Pretty good....I would recommend this tour. Our guide was Dimitri and he even took us to the Battle of Thermopylae memorial.....Dimitri spoke very good English which was helpful, and was quite knowledgeable about Greek history. A pleasure.

After reading many glowing reviews of excellent drivers who act as guides on the drive and discuss the history and significance of Meteora, my wife and I decided to book this excursion. The word "tour" is vastly misleading, as you're really only paying for a driver for the day, who won't enter the sites with you. We both tried to engage our driver in conversation about the site, life in Greece, even his favorite football team. His responses were short, and would immediately put his headphones back in to signal he didn't want to be interrupted. After seeing our driver was not interested in helping us learn more about the sites like so many other drivers for this excursion seemed to do, we decided to ask for the Wi-Fi information to do our own research. Our driver responded that there was no Wi-Fi for the trip but after pressing him further, he reluctantly called the operator, who instructed him to turn on his mobile hotspot for us to use. His hotspot only lasted 30 minutes, after which it was turned off for the duration of the trip. When we arrived at the site, one of the largest monasteries had switched to winter hours, and was closed for the day, which seemed to catch the driver by surprise. While we could've done more research ahead of time, clearly our trip wasn't planned well by the driver or operator. This information should be published on the booking page - that monastery hours vary, and depending on the season, some may be closed to the public. In hindsight, I should have been more skeptical of this "tour" - the page clearly states that guided tours are excluded, but I incorrectly assumed we'd have one of the same drivers mentioned in the other comments. Ultimately, the monasteries we did see were incredible and we very much enjoyed exploring the sites and taking in the scenery, but this ride was long and overpriced.

Being able to climb the steps to the monasteries at Varlaam, Rousanou, and St Stephens, and enjoy the view and the ambiance was gratifying. Our guide’s encouragement helped 😊. He is quite a history buff. We enjoyed the conversation with him. He is a foodie and even recommended local food we should try in our trips to other parts of Greece. Overall great experience. One suggestion would be to include a meal in the package.

Worth every penny! Our guide Theo was wonderful. He picked us up and n time from our hotel. The van was comfortable and he made the king day enjoyable. Meteora is a site I will never forget. It is spectacular and well worth the drive. We stopped at Thermopylae on the way back which my husband really wanted to see. Highly recommend.

Dimitri was an excellent driver, very friendly & answer all our questions. He also adjusted schedule for us to see 3 monasteries which gave enough time for the fog to lift & us enjoying the wonderful views of monasteries. Long day but well worth the experience of seeing the amazing Meteora.

Our driver did a great job explaining the history of the area and monasteries. His driving was excellent and the trip was well worth it

Great trip! Our group’s driver Theofilos got us from Athens to Meteora quickly and was clearly an expert at driving the route and guiding us to great spots for photos and experiences at the monasteries. The views were overwhelming. Theofilos then took us to the town square in Kalabaka and we enjoyed lunch and dessert before heading back. Great experience overall and the long drive was worth it!

Petros was an excellent driver and guide. He was very polite, entertaining and took good care of us. He knew so much about the monasteries and the best spots for photos. We enjoyed talking with him about life in Greece compared to the U.S. He provided superb advice on a restaurant for lunch. We are grateful! It was an amazing day!

Dimitri was an amazing host and guide. He accommodated my request to start early (5 AM) from Athens so that we arrived just before the monasteries opened (9 AM). This trip to Meteora should NOT be missed, and I definitely recommend getting there early before the crowds!! Loved the conversation on the ride to and from Athens as well. This was the highlight of my 9 days in Greece. Greatly exceeded my expectations! THANK YOU!!

This place is spectacular, both inside the monasteries and the views outside. Our driver peter was very professional and timely.

Drinking in the views!! Meteora is home to 6 UNESO World Heritage Site monasteries and nunneries precariously perched atop massive rock pillars. It was as breathtaking as I had imagined. The journeys these men took and labor of love to build these temples to God is incredible. It was so serene and the breeze was scented with Jasmine at monasteries due to the Jasmine trees! Our driver Petros was awesome! Because we left so early he stopped at a little coffee shop to get a snack. He was kind and professional! I highly recommend this tour!!!

Theo,our guide was exceptional, tour was unbelievable. Highly recommended breathtaking views. Hotel pick up and drop off was spot on perfect way to spend a day out of Athens.

We had great private driver for family trip to Meteora! He was very friendly and told us good background information on Meteora. He drove like an ace when rained and bad weather. Do yourself a favor and take private driver when go to Meteora - it saves lots of time!

Peter was a knowledgeable and friendly driver/guide. He was very flexible about which monasteries we wanted to visit and made the long drive more enjoyable by talking to us and playing music both that we requested and also introduced us to Greek pop music. This tour is well worth it!!

We had a great day with Petros! He was very professional, thoughtful, funny, and a great driver! And he went out of his way to pre-order our lunch in a lovely little outdoor restaurant because we were short on time. It’s a long day, but if you only have a day to visit Meteora, this is the way to do it. Otherwise, if you had more time, it might be more fun to stay the night in the lovely little town just below the monasteries.

One of the most impressive places I’ve seen !! The ride from Athens is a little long but it’s totally worth it. The monasteries are beautiful band the natural beauty of the area just takes your breath away !!

Peter was incredible and so informative. This tour was the only way it was possible to see Meteora in a day. so glad we did this!

This was absolutely an amazing experience. Lazos, our driver, was fantastic - he picked us up from our hotel on time and was very passionate about the tour. He made excellent food recommendations and stops along the way when needed. The trip to and from Meteora is 4 hours one way - the van was very comfortable and clean. Meteora itself was a breathtaking experience - not to be missed!!! I highly recommend this tour. They were easy to get a hold of and to communicate with.

It’s a beyond ordinary experience while in Greece. One of the most beautiful sceneries to see from Athens. However, I recommend getting a private tour for this one and not to choose the “ Meteora by train.” Having a private tour will save you a lot of time.

Peter was a terrific driver. He visited with us and was very knowledgeable about Greek history. He was on time and very personable. I reccomend this tour to anyone - just ask for Peter for a positive experience!
