Seeing Meteora through the eyes of native born and raised guides.

5.00There some unexpected issues such as the train strike that affected our return by train but the company handled everything for us, kept us infirmaded all the time, offered options, and got us the return bus tickets. Besides that everything was great! The guides Vasilis and Chris were a well of information, history, and curiosities. The small group tour is a wonderful way to go and my utmost recommendation. We had 3 tourists in the tour with Vasilis and just 2 of us with Chris (the guide) on the second day. The place is amazing and worth of every moment there. We stayed for 1 night, but if I ever come back, I will sure extend the trip for at least one more day, and do a couple of the hikes. We visited all the 6 monasteries that are still open, unfortunately I was only able to climb the steps to 3 of them...there are tons of them but my knees don't like them very much mowadays :-( . However, I still enjoyed the experience as much as if I had climbed. The paths, the views, the little hidden peak-a-boo perspective has lots to offer. I highly recommend Meteora Rocks to anyone planning to visit Meteora.

5.00It was just the two of us and our guide Panos the first day and an additional traveler on our second day in Kalambaka. The tour was well paced with plenty of time to take pictures and linger at the beautiful sites we saw. Panos took pictures of us , spoke good English and was very patient. We got to see a beautiful sunset and were given recommendations for different restaurants in the area. The logistics from moving from Athens to Kalambaka worked perfectly. The train and then meeting the bus worked like clockwork. We also had added drama to our trip because we left our passports in our hotel safe. But with the help of the hotel and our tour operator, we were able to have our passport sent by bus the following morning to Athens where we pick them up at the bus station . We were leaving that same day for a cruise for two weeks. Thanks to their kindness and hard work they saved the day for us . We are ever grateful for their help and kindness. I totally recommend visiting Meteora and spending the night. It was a beautiful reprieve from the city of Athens and cooler in temperature. Thank you again for a wonderful experience in so many ways.

5.00We 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.
Tour of the Hanging Monasteries of Meteora in Kalabaka, Greece

5.00The 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.
Best tour in Greece !

5.00Great experience!!! 🤩 It truly made a difference having Panos as our guide 💝: apart from knowing all the data about the place, he was able to share the day to day experience of living in such an amazing place. He was proficient, knowledgeable, kind, patient and respectful! We do appreciate he always was in the best disposition to help and provide answers to our very random questions ☺️ (and had all the right responses by the way!) . His great personality and sense of humor did made the difference! Plus, he takes amazing pictures 📸
