Excellent tour. Well... - Excellent tour. Well organized. On time. Bus drivers and tour guide were very polite, courteous, readily available to help with taking pictures. Sunset tour and half day tour were in a different perspective and view of the landscape. Crudos to our tour guide Jim, very knowledgeable, excellent service and funny, never boring. A very memorable experience, the best tour. Definitely will visit Meteora tour again , in different seasons. Highly recommended. Would prefer to staying longer to enjoy the entire area. Food and service excellent. Efharisto.

Really enjoyed my trip - All very well organised. The guides Ria & Lina were great. I did the morning tour and the sunset tour so got to see all of the monasteries and the hermit caves. The two tours are a little repetitive but I still really enjoyed them. I also had a shared transfer to Delphi but was the only one, so I had a very comfortable trip with driver Erikos who made sure I knew where to catch the public bus to Athens.

A worthwhile journey: nature, organization and learning - 1- Organization buses: All perfect. 2- Hotel establishment: If you like hiking and researching on your own , I recommend that the accommodation is by the kastraki area (I was in that area and I thought it was perfect). 3- Excursions: I personally was the most satisfied excursion with was the trekking trip, because apart from explanations both cultural, historical, flora, fauna... , the guide knew how to enliven the trip.

Amazing Hiking Experience - We had an amazing 3 days doing the Footsteps of the Monks hikes. Highly recommend it. The hiking groups were small and the guides were brilliant, although you best be a fit and active type. Great value and excellent organisation by Visit Meteora.

Wonderful Private Transfer from Meteora to Delphi with Sotos - We had a fantastic experience with Sotos, our driver from Visit Meteora, during our private transfer from Meteora to Delphi. He picked us up right on time, and from the start, the drive was smooth, relaxing, and completely carefree. We made a quick stop at Thermopylae for a bathroom break, and then continued through a stunning mountain route with beautiful scenery. Sotos offered thoughtful commentary along the way, pointing out interesting landmarks and sharing insights into Greek culture, food, industry, sports, and more. The conversation was natural and engaging, and he had a great sense of when to chat and when to let us rest. He was incredibly warm, friendly, and responsive to any questions we had, even pulling over at scenic spots so we could take photos. It felt like more than just a transfer—it was a memorable part of our trip. Highly recommended!

Meteora 3 day - 2 day is lots. 3 rd day was free time which we could have had in Athens. Said they sent a schedule in March which I couldn’t find. Asked for one again and it was not sent to me. Disappointing.

Very professional tour company. Great tour and 2 night stay at Meteora - I cannot recommend this company enough. They were absolutely fantastic !! And we are so glad that we visited Meteora with them. We wanted to spend two nights in Meteora, and visit as many monasteries as we could, and do the hiking tour. All prior communication via email was promptly and patiently answered. And I have to say, I had a lot of questions… After many emails and changes back and forth, they organised a schedule for us that wasn’t a private tour, but a combination of their other tours. Which was much appreciated. We eventually did the sunset tour on day 1, the monasteries tour the next morning, and the hiking tour on the third day. All the guides were very knowledgeable (thanks Vasilli and Christos). The bus transfer from Athens was seamless and very punctual. The return transfer had a bit of mechanical issues, that were quickly resolved. Definately recommended.

Great Hiking - Beautiful hikes and scenery. Visit Meteora was supportive and took care of the details. The hotel and restaurant, Gardenia, was outstanding. They took care of us and we’re very friendly.
