Outstanding! - We have booked a sunset tour around Meteora quite last minute. Communication was good and clear. Everything went on time. Our tour guide Maria was excellent! She made it super interesting and interactive. We were surprised how competent, confident and knowledgeable she was! You can tell how much she is enjoying her job which made such a positive impact on a tour. Thank you so much! A trip we will never forget!

Beautiful tour with very informative and fun guides - This tour was perfect, I booked this tour last minute with my mother and we are both so glad we did. Our tour guide clemet was a great guide with plenty of information on the monasteries and sites around. He and our tour driver really made this tour stand out and we went on to book the morning tour the following day. Thank you guys for making our visit so memorable. Looking forward to visiting again, I highly recommend this tour group.

Fantastic, informative, friendly and professional tours. - We went on two Absolutely fantastic tours with this company on our three days in Kalambaka/Meteora. We did the sunset tour on our first day and then the morning tour. These two tours covered all monasteries. We went into four in total, one on the sunset tour and three on the morning tour. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable about the monasteries, history and the area and geography. Very professional and friendly. Coaches on both days were modern, comfortable and lovely air conditioned. There is not much climbing or walking on the sunset tour as you only visit inside one monastery, and if your tour is in the six days St Stephens is open, they visit the one, which is the easiest to visit with just s bridge going across at car park level. Would highly recommend this company for anyone wanting to visit and learn about the monasteries, caves, churches and area.

Amazing experience and sights! - The tour leader was knowledgeable about the place and the tour was as advertised. We were advised that they will collect us from the location we agreed and the time was in point. The tour was around 4 hours long with many stops for sightseeing and picture opportunities. Visited one monastery from the inside, which was enough. We had an amazing time! Thank you!

Beautiful views and lots of information - Very nice tour that takes you to the most beautiful spots in Meteora. We knew beforehand which monastry we would visit on this tour and visited two other monasteries on our own in the morning. Our guide, Yanis, gave us a lot of interesting information about the geology, history, architecture etc of the surroundings and the monasteries. The views on Sunset Rock were simply amazing. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Fun tour - During our tour of Greece we had Meteora planned. Because we only stayed one night on site, we wanted to see maximum. From there we booked this tour. The bus will take you to many places where you can take pictures. You visit 1 monastery inside, the other them you on the outside. Keep in mind that men should wear shorts below the knee... if not, you can of course buy paper pants. But it's random. One gets in with knee-length shorts, the other doesn't. Ladies must also wear skirts or dresses. There were girls in pants who had to take a wilkelskirt on the spot to take around their waist. The tour itself is very nice (more than 4 hours) A half-hour break is provided. (Drink pee break) There is a lot of explanation. A fantastic ending is of course the moment of the sunset on a rock! You will be picked up at your hotel itself. Great!

Fantastic - It was fantastic by all means. Our guide Stacy was very kind and gave us a lot of information on Meteoras and Greece in general. For about half an hour it was raining but the organization was so flexible, so during that time we went to a church and later on when it stopped we could even catch the breathtaking view from the sunset rock. Highly recommend.

Worth to experience! - The trip was as descriped. However, we thought that the monastery visit includes a guided tour. That was not the case, so in that way we were a bit disapointed. Otherwise the trip was excellent, the guide was very good, we saw all what promised, the driver was good and the "guest team" was terrific! I recommend this trip!

Sunset Tour at Meteora - We took the Sunset tour and were satisfied with our experience. The guide and driver were very courteous. The guide presented information about the history of the monasteries plus past and current history of Meteora and the surrounding region. We had a certain timeline to go inside the one monastery we visited. A note that the guide does not accompany the group inside the monastery and other stops during the tour. Overall we would recommend this tour.
