Recommended especially on Sunday and public holidays - Excursion quite recommended above all you avoid having to look for parking in the different monasteries, we did it on a Sunday and that, literally, was a pilgrimage of cars. The Guide, friendly and correct, although he did not enter the monasteries commented some useful explanations.

Marvellous Meteora - This tour is absolutely worthy of your time. Kalambaka itself is awe-inspiring with views of Meteora from every corner of the town, while Meteora itself is breathtaking! Maria and our driver, took us to three of the active monasteries and before each stop Maria would give us hints and tips on where to go and what not to miss within each monastery. She was very knowledgeable having grown up in the area and it was interesting hearing about the history and the present day of the whole area. The driving was very skilful and I'm glad we chose a tour rather than trying to do it ourselves. Marriage saved, I'd say. Above all they are clearly passionate about their job and have no problem conveying that passion to us.

Good experience! - The tour was a great experience from beginning to end. The tour picked us up at our Air BnB in Kastraki and dropped us off there at the end of the tour. We visited 3 monasteries, and we were given plenty of time to explore each one. Anastasia was a knowledgeable and personable guide. She gave us a history of the monasteries, monastic life and even the geological aspects of the rocks. I would recommend this tour to others.

Easy option for families with the young kids. - 13-14 hour commitment with about 4 hours of travel each way by air conditioned bus. Driver stopped twice each way for break/food/toilet. About 4 hours on a smaller bus once we got into meteora. Saw 3 monasteries and a bunch of pretty sights. Really nice trip and our guide Maria was amazing. Make sure to read the details of the trip before going. Monasteries charge $3 per adult or older kids in cash only, lunch and dinner spots took cards. Wonderful experience if you’re coming from Athens and don’t want to rent a car.

Amazing view, many photos, great guide - Amazing view, many photos, great guide. Me and my wife enjoyed a lot, learned about the sites, history and got to know the sites, the guide was very informative and great to chat with. There are many stairs so I would not recommend in case of difficulty, and not for small and teen children - they get bored.

Not recommended - Maria did great job👏the problem is the bus arrive late. We actually started at 9:20 and finish at 12:40, and three tour does not including visit to hermit cave, we just drive pass by it from far distance, u gotta be honest and remove that on the itinerary. My friend who booked from Meteora Trip (the other travel agency) which is only 16 ppl on the minivan and start on time at 8:45 and finish the trip at 1:00, from I experienced, I would recommend Meteora Trip then Meteora Thrones.
