GetYourGuide traveler November 7, 2023 – Verified booking
I really enjoyed the stunning view of Meteora, visiting 5 out of 6 monasteries in 2 days with an additional tour which I booked separately. I am very happy that I joined this tour. Our guide on the first day was very nice and told us interesting stories about the monasteries and the background. However, it was a pity that he didn’t suggest that we visit Varlaam as it was closed on the next day. The guide on the next day was ok. The stories she told us sounded repetitive to what we heard on the previous day and therefore not impressive. It would have been good if you had provided/offered some options for activities for the second day so that we could fully enjoy our visit in Meteora.

2 day tour was excellent. Day 1 we did the bus tour and the sunset tour (fabulous!) and Day 2 the waking/hiking. Guides were great with history of the monasteries and answering our questions. Thoroughly enjoyed both days. And the hotel was excellent too. Highly recommend this tour.

This was a good option to visit Meteora from Athens without rush. The guides were excellent and the tours well organized. The monasteries are remarkable and the sunset very beautiful. The accommodations, however, were not good. We booked the “4 star hotel” but it looks more like a 2 stars since their facilities need urgent renovation and updating. Likewise, the quality of the breakfast was not good. The staff was very friendly and helpful, though.
