He was very friendly, was local so knew the area very well and answered all our questions exceptionally. The pick-up & drop-off service from our hotel was very convinient. I would also like to mention that meteora trip organised the excusion as scheduled even through it was only for us (2 people).This is NOT a repeat of the Monastery Tour.

You get totally different views and get to experience being in and near the caves. Water and an extremely knowledgeable guide are provided. Make sure you have hiking shoes and are able willing to hike up some rocky areas and stairs. We did this as a group of 8 several 50 year olds and teens from 13 to 17. All of us loved it, we felt we got a much fuller experience of Meteora.A lot of historical information during the hike 🙏❤️ The guide is excellent, show us interesting perspective and trials of Meteora

This is the best thing we did in Meteora!! So much better than just visiting the monasteries!! If you like to hike: this tour is for you!!! The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the both the geological origins of the area and the history of the monasteries. He helped us determine which monasteries to visit the next day and even where to eat dinner. He went over and above to assure that our entire stay was enjoyable. Not just the 4 hours he spent with us on the tour.Despite my hotel being not on the map, Nicolas picked me up bright and cheery! I ended up being the only one on the tour which made it super surreal!

Despite my hotel being not on the map, Nicolas picked me up bright and cheery! I ended up being the only one on the tour which made it super surreal! We hiked at a perfect pace, passing in between the towering rocks while stopping for the most incredible views. Nicolas was the best tour guide. Made sure I was doing alright, taking care of my safety while also pushing the boundaries with crazy cliff edge experiences. Plus he was very knowledgeable and was open to any conversation or any questions. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. If you enjoy nature and the beauty of Greece without the hustle bustle, you will LOVE THIS.A worthwhile trip to see Meteora in another light! The hike was very well planned and well organized. Nicholas our guide was fantastic; patient, knowledgeable, earnest, good fun. Highly recommended. Wear good shoes.
