This trip was an absolute highlight of my 3 weeks in Greece. I was debating for a long time whether it was worth taking 2 days out of my trip to go to Meteora and I 100% made the right decision. Meteora is a must-see, and one day (with the travel time) would not have been enough to do it justice. The bus there and back was comfortable and the restaurant stop was fantastic - beautiful views and good food and drinks. I opted for the cheaper hotel option and was pleasantly surprised - it was a great. It was called Hotel Kaikis and it was a great stay - friendly staff, a nice room and a great breakfast. The sunset tour was wonderful, and so much more involved than I expected, with lots of stops along the way, both for views and history/culture. Vassilis was our guide and he was so much fun, and played instagram bf for us all, taking incredible photos. I was unsure whether to do the bus tour or hike the next morning, as I am incredibly unfit and hate walking uphill. But Vassilis ended up talking me into it and I am so grateful to him. The hike was with Chris and he was phenomenal. There was only one other person doing the hike so it felt like a private experience. It was actually really manageable, even for someone of my fitness level and it was one of the best things I did on my whole trip. We saw so many incredible things, and Chris was so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The whole morning was a dream. I asked if there were any caves we can visit and Chris did a detour to one just for me, which was incredible. I enjoyed the free time on both days to enjoy the town of Kalabaka, eat and some of the lovely restaurants and explore the museums. Overall the tour was well organised, great value for money and just an incredible experience. Meteora is unlike any other place I've been and it is a must-see. If you are debating whether to go, please heed my words and just do it! And do the 2 day tour, and do the hike - you will not regret it!!
Cool place to visit. Seems like everything could be done in a single outing as the second tour felt repetitive. Bus back leaves inconveniently late. We spent 4 hours in a coffee shop ruminating on how we would like to leave now before the bus home.
Dear guest, Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found Meteora worth visiting. We are sorry that the second tour felt repetitive for you and that the return time was not convenient. The 2-day program is designed to offer a more relaxed experience, with different light, viewpoints, and tour styles between the sunset and morning tours, although some overlap in the area can naturally occur. The return bus schedule is fixed in order to connect with the Athens transfer, but we understand that the waiting time can feel long for some guests. Your comments are valuable and will help us improve how we present the itinerary and free time. Warm regards, The Visit Meteora Team
We loved our excursion to the Meteora. We were taken care of from start to finish by Visit Meteora for transportation, the hotel, and the visit to the monasteries. We had chosen the package that included one night in a 4-star hotel, which turned out to be the Doupiani House. Thanks to its location in Kastraki, we were able to walk to visit an additional nearby monastery in the afternoon. The activity organized at sunset was wonderful; it is a must not to miss! The explanations from our guides, including Apostolis, were always very helpful and relevant. I recommend it without hesitation! Even though there are still many steps to access the monasteries, the view is always worth it!
Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que votre excursion de 2 jours aux Météores ait été une si belle expérience, de l’organisation des transports à l’hôtel et aux visites. Nous sommes heureux que le Doupiani House et sa localisation à Kastraki aient ajouté encore plus de valeur à votre séjour. Apostolis et toute notre équipe seront très touchés par vos mots. Merci pour votre recommandation !
Chris is our tour guide. His both passion and knowledge are very impressive. We were so lucky to have Chris as our guide. We learned a lot for this tour. Thanks Chris thanks Visit Meteora!

Magical experience. Our guide Vasilis was perfect. He introduced us to his corner of the country and its culture.
Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que votre expérience à Météores ait été magique. Vasilis sera très heureux de lire vos gentils mots. Partager la beauté de sa région et la richesse de sa culture avec nos visiteurs est une véritable passion. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau en Grèce dans le futur !
Made the long trip to Meteora completely stress-free. The tour guides were especially great.
Thank you very much for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that the 2-day experience made your trip to Meteora easy and stress-free. Meteora is truly a unique destination, and our goal is always to let travelers enjoy it comfortably without worrying about the logistics. We are especially happy that you enjoyed our tour guides and the overall organization of the experience. We hope to welcome you back to Greece again someday!
Excellent experience, the hotel was great, the views were great. I highly recommend the guided hike, our guide, Christoph was friendly, informative and fun. The hike isn't too challenging but not overly simple either and the views and atmosphere are well worth it.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the 2-day Meteora experience, the hotel, and the breathtaking views. Christoph will be very happy to know you appreciated his guiding and enjoyed the hike. We agree the hiking tour offers the perfect balance of adventure, scenery, and atmosphere. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Meteora again someday!
