The must see - It's a must see! The Meteora Monasteries is the most magnificent place I ever seen. There are no cameras that can transfer you the beauty of this place. There are acting churches in the monasteries so I had a chance to leave candles and notes for my beloved ones. We passed amazing views and got plenty of information about them. I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone.

A lovely day at Meteora - This was a really outstanding experience!
We booked this very early not knowing if it could take place because of COVID. The service was excellent from the beginning (very quick answers and assistance) and we were not disappointed ! Our planned trip couldn‘t take place (they didn‘t get the minimum of persons required due to COVID and the lack of tourists) but they offered us an alternative on another day, so we went on a half-private tour in a Mini-Van with 3 other people.
Leonidas, our driver was really gentle and we felt like going on a trip with a good old friend. He has an incredible knowledge and answered every question, and there where many of them ... Even we had a strict time schedule, he made little extra wishes come true, for example extra photo stops. All in all we visited 2 out of 6 monasteries, what is really enough because they all look similiar. We had a really tasty lunch at a local restaurant, too. A wonderful day, we really recommend this! Thank you so much Leonidas and Letsbooktravel!

Exhausting program, but worth it all! - Meteora is definitely worth a visit! The floating monasteries are simply fascinating!
The tour was well organized and you learned a lot of interesting information on the trip. Two convents were visited and the tours were conducted in different languages.
The only downside for us was that our hotel was not in the catchment area and we had to travel independently. The problem with this was that we were ordered to one of the first pick-up points and thus drove around for another 1.5 hours to pick up all guests. We would have preferred to come straight to the ferry.
Otherwise a top event!

A place you must see - The guide knows very well and tell you stories not only about meteora but also along the way.
The trip was good without any issues and Meteora is an amazing place.
The lady doing the english version of the tour inside the monastery was very knowledgeable about everything regarding the buildings, why the paintings are the way they are and etc…
Attention to the dress code in the monastery, at least up to when we bought the trip there was no information in TripAdvisor‘s offer (ask then via chat if they don’t add it).

I wouldn't repeat - We left you in a souvenir shop 30 min where there were no drinks or coffee dwafter starting the tour at 5.30 in the morning.
The food took us all to a restaurant that we had 1 hour to eat. And they could do with a little more disguise to give the guide the commission.
