We have split our tours into morning and afternoon ones. Furthermore, all our tours visit different places in Meteora. This way, you can combine any morning tour with any afternoon tour you wish! A classic combination is the Meteora Hiking Tour in the morning and the Meteora Sunset Tour in the afternoon.
You can make a booking with us literally at the last minute! Just keep in mind that there may be no seats left on the tour if you do that! We recommend booking at least one week in advance, in order to have the best chances of finding availability.
All our bus tours run regardless of weather. If we are forced to cancel an activity because of extreme weather conditions, you have the option to change date or switch activity or cancel and receive a refund.
