Very pleasant and helpful - Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and services of the agency. Jim and Kate did a fantastic tour with a lot of information and jokes to introduce us to the region, and there were plenty of time for your own and photos. The journey and accommodation were also good and they helped us call a taxi/ retrieve our lost item left at the hotel.

Great guide! - Vassily was a terrific guide! He knew his history, took photos of us for us, answered other questions we had, and had a great sense of humor!

Incredible, you should go! Don’t just do one day - Incredible! We took the 2-day trip and highly encourage it. Doing the sunset tour the first day is fantastic, and the second day we did the hiking tour - seeing unique sights from different spots. Both days our guides were a key part of the experience - lots of knowledge of history, geology, and ecology of the area. Shout out Evan for the hike! Unfortunately don't know how to spell our sunset guide's name. Overnight to enjoy 2 tours was great - staying in Kastraki was cute, we had a fantastic dinner at a restaurant recommended by our guide on the first day, and shopping in Kalambaka was so much fun after the hiking tour. The bus rides were smooth and I highly suggest getting to the bus early to sit in the front to get gorgeous views of the Greek countryside. Overall couldn't recommend Meteora or this tour more - it'll be a highlight of your trip! Also customer service is fantastic. They’re responsive and extremely open to help and accommodate any issues you might face.

We did a sunset tour of some monasteries day 1 and a morning tour of the rest of the monasteries day 2. - Meteora is an amazing experience and honestly Visit Meteora travel is the only people I would book with. Everything went smoothly and the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Honestly one of our best experiences while in Greece! Thank you Visit Meteora!

Magnificent - Magnificent awe-inspiring views. Outstanding knowledgeable tour guide the 1st day. We got to see even more wondrous views the 2nd day because it was raining and the mountain formations were more ethereal in the clouds. However, the talk by the guide the 2nd day was almost exactly the same as the first day.

Bus without air conditioning - We starts the trip from Athens train station in a very clean bus , comfortable without music or movies ; appropriate for sleeping or each one enjoy whatever they want in the trip . They were always on time . Our guides in Meteora Katherina ( sunset tour) add Evan ( walking tour ) were more than wonderfull . Very well prepared , kind and fun . We learned a lot from them . Great experience in Mereora thanks to them . The hell was coming back from Meteora to Athens in a bus without air conditioning in one of the warmest days in Greece hearing Greek music for 5 hours . Totally disrespectful for all turists treated very poorly by the bus company which I am not sure are directly managed by Visit Meteora but made all the experience very poor at the end .

Disappointing tour, require more organization and communication - We were disappointed with this tour. It lacked a lot of communication and information. We were not aware we would be left +4-5 hours on our own at the hotel, each day. The hotel was not close to the center and quite a walk. The itinerary was as such: Day 1 - we went to Larissa station for bus pickup. We were dropped at the hotel in Meteora around 12:00 and were told to be at the lobby at 4pm for the sunset tour. So we were basically left on our own for this duration. We were not aware of this prior to booking the tour. The sunset tour was okay, but I was slightly disappointed with the experience. The next day, we opted for the mini-tour bus. The pickup was at 8:30 and finished at 13:00. We were then left on our own until 17:30, for the bus pickup to go back to Athens. Having known all this and considering the tour cost, we would not have taken the 2 day tour. However, Meteora is beautiful and a must visit, but this tour was not worth the price paid.
