Excursion d'une journée panoramique d'Athènes à Météore avec option de transfert

It is a long day trip from Athens but the tour was well worth the time and money. There were rest stops both coming and going which helped break up the 5 + hour bus ride. The itinerary was well planned and our knowledgeable and personally engaging tour guide Maria provided detailed anecdotes about the history of the monasteries and the monastic lifestyle. We visited four monasteries and a vantage point which was more than enough considering the length of the trip. Meteora is a place I would wholeheartedly recommend and Meteora Thrones has it planned out well.

Good 😊 organised by the driver and the tour crew with the yummy 🤤 lunch and the explanation of the Monasteries

The excursion is worth it; the monasteries and the surroundings are incredible. The guide Rula gave us a lot of information and was very pleasant. We visited three of the monasteries inside, and they are simply spectacular. The round trip from Athens in one day is long, but it is definitely worth it.

The tour was very well organized. It was easy to find the bus and the driver and tour guide were very knowledgeable and reliable. This is a great day tour to do from Athens and very good value. I am happy with the one day tour where you see 3 monasteries. You see all of them from the outside as well as the amazing view. Inside the monasteries are nice, but to be honest the three we say (Megalo Meteoro, Agios Varlaam, and Agios Stephanos) were fairly similar so I don’t think you need to see more to appreciate it.

A beautiful experience, Meteora is very impressive, even though it involves 8 hours of bus travel round trip, it is truly worth it. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, and the driver was attentive.

Hi, Pros: the tour guide lady was very friendly, helpful, and the place is breathtaking Cons: on the way there the police stopped us for some reason, the driver didnt tell us even a word for why we stopped and held up for 20mins. May be thats why we didnt stop at the first stop. The lunch was terrible, we couldnt eat it, rather we purchased something else. And the Wifi didnt work either way on the bus, but that was nothing almost.

The guide was very kind and taught as a lot of things about this site and both the driver and the guide were friendly and took us a lot of beutiful pictures on the famous view points where we stopped.

I was nervous at the beginning when we got to the buses, as it was very chaotic and disorganized. After we found which bus we were on, the rest of the day was practically a 5-star review. The buses were really nice and air-conditioned. If you want to charge your phone at all, bring a USB phone adapter as that is what the outlets on the bus were, or just bring your own portable charger. Definitely bring some kind of charging mechanism as it was a very long and full day. Our tour guide was very sweet. I can’t remember her name, but she was very helpful and always willing to answer our miscellaneous questions that we had. The bus ride to the monasteries took about 4.5-5 hours since we took a break stop about 2 hours in, and then another stop for lunch before heading into the monasteries. I did not pay for an included lunch voucher, and I was okay without it. I would definitely pack some snacks and/or part of a meal if that is something you’d like to have during the day. The lunch was more of a food court/school lunch type of system. You can always decide to pay for a lunch when you get there though — it was €15 for a salad, food plate, and water. We got to go inside 3 of the 6 monasteries. I thought all 3 of the ones we went inside of were very interesting and a great sight to see. They really did not miss anything in Meteora on this trip! To go inside the monasteries, you have to pay €5, so I would make sure to bring some Euros with you. There was a lot of “hop on, hop off” moments with the bus, and I really enjoyed that there was not an extensive amount of walking. We spent about 5 hours up at the monasteries, and I felt like it was the perfect amount of time. On a ride back, we stopped by the same place we went to right before the monasteries before we headed home. There was not a food service per say, but you could buy snacks/drinks and use the restroom before heading back. We stopped again after 2 hours at the same place we were at for the first stop, and they had some dinner options. I am not sure how much it cost, but you were also able to get snacks/drinks there as well as the restroom. Overall, it was a VERY long and busy day, but I would say the money spent was very well worth it. I would definitely recommend to others!

Excellent experience; Rula was an excellent guide in Spanish, and Aris was a very good driver. Highly recommended for the views of the monasteries.

Wonderful tour!! These breathtaking monasteries were truly amazing! Our guide, Clement, was so knowledgeable and passionate.
