An excellent 2 day tour with faultless organisation. Such good value. My return train left at 6.30 pm and the tour finished at 12.30pm. Kalabaka is not very interesting, so I would recommend negotiating with your hotel for a late checkout. The climbs to the monasteries are demanding, so definitely not suitable for anyone with limited mobility. Photos inside the monasteries are forbidden so but the illustrated guide.

Everything was perfect! The guide gave detailed and detailed explanations of the different places and answered all questions clearly. The place called Meteora itself was also really beautiful, and seeing the natural scenery and monasteries there made me feel at peace. It was really moving and I think it will be an unforgettable trip.

Amazing!! Amazing place, amazing tour. The guide was amazing also. Really funny and incredibly knowledgeable. Went on winter, and for that I was very foggy, which made impossible to see the sunset, of course they couldn’t do anything about it, but they made it totally worth it still. Highly recommend

nice proposal. The organization was punctual: from the train ticket to the welcome on arrival, from the guided tours to the availability to satisfy any wishes. I also enjoyed having free time to explore the trails around Kalambata.

The pick up transport provided by the team is the highlight of the tour for me that with a small kids. It really helped alot. The young kids enjoyed the tour so much!