Very poor experience overall. The guides themselves were great but the organization around the tours was awful. Not only did the two tours (sunset + monastery visits) end up overlapping by around 70%, but the planning, instructions and transport were completely disorganized. At departure there were multiple different busses but none of them labeled with the company identified in the instructions and there were no tickets so we had to ask every bus driver if we were on the list. After the ride from Athens to Meteora, the bus was split between multiple groups to dispatch to the hotels but their list were wrong and we ended up being sent to the wrong hotel 2 kms away and we had to talk to multiple hotels for one to finally call the trip organizers and call the transport back to bring us to the right hotel. This took almost 2 hours, making us waste our first 4h of free time. After all these issues, the first tour was uneventful but they could not give us precise times or locations for the pickups even though they kept telling us we needed to be on time. There supposedly was an option to choose between a hike or the bus tour for the second day, there was absolutely no information on the hike itself (Duration, difficulty, starting point, etc.) or instructions on how to register for either activity. On the second tour, once the driver came we ended up being rushed by the staff even though we were 5 minutes early and that was even though we were not on the driver's list making us doubt if we were even with the right organizer. After the second tour, we had to go to the office just to make sure where the pickup for the return trip was since there were no instructions and just basically had to wait 5 hours in a restaurant for the return bus since everything else was closed. All that considered, the straw that broke the camel's back was that, for the return trip, 5 of us were shoved in the almost full bus of a 1-day trip group instead of returning with our group, which meant we had to wait 45 minutes for them to take a break before leaving, could not choose our seats and had to split or bargain with other guest to sit together in a bus that was way worse than the one we came in. For almost 600$ this kind of service is unacceptable...
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we feel it is important to clarify several points mentioned in your review, as many of the concerns raised were already clearly explained in the detailed itinerary and information sent to you by email prior to the tour. Regarding the transportation, due to an unexpected last-minute mechanical service issue with one of our branded coaches during a very busy operational period, a replacement coach was used. This is why the bus did not display our company branding. Nevertheless, all passengers were checked through the reservation lists before departure. Concerning the activities, the itinerary description clearly explains that the second day includes the option to choose between the Meteora Hiking Tour or the Meteora Half-Day Sightseeing Tour. Detailed information for both experiences is provided in advance. We are therefore surprised by the claim that there was no information available. Additionally, there is no 70% overlap between the tours. The sunset tour and the second-day experiences are designed to be complementary. They include different monasteries, different panoramic viewpoints, and entirely different experiences. In particular, the hiking tour accesses hidden trails and locations that are impossible to reach by vehicle. Regarding the hotel transfer confusion, it is also important to clarify that you had selected the “without hotel” option. In such cases, guests are required to provide the exact accommodation or drop-off location details to our transfer staff upon arrival in Meteora. Unfortunately, the incorrect location information provided at that moment caused the confusion and delay with the transfer. Finally, we are genuinely surprised by the overall characterization of the experience, especially considering that thousands of travelers across multiple international platforms consistently rate this exact organization and itinerary exceptionally highly. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving our operations. Kind regards, Visit Meteora Team
Everything is good except after you finish your activities in the second day you have to wait 3 hours before they transfer you back to Athen
Thank you for your review and feedback! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the overall experience in Meteora. Regarding the waiting time before the return transfer to Athens, we intentionally design the schedule to offer guests some extra free quality time at the destination. This gives travelers the opportunity to walk around the small town and villages, visit a local museum, enjoy an extra activity, relax at a café, or shop for souvenirs before departing. Many visitors actually stay in Meteora for 3–4 days, as the area is a large UNESCO Geopark with much more to explore beyond the monasteries alone. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in Meteora!
Spectacular tour with great guides. Highly recommend the hiking option; its a relatively easy 7km hike that has some of the most beautiful viewpoints I've seen. A magical region with deep history, and a charming town in the shadows of the rocks.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review, Chris! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the 2-day Meteora experience and that the hiking tour became such a memorable part of your trip. The trails around Meteora truly offer some breathtaking viewpoints, and we are happy you had the chance to experience the magic of the landscape up close. It’s also great to hear that you appreciated the guides, the rich history of the area, and the charming atmosphere of Kalambaka beneath the towering rocks of Meteora. Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Meteora in the future for even more adventures and hidden paths to explore! Best regards, Visit Meteora Team
