We had a wonderful time on our 3-day, 2-night tour to Meteora. It is beautiful and felt much like visiting a national park in the states. It was very worth the extra travel time. Visit Meteora was a great company to go with and provided knowledgeable and entertaining guides to learn from both about the religious history of the monasteries and about the rock formations. We did the sunset tour which involved a visit to 1 monastery and a local church, a short hike in the woods, and multiple picture opportunities leading up to the sunset. The guide was intentional to take your pictures at the best spots along the way. The next morning we did the half day tour which stopped at 3 different monasteries and generally gave you enough time at each but did repeat some info we learned the night before. The guide does not go into the monasteries with you but provides lots of info and stories in the chartered van. They had safe drivers, helpful communication pre-trip and at their local office where they can hold your bags if needed, and arranged a beautiful hotel stay. Each family/couple seemed to be assigned different hotels in the local area. We did not upgrade and ended up loving our stay at Boutique Plakias Guesthouse/Boutique Holy Spirit. It was a small room but but the staff were incredibly hospitable and also ran the most delicious and fun restaurant in the tiny town of Kastraki. Definitely add Taverna Gardenia to your meal plans regardless of the hotel you’re assigned. We ate there 4 times during our stay and the tour guide dropped others off there to dine as well. We took a greyhound style bus from Athens to Meteora alongside other tour companies as recent flooding and damage have put the train to Meteora out of commission for a while (projected into 2024). We did not add any additional activities so we probably could have stayed one less day as we still had free time before and after the two scheduled tours that are included. Others seemed to enjoy the hike and rock climbing add ons. It was easy to get a taxi during our free time back up to visit the sites but that additional transport is not part of the package. Kalabaka is bigger than Kastraki and had a nice little downtown to walk, shop, and dine in for an afternoon, but it does not have the same charm or as good of views of Meteora or hiking access from hotel if you’re looking for that. Thank you Visit Meteora for a wonderful time!

Visit Meteora is the absolute BEST tour company to use when visiting the Monasteries near Kalabaka Greece! My friend and I were booked to do the overnight trip departing Athens on the train. Our train was cancelled while we were standing on the platform because of the record rainfall that the area was receiving. George from Visit Meteora personally arranged to have Evan, one of his drivers pick us up in Athens and drive us to Kalabaka. Unfortunately about 1/2 way there the highway was closed due to flooding. George had been in constant contact with Evan. He arranged for us to have very nice lodgings and the next morning we headed out again. Evan was able to get us there with great knowledge of the roads and countryside. We arrived in time to have the sunset tour with Toli. Again, first rate and very informative! The next day we had an amazing hiking tour with Chris. Just fabulous! We were supposed to return by bus because the trains were still not operational. We had to be back in Athens that night. However, the Highway back to Athens was still closed. George arranged to drive us to Thessaloniki, 3 hours away and then flew with us to Athens. He had another great driver, Janis, meet us at the airport and take us to our hotel. We could not have asked for better care! He truly cares about his clients and has quality people working for him. Meteora and the monasteries are breathtaking and not to be missed! A one day trip from Athens is not adequate. Spend a minimum of 1 night! And, choose Visit Meteora as your tour company! Then sit back, relax and let them show you the stunning Meteora they call home!

2 night Meteora trip with sunset tour and half day monastry tour. This was a highlight of our trip. Don’t try to do it in one day - you will miss so much. The sunset tour guide was very knowledgeable, he gave a wonderful set of stories to bring each place alive. The half day Monastry tour, we selected the hiking option. We saw so much more on foot. The views were spectacular and the guide - Evan-was excellent.
