Amazing journey with an experienced guide - So I had Olivia on my tour and she was just so down to earth. I loved her. We're both teachers so I just really appreciated her speaking voice and I know we had a lot to cover so I just appreciated the entire tour. Meteora is a very highly visited place but I felt good about my decision to go with this tour. Everyone had a good time! Just a warning, there will be crowds. If you're claustrophobic, you should probably skip this one. Otherwise, go for it.

Friends from Malaysia - Meteora is amazing. Both the guides are very good & knowledgeable & tell us details of Meteora. The bus ride from Athens & transfer was smooth only that we have to load our luggages to the buses.
The 3 star hotel was also very clean & good plus the breakfast was a bonus too

Meteora Rocks!! - The monasteries on the top of Meteora were amazing. The natural beauty of the rock formations was breathtaking. The sunset tour was fantastic. The tour staff on both days were fabulous. Hotel Kaikis was good, especially the breakfast.

Worth every dollar - Great agency to work with, they are very responsive and accommodating. The tour guide are friendly, knowledgeable and funny. I did the 2 day tour with a 4.5 hr sunset tour and the morning tour with the hike. It's an easy mostly downhill hike, with hidden places, spots you can get to only on your feet. The hotel was great too with delicious breakfast that had plenty of vegan options. Staff was friendly.

It could have been nice... - The tour had to be canceled at the last moment - and unfortunately after my departure from Thessaloniki towards Kalambaka - due to Cyclone Daniel which hit central Greece hard (7 September). The Agency, after due clarifications and apologies, immediately refunded the amount I paid. I hope to have the opportunity to visit Meteora in the near future and in this case I will certainly turn to Meteora Thrones.

Poor start but gets better - Meteora advised that train travel was not possible so we went by public bus which was bearable but then learnt that the trains were ok. So this was a mix up.
The tours and hotel were good.

Spectacular views in Meteora - but is it worth the long and uncomfortable journey there? - Meteora is an amazing experience. On site we had knowledgeable guides and professional drivers. But the transfer from Thessaloniki to Meteora was a terrible experience. We booked a trip with 3 hours train ride. 4 days before the trip (when it is difficult to find alternatives) we were contacted by the organizer who announced that due to storms it was not possible to travel by train all the way. Instead, the journey time was just over 6 hours in each direction, including a 2-hour wait at a hot and almost deserted station for a change to bus. There was no information about this at the time of booking, although this was known to the organisers for over 1 year. Had we known when we booked, we would have chosen a different travel option. I understand that the organizers deliberately withheld important information about the conditions of the trip at the time of booking in order not to scare away customers.
