Amazing experience - Amazing experience. The organization was great since the tickets send by email to the itinerary explanation. Tours and guides were great on the explanations given. The hotel was fine. A little old for a 4 stars but the room had great views of the mountains. I stayed at kalambak but i believe saying at kastraki would have been even better as it is smaller and more beautiful. I truly recommend this trip.

Amazing tour, absolutely recommended! - The tour was excellent! We viewed the monasteries afar and within with awe, observing the devout dedication with which the monks and nuns pursue their faith. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and willing to answer the many questions we had. His insight into the history of the monasteries and geographical phenomena that led to the formation of the rocks, coupled with the story about the Monastery of the Holy Trinity and its connection to an 80s James Bond film truly brought the experience to life. Absolutely recommended!

Excellent Meteora 2 day trip by rail from Athens - Really good 2 day overnight rail trip from Athens! On the first day, as we were the only people on the sunset tour that day, my wife and I had our own "private tour". Bill was our guide/driver and he spoke very knowledgeably about the monasteries and the history of the area. He was patient, considerate and spoke excellent English. He also recommended a restaurant in the town for our evening meal which was really good. The second day, the weather was not so great but again Bill made the tour really interesting and we visited the monasteries which we had not seen on the previous day. The trip ran very smoothly and I would definitely recommend Meteoratrip.com to anyone wishing to see the fabulous landscape and monasteries of Meteora.

Excellent on all counts - Everything was on time and well organized. The Hotel Famissa Kosta we stayed at was excellent with a balcony view of the rocks. Staff was great. The mini vans were comfortable. The sunset tour was magnificent and the morning tour as well. The tour guides and drivers were considerate and full of knowledge and easy to understand. They stopped at many viewpoints for pictures as well as at the Monasteries. The village itself is charming with good places to eat. Overall, even better than expected and expectations were high. The walks into the Monasteries were reasonable for most people but difficult if your mobility is impaired. Lots of stairs, up and downhill. The pace set by the tour guides was perfect. Amazing place and highly recommended.

A great experience and adventure. - Right from the pick up in Athens the trip was well organized.On arrival in Meteroa we were taken to our Hotel given an itinerary which explained pick up times. Our guide Katarina was very knowledgeable on the area and explained everything well. The next day we chose the hike and Katarina was our guide again.We were taken to places and ruins that you don't see on the bus. Thank you for a great 2 days. Will recommend to any friends coming this way.

Excellent hike with Christos from Meteora Trip - Hike on the second day was excellent. Christos from Meteora Trip guided our small group. He was the best guide one can wish for: very nice, attentive, deeply knowledgeable about the history and geology of this place. He did a great job making the group feel at ease. I'd recommend this hike! The other half days was mainly.on the bus and visiting a monastery. It was good too, but the hike was definitely the highlight for me.
