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.

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.

Our trip to Meteora was organised by VisitMeteora company. They were exemplary. All pickups were punctual, vehicles were safe and immaculate, drivers careful and courteous and the guide Vasilis was thoughtful, and provided relevant information in an interesting manner. In addition, on arrival in Meteora we had an emergency situation and the office staff and manager couldn't have been more helpful. We have traveled extensively and we believe this company is everything and more that a traveler could want.

Meteora was a highlight of our Greece vacation and the Meteora tour was key. Even though we had a rainy, cloudy day that obscured the amazing views, our guide, Vasilly, provided the commentary that made the tour so worthwhile. And, of course, the visits to the monasteries were fabulous and did not depend on weather. I felt fortunate that the St. Barbara monastery, aka Rousaneau, was open that day and lit a candle to my name saint. Later that afternoon, my prayers were answered as the clouds lifted and we returned to take in the incredible, otherworldly views. Those sights will be imprinted on our memories forever.
