I had a fantastic time on this trip! The 2 day trip is definitely worth the money and the time. I feel that had I chosen a 1-day trip I would have been left with a lot of regrets. I also want to thank Clement our tour guide for providing a great sunset tour experience with detailed materials and explanations to enrich our experience of Meteora. The hotel (Hotel Alexiou) was clean and the staff was very helpful, even helping me after I checked out to get a taxi to see monasteries that I missed with the big group tour!

I absolutely loved this, everything is taken care of for you so you seamlessly go through it all with amazing guides, 3 star hotel and cheaper train ticket is fantastic. Meteora is such a special place and recommend you do the 2 day so you are able to watch an unbelievable sunset over the monasteries. In the 2 day trip there is a lot of free time as well so have the time to relax and just chill in the city. Thanks again guys!

We planned well in advance so we got first class train tickets (cabin of 6 seats). There is also a food car on the train but it’s a good idea to have snacks or lunch with you as it can get busy. Our accommodation was the three star and the room was clean and comfortable. All transportation was great and the guides were informative and funny. The views were amazing - such a mystical magical place! The monasteries were beautiful - lots of steps to visit them. This is definitely a must see but I would recommend the overnight stay one - I would think the day trip one would be very rushed.
