Meteora matters - Kind and authentic tour guides, comfortable tour bus, and wonderful rhythm to the tour.
Vasiliki and Tsakis helped to make a summer day visiting the Meteora monasteries a joy. Both children and adults had a great time.

Really good - Very happy with the tours. And I am a person that I don't do tours because I don't like them and I like to feel free. But with Meteora thrones I felt totally comfortable. We did two tours: sunset tour and half day tour to visit monasteries. Our driver was very professional and our guide was really kind and she knows a lot about Meteora and told us really interesting things about the history of the place. She helped us a lot with all the things that I needed because my mother cannot move really well and she helped us in every moment and situation. We felt really comfortable. Very professional because she is very interesting that everybody feels comfortable and happy. Totally recomended. Thanks a lot for everything :)

Unforgettable - I can really recommend this tour. The guide Yiannis and our buss driver Kostas made the tour truly rememberable and showed us some of the most beautiful places and photostops. Five stars.

Great experience - We researched going around ourselves, but we gave up because the bike size didn't fit, so we applied for a tour. Our guide Panos was cheerfully and helpfully escorted us, and our driver Nicholas, despite his poor English, spoke to us and took pictures of us, and we had a warm exchange with the tour participants, which was the right thing to do.
The whole organisation was really good and the people were soo nice and they try their best to give you unforgettable moments...

Awesome and knowledgeable tour - We got picked up at the Airbnb where we stayed. The tour leader was fantastic. She explained a lot while we were on the move in the bus. If she couldn’t finish what she wanted to say, as we arrived at the destination, she’d continue once we got on the bus again. She gave us an option before visiting the last monastery, Roussanou, that we could bus down the hill there or walk through the woods downhill there. We took walk through the woods. It was a nice experience. She really made this morning tour very enjoyable and knowledgeable.

This is a great way to... - This is a great way to get a sense of the various monasteries! It does move quickly, so if you have a couple of days, I would suggest getting an overview with this tour, then going back alone to your favorite site to spend more time if you can. I would to have loved to have more time at each of the monasteries!
