5Great informative tour … beautiful sunset
Nikolas was a great guide who ensured we all had the experience and questions answered that we needed. He was extremely caring especially as my husband had a fall leaving our accommodation and he was so considerate of his wellbeing
5Terrific!
Our guide, Nikolas was top notch! So knowledgeable about the area, history and the monastery. He was very fun as well and wanted to make sure we all had the best experience. George was a terrific driver! It’s no joke driving those roads and navigating the traffic!

Sunset tour was fun and easy. Hotel pickup was prompt. Maria was a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. The driver George made stops easy so we didn't have to worry about navigating and parking.
5Small group tour to watch the sunset.
Tour picked us up from the hotel. Small minibus. Very comfortable. Gave us a bottle of cold water. Guide (christo) was very well informed and took us to some great spots to take photos. We spotted wild tortoises on the trip too. Great trip, would highly recommend. Fantastic memories.

About Meteora
Meteora is a UNESCO site in central Greece where Orthodox monasteries stand on tall pillars of rock above the Thessalian plain.
Meteora is a forest of sandstone and conglomerate pillars, some hundreds of metres high, rising abruptly from the plain of Thessaly beside the town of Kalambaka. From the fourteenth century monks built monasteries on the summits, reaching them at first by ladders and rope nets, and six are still active. The Great Meteoron, Varlaam and Roussanou are among them, with frescoed chapels and views down the Pineios valley.
