    The second day was basically a repeat of the information we got on the first day since they put us together with the 1 day tour. And after we get dropped off around lunch we're left for over 4 hours with nothing to do until our return bus. There were 2 stops in what were obviously partner shops to get us to spend money there, which is really disrespectful since we spent all that money to see Meteora. And not only do we get a subpar tour, we're pushed into money grabbing schemes. The bus ride home was awful! It was really hot and the driver didn't turn the AC on. People were using what they could as fans. Save yourself some money and go to Meteora by train and get a taxi to take you to the monasteries. I sure wish I did.

  • A very complete excursion! 😊

    This trip lived up to our expectations! My partner and I found this trip very well organized. The guides (Giannis and Vasiliki) are passionate and take the time to answer questions. The sunset over the Meteors is magical, it is definitely worth it. Only small downside: the hotel, although sufficient and welcoming, did not correspond, in our opinion, to a comfort of three stars!

  • The start of the tour...

    The start of the tour didn't go well. We (a huge number of people) all arrived at the location as directed. The bus driver wasn't helpful and didn't provide any info. Later two more buses showed up across the very busy road and every one is rushing to get to them. The drivers showed us our names on a very small piece of paper and every one is searching their names at the same time. It was very disorganized. It got better when we get there. The tour I signed up for has 7 people, much more manageable. The tour ended at 1:00 pm the next day, but we had to wait until 6:00 pm to accommodate the one-day tourists. Nothing to complain about, it's not a private tour after all.

  • Meteora is a must see! Meteora Thrones were amazing!

    We did the 2 day tour from Athens by bus. Great communication and easy to find meeting point. We had Christo as our driver and Nikolas as our tour guide for day one tour which was the sunset tour! No words can describe what we saw and what we felt! Day 2 tour with our driver Kosta and our guide Nancy was also exceptional. Nancy was so knowledgeable and had little surprises for us along the way. She warned us of the many steps but also took us “hiking” though nature before our last visit to Agia Barbara. Special points go to Kosta for his photographic skills 😉 We 100% recommend the 2 day tour … it’s an item ticked off our bucket list and something we will never forget 🙏
