Come to Meteora - Take this tour - This was an outstanding tour. If you are thinking about a visit to Meteora, get to town in time to take this tour. It gives you the lay of the land for all the Monasteries and the region. More than that, it gives you insight into the lives of the monks and the political environment which led to them coming to the region and eventually building the monasteries. Our tour included a trip to a local church build on the remains of a temple to Apollo. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided insights into the meaning of the iconography. He was also fun and entertaining. We followed this tour up the following day with the hiking tour. This ended up being a perfect complement to this tour. We made out own way to Meteora then signed for this tour on our own. If I were to do it again, I would speak to Visit Meteora and arrange transfers through them.

Meteora Sunset Tour - We had an incredible tour with Evan this afternoon. The weather wasn’t perfect for watching the sunset but Evan gave us a few other choices that were even better. We walked up an enormous hill to see a beautiful little Greek Orthodox church then hiked around the hill to see some Hermit caves. Evan was a wealth of information about the history of Meteora as well as the customs of the locals.
This trip was one of the best I’ve been on and I highly recommend it.

A Monastic Sunset that will delight. - A beautiful sprinter van timely picked us up from our hotel and drove us to see the best sites of Meteora.
Van is air conditioned, heated and was stocked with cold bottled water. Prepare yourself for 15 minutes of steps each way and for some of the best sites.
Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and had great stories to share from his local childhood there.
Some people packed a little wine and a blanket for the 30 minute sunset viewing.

Much more than just photos! - Very communicative tour company on meeting times. Arrived as expected.
Tour guide, Katarina, was pleasant, funny and tremendously knowledgeable.
If we hadn’t taken this tour, we would have missed visiting and learning of the Byzantine church and the hermit cave.
We ended up learning so much more and the other people on the tour were a lot of fun as well.

SPECTACULAR - SPECTACULAR! I would do it again in a heartbeat. It's like a timeless movie that you want to go back and see many more times because you feel like there's something you missed, or something new to learn every time. Our guide (Vasilli) was extremely informative and knowledgeable. Amazing experience for the whole family!

Great time on Meteora - We loved our tour - our guide Apostolos was very knowledgable and most importantly funny. It was great to be part of a smaller group and we had many opportunities to stop and take pictures. We had a great weather during the day, and even though it was a bit cloudy for the sunset, it was still gorgeous and worth the trip. We enjoyed our tour and will do it again next year.

Great experience - I had a fantastic experience on the tour of the Meteora monasteries. The team, both the guide and the driver, were extremely friendly and always willing to help us take photos. The information shared during the trip was truly fascinating. Even though we could only enter one of the monasteries and the church, the stops were well-selected and provided a comprehensive experience. The guide delivered all the explanations in English, which I could understand well. However, the tour was advertised as being in Spanish, and this meant using an audio guide that offered limited information about certain spots. This was quite far from the rich and detailed explanations provided by the guide

BEAUTIFUL EXCURSION - We enjoyed the excursion with beautiful scenery as we saw things we would not have seen for ourselves. Too bad the Guide who was very kind did not speak French because so we did not understand his explanations

Excellent Sunset Tour - Our tour host Katerina and the bus driver were second to none. Katerina had such a vast knowledge of the monasteries, hermit caves and Byzantine Church. She engaged so well with all of us and could answer everyone’s questions. Her wealth of information was impressive. I can highly recommend her and would like to thank her for such an enjoyable sunset tour.
