We stayed overnight at a small hotel in Kalambaka, which was very clean, about a 3-star standard, and included breakfast. The town itself is absolutely charming — small, cute, and safe — perfect for wandering after the day’s sightseeing. The real highlight of our experience was our guide, Panos. He was incredible: a local guide, young, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to ensuring we had the best experience possible despite less-than-ideal weather. He took us to all the best viewpoints and monasteries and even gave excellent dining recommendations in Kalambaka. This tour is family-friendly, but travelers should expect a fair bit of walking and some stairs at the monasteries. Good shoes are a must, and it’s helpful to pack for variable weather. Overall, we highly recommend this two-day excursion. It’s a fantastic way to see a unique part of Greece and escape the busyness of Athens for a couple of days — well worth the time and cost.

The tour turned out to be excellent, once we were able to finally get to Kalabaka. Our guide, Panos, was excellent (a native of the area with much knowledge and enthusiasm and able to keep the attention of four 16-17 year olds) and the driver of our van was excellent. We loved the area, teh tour, and the commentary. The only issue was NOT being able to get assistance from Viator, whom I contacted with, when we had no train tickets & needed to board the train in about an hour. It was incredibly stressful and difficult. I had no time to sort this out during the first 7 days of our tour. We finally found out after much consternation, that the train tickets had been sent by Whats App, which I rarely use. There should have been better/more communication between Viator and me in the 7-8 days leading up to the tour. This was a small part of a larger tour that i planned for our group - 9 people - so there were many logistics to track, and Viator was very hard to work with - unhelpful, and when i used the app to get HELP, all i got was advertisements for other tours!!! Awful. They expected me to get any help via "frequently asked questions!" Very difficult. I finally was bale to waste 1/2 an hour to finally get a phone number to call for help. I plan trips regularly for my groups, and I will think twice before using Viator or Trip Advisor again. My other tour operators (Tours by Locals) were much easier to work with. All it takes is a HUMAN and some actual "customer service" to make this work well. Again, though, the tour itself was really great and i highly recommend it. If there is a way to get this tour in a way not using Viator or Trip Advisor, that would be perfect.

This tour was great! Our guide Panos was perfect: friendly, local, and knowledgeable. He had stories about growing up in the area and visiting these sites with his friends and family. The sunset was beautiful, but getting to go into the monasteries was the real treat. By spending the night, we were able to get into some of the monasteries before the crowds arrived.
A highly recommended experience!

We are SO glad we went on this excursion! Meteora is like no place else on Earth. Our guides could not have been better. They offered lots of interesting facts about the monasteries and the area. We were picked up on time in a Mercedes van ~ this is not a big-bus tour. The hotel was charming and very “local style”. We were very happy with our choice of this tour!
