hotel and made sure we got checked in. Throughout this ordeal, the tour company stayed in close contact with us. We managed to find a different way to return to Athens but this tour company went above and beyond. They cared about us, our well-being and safety and I am very impressed at how they handled the situation.

We booked this trip at the last minute and could not have been happier. Arrangements were made for our transportation to and from Athens via the train. Be aware that... read more one-way train ride is four hours so it’s a minimum of eight hours on the train. We were met at the Kalabaca train station by our driver and our guide and had our private vehicle for the afternoon to visit the area. We were able to have a guided tour in one of the monasteries and then also able to visit two other monasteries of the six that are in the area. Our driver and guide Took us to beautiful Vistapoint to take pictures and were sure to allow us time to grab a snack before we board the train at 6:22 PM. It was a long day however really worth it if you’d like to see this area of Greece is well worth the time.
