Reviews

We had an amazing time hiking to the Meteora monasteries. The local guide gave us a lot of interesting information, not only about the monasteries, but also about the surrounding nature and Greece in general. We were picked up and dropped of at the hotel. We highly recommend this experience to everyone who wants to get the maximum out of his Meteora visit.

It was really worth the trip! Meteora is a beautiful place with breathtaking views, and the guide gave us a lot information about the monastaries and its history. The tour stops at 3 monastaries that you can visit inside.

Fantastic tour and service!!! Since the first email, they took care about everything, information, continue updates, whatsapp line, really impressed. The tour was very good, the hotel for the night stay was amazing. I’d do it again.

Meteora is just beautiful! And Meteoratrip company made our experience even better. The guide was very sympathetic and the trip by mini-bus allowed us to visit everything in a short slot of time. I highly recommend

Really nice tour. We were picked up from our accommodation by a modern van. The tour guide was really knowledgable. During the tour we stopped at many places to take pictures. I would definitely recommend this tour.
