We had a very pleasant morning in the company of our guide, Nikos. The hike was accessible, with stunning viewpoints, and very interesting exchanges with our guide.
We had a fantastic experience, this way you feel and experience this unearthly landscape much more intensely than with a bus trip. It's not a hard walk
The trip was done by another organization Meteora Trip (so not Meteora Thrones) which was not a problem. Yannis was a super good guide who guided us through the area with knowledge of the local history and nature and humor. In short, a fun, educational walk. Recommended!
Spectacular experience and stunning scenery. It's a magical, mystical, amazing place... The Clemens guide has been wonderful. Behaved great, tried to communicate with us and modified the route because of the weather. It suited us and the weather. And that's unpayable. Another in his place would have stayed the same because he was hired and ready. He recommended us, helped us and accompanied us. 10/10
Muchas gracias por su magnífico comentario. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron de la magia de Meteora y que Clemens hizo la experiencia aún mejor adaptándose al clima y a sus necesidades. Su dedicación y cercanía son realmente valiosas. Gracias por elegirnos y por ese 10/10.
We actually did the climbing experience with Christos. God bless we’ll never forget. Also everyone at the office - so super polite and good hearted. Thank you so much guys
Thank you so much for your wonderful words! We’re thrilled to hear that your climbing experience with Christos was unforgettable and that our team made you feel welcome. Warm regards from all of us at Meteora Thrones
Very well organised with tour guides that have a lot of knowledge about Meteora. Our tour guides Nancy and Yanis were wonderful and professional. I would recommend this tour to everyone wanting to do a bit more then just drive to monastery to monastery.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that Nancy and Yanis brought such professionalism and depth of knowledge to the tour having guides who go beyond the basics truly elevates the journey. Meteora deserves more than just a drive-by, and it sounds like you got to explore it in a meaningful and enriching way.
We chose the hiking tour with Vaso who was great. Stefan picked up from our hotel on time, drove us up to the Varlaam monastery where we spent some time, the best one I think, and then we walked DOWN to Kalambaka with Vaso as our guide through the mountains seeing so many things including another monastery you would not see from a road tour and unique rock formations. It was tranquil, informative and an easy walk. By far the best thing we did while in Meteora. Even if you are not a hiker, this walk is an easy downhill 2-3 hours. Give it a go.
Thank you very much !
Tour not tiring in those who visit the monasteries that have a few steps to do, in one we made the steps only downhill (the bus has recovered a hairpin bend lower). A very interesting experience: beautiful views + guide info explaining history and geology. The guide speaks English, but included in the ticket is a vocal explanation in Italian.
Grazie mille per la tua recensione! Siamo felici che tu abbia trovato il tour interessante e i panorami spettacolari. È ottimo sapere che le spiegazioni della guida e l’audio in italiano abbiano reso l’esperienza ancora più completa. Speriamo di averti di nuovo con noi per un’altra splendida visita!
The hike was very well organized and the landscapes are wonderful. Ianis was a very good guide and I recommend the tour! :)
Thank you for your kind words! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the hike and the beautiful landscapes. Giannis is indeed a fantastic guide, and we’re glad he made your tour memorable. We appreciate your recommendation!
Vasiliki was such a friendly & helpful guide! It was so nice to take a hike around the area without having to worry about getting lost. The views were great and there was still plenty of shade!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad Vasiliki made your hike enjoyable and stress-free. The beautiful views and shaded paths definitely add to the charm of exploring Meteora. Hope you get to visit again soon!
