Great Day Trip - Excellent tour from Meteora Thrones. Chris was an amazing guide and he dropped us at a local spot for an amazing lunch. Train was cancelled due to track issues and the tour agency worked swiftly to find transport for us that fit our needs. I would highly suggest this tour. It is very unique, with the monasteries sitting high above on huge rock formations. You won’t see this in many places.

Heavenly Monasteries in the Sky - Meteora - Christos was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable of the monasteries and the surrounding area. In our 4 hour window we were able to visit 3 of the 6 monasteries, more than enough, the rest we were satisfied with just seeing from viewpoints which Christos knew the best places for optimal viewing. Be prepared for the number of steps to visit, our first had 300 each way, 2nd had 200 each way, and last had 165 each way. The other most popular one closed on Mondays would have had significantly more. We were exhausted after the steps and the heat of the day, reaching 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Perhaps Sept would be a better time to visit according to Christos. Our private tour was so much better than the large tour buses, and we had much more info and I think we got to see more than if we had been on a large motor coach. I also suggest that if you want to do this tour from a cruise ship, consider doing from one of the ports closer to the area. We were only going to be in Athens this time visiting, our trip was 5 hours each way from Athens by train and bus, with 4 hours to visit the monasteries and surrounding UNESCO site.

Magical Meteora with Meteora Thrones - It was a wonderful private tour, well planned and efficiently executed. Maria was a storehouse of interesting information. We were taken to the 3 important monasteries and covered everything we wanted to see, in the limited time available. Thank you Maria and Nick and all the best. Highly recommended.

SOOO Worth It! - This was a day I will remember all my life! While it was a five hour bus ride each way, the marvel and beauty of the monasteries was worth it. The sheer feat of architecture was breathtaking and the natural rock formations unparalleled. This is a must see when traveling to Greece. To miss this is like going to Arizona and not seeing the Grand Canyon!!!

Beautiful but long! - Great place but it is done in one day instead of 2.... In 2 days it was redundant and we had a lot of expectations... otherwise I recommend but in one day!
