Reviews
As a solo traveller visiting Meteora I decided that having a guide would be helpful to navigate all the potential trails and sites in the area. I decided to do the "Footsteps of the Monks" tour which includes 3 outdoor activities: Hiking tour of Meteora, Meteora Caves hike, and Hiking and Scramble tour. In my opinion all three were very worthwhile but my favourite was the Meteora Caves hike because you really feel like you are following the footsteps of the people who lived there generations before.
If you get Chris as a guide consider yourself extremely lucky because he is candid, knowledgeable about the history and knows the area like the back of his hand! In the couple of weeks I spent in Greece, Meteora was easily a highlight and it was largely thanks to Chris that I had such an awesome experience! Thank you!!!
My girlfriend and I who have minimal hiking experience did the “Hiking Meteora’s Caves” which was the highlight of our stay in Meteora. Our guide Chris, a local of Meteora, was extremely knowledgeable of the area and the history of the monasteries and hermit caves. Throughout the whole trip he explained to us the significance of what we were seeing and drew our attention old monasteries, wild herbs, and other things we would not have noticed otherwise.
Although we are both novice hikers, and the hike itself is definitely challenging at times, we always felt safe and well looked after during the hike. Chris even brought us extra water and snack bars. There were amazing photo opportunities throughout the hike that we would not have been able to find by ourselves, and at the end we had climbed to the top of the rock of the Holy Spirit where the view of the area was absolutely spectacular. I highly recommend doing this hike if you visit Meteora.
I highly recommend going with Visit Meteora, you will not regret it!

I did 4 tours with Visit Meteora...all of them were great...due to the covid situation and tourist numbers being down I was the only person on 3 of the tours...despite this they still run the tours which was great! 👍🏼
I did the hiking tour, sunset tour, scramble tour & mountain biking tour...the guides on all of the tours were great, arrived on time, were friendly and provided a lot of information. I’d definitely recommend booking with them!
Meteora is more than its monasteries and sunset. The city is filled with much history (Ancient Greek, Roman, and Ottoman) and nature wonder. This tour offers you MORE THAN sunset and photography. The travel guide Vasili lives in town. He has plenty knowledge of Meteora. Whether you are just here for photo, or a history guru, enjoy the trip with Vasili.
I was in Meteora in 2019 Dec and booked the tour with Vasili. I returned again in 2021 with my newly wed wife, and booked the same tour for us.
Be sure your phone is charged and plenty memory space for the photos. Enjoy the trip!
