Visit Meteora has great customer service, special thanks in particular to Dino. The trains from Athens had just stopped running indefinitely due to damage from the rains and they answered my many emails promptly and politely. They organized buses up from Athens and so I was able to get here and do their Sunset Tour tonight. I was impressed by many things, the wonderful and lengthy tour, how much variety there was on the tour, how much knowledge our guide passed on and in an interesting way, great driver and vehicle. Very highly recommend

Our local guide Anatolius (forgive me if the name is wrong) gave us a detailed history of the monasteries, from when the hermits dwelled in caves till when they built their mountain towns. He had a very friendly and approachable manner and answered every question in depth. He really made the trip feel more than a guided tour, more like a friend sharing something they're interested in. I was worried that with limited time in Greece on my first holiday that the use of a whole day for travel and a tour would be disappointing, but both my girlfriend and I truly felt this was worth it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour experience. It was flawless from start to finish - every site we visited was remarkable, the information provided was insightful, and the sunset view was truly breathtaking. The tour itinerary ensured we had ample privacy at each location and arrived at the sunset spot right on schedule. The coordination and organization were exceptional. Above all, our tour guide, Vasilis, was the highlight of the day...

Wow! Book this trip with this company-you will not be disappointed!! We took the Half-Day Tour and the Sunset Tour. As advertised, they covered different monasteries. The driver knew exactly where to stop for the best pictures and navigated the winding roads beautifully. The guides were engaging and thorough in their knowledge. We were appreciative of the complimentary cold water, the air conditioned small bus, and curb side pickup at the hotel. We have several friends traveling to Greece soon and we recommended this company to them.

We did both a private tour and a sunset group tour, in addition Travel Meteora arranged the train tickets from Athens and the pick up from and back to the train station. The tours were informative, professional, the monasteries are impressive, the culture and tradition are rich, the views are magnificent and the landscape is spectacular.
