Beautiful and magical - It was one of the most magical and amazing places I've been to this day. The views were wonderful. The guide Cathetine and the driver were very friendly and helpful. We were easily borrowed from a charger (the photos were many!) and Catherine took us two or three excellent photos.

Don't miss this tour! - It was a breath-taking trip. The scenery, the history, and the real education were amazing. Kudos to Tolis, our guide ( and to Maria, the guide on the tour next to ours ).

Fantastic experience - We spent a day hiking around Meteora on our own, but would have missed out on so much of the depth of the experience if we had not taken the VisitMeteora tour! Dimitrius our guide and Sotos our driver were amazing. They shared the history of each monastery, the hermitages, the details of the towns of Kalambaka and Kastraki, the geological formation of the landscape, the religious and military context of the area, and even great restaurant recommendations. It was fantastic.

Well organized tour - Fantastic tour. Very well organized, informative and entertaining. Given we had only half a day, the tour provided as much fun and adventure as possible. I would most definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

Informative well organised bus tour, excellent guide - We did the afternoon train tour as we were staying in Kalambaka but did not want an early start. As their was some flooding in the area the bus was a little late arriving from Athens, we met at the train station. The tour was excellent. I have forgotten the name of our guide on 27 September but she was excellent, really informative and from the area so was able to talk about her experiences. It really bough our trip to life. We visited two of the monasteries but stopped for views of them all. It was 4 hours well spent. We did a morning e bike tour the next day and pleased we did the bus tour in the afternoon as the monasteries and roads are very busy in the morning.

Great tour and not all as planned - Pickup was planned for 12.30, but 12.40 the bus arrived. A bus full with people out of Athens that first needed a lunch. We actually just had lunch and this was not part of the plan that I reviewed on line. The tour guide Maria did a good job and all the monasteries planned were visited. Awesome views !!! We missed a little bit inside monastery explanation which was apparently not part of the package. All but all still a good tour, but not excellent
