The staff was super friendly and I learned so much on this tour. It was comprehensive and fun. I enjoyed learning and asking questions with our hiking tour guide. I enjoyed the local town as well. And the majestic views with the monasteries built up on the rocks. I loved learning about the geology of how the area was formed too.

Our guides for the first day and on 2nd day (for the hike) are both good. It was a wonderful tour with lots of magnificent views. The hike on 2nd day was really good to see the monasteries from different angles. Our room was good as we were given one that faces the Meteora. Definitely making the long journey (5 hrs to and 5 hrs back) worth it

Booking the tour was very easy and staff were very responsive via email. They also accommodated our request to have one member of our family do the Panoramic tour while the others did the hiking tour. They remembered that request during the actual tour which was a big plus. Bus pickup and drop off were generally on time. We had a pit stop to break up the five-hour ride to and from Athens to Meteora. The tour itself was comfortable with a lot of nice views. The guide will only go with you inside the Byzantine church, but not inside the monasteries. The stories about the monasteries were therefore only during the bus ride and if you ask additional questions. As we had three different guides during the two-day tour, we heard roughly the same kind of information three times as well: it would be great if the guides would inject some more interesting trivia about the place or maybe personal experiences so we could know better what life is like living in such a beautiful place or in Greece in general!

Everything was seamlessly and efficiently put together. Ran like experienced clockwork. Much easier than trying to DIY. Bus was comfortable albeit a very long journey. 2 days gave a lot of extra time in the afternoons to explore the town on our own and suggestions were not proactively given until after the second morning tour. We were able to book ourselves an extra horse riding tour to use up some time on the second afternoon. 3 star hotel Alexious was simple but has a nice balcony with partial view of the rocks and right in the town, so a very short walk to souvenir shops and restaurants. It has everything you need in a hotel room, just a bit dated looking with a safe that still uses a key! But hey, at least it has a safe! They also allowed us to store our luggage and use their restroom after checking out in the morning. We opted for the hike on the second day. We were the only 2 who chose it so we basically had a private tour with young Christos who is an excellent guide, speaks great English and was very considerate to keep a nice pace and took lots of photos of us. I think this is a much better option than sitting on the bus going through much of the sane scenery again. We saw different scenery and perspectives and more things up close. We are a less than fit couple on the wrong end of 50 with knee and joint problems and we found the home much easier than expected. Thanks to Christos always offering help and our trusty hiking poles and boots as well as monks who really know how to build paths ( according to Christos) s well as the perfect cool weather.
