Review of the Athens to Meteora day trip, with monastery visits, local guide, panoramic stops, Greek lunch, costs, and practical tips.

“The trip was really enjoyable and the itinerary was followed to the dot. While the journey is long, break is provided every couple of hours and it's a nice road trip in itself with scenic views. Meteora was definitely worth it with its awe inspiring unique views and adequate time was provided to explore and take photos along the way. Our guide Marie gave lot of details about the history, lifestyle and practices of the monasteries/monks in an engaging way which helped us appreciate the trip in a much better manner. Definitely recommend!Read more”

Review of a 14-hour Athens to Meteora tour with three monasteries, hermit caves, coastal stops, lunch options, and practical tips.

“The experience going to Meteora was great! Beware the bus ride is really, really long. We went when it was rainy and foggy but still were able to see 3 of the monasteries that were open. There are enough breaks to make sure you are ready to go when you get to Meteora. There were several food stops and as is typical Greek fashion, they made sure we were full and happy! Overall a great experience. Please be aware there is a lot of stairs to climb and that can be a harrowing experience on the side of some of those cliff top monasteries, especially if heights are not your…”

See Delphi and Meteora from Athens in two days, with guided ruins, two monasteries, hotel stay, meals, and comfortable coach travel.

“Our guide, Marianna was excellent! She knew the history and culture. She would tell us the stories of ancient times related to these areas. The bus driver Theodore drove with caution and experience. He checked traffic and changed course for the return trip to Athens. The stop at Delphi was perfect. Marianna took us through most of it then we had free time to explore or go to the Museum. The lunch restaurant the first day was wonderful and organized. The hotel was nice along with the provided dinner and breakfast buffets. The restaurant for the lunch stop for the return was terrible. The food was not very good and…”

“This was a spectacular experience! Both the driver and guide (Spiro and Emilia) were absolute professionals - experienced, friendly, fully prepared and organized, and they worked very well together. I always felt we were in capable hands, and I think Emilia must be a professional historian because her knowledge was extensive and she presented the material in very clear English. Both she and Spiro were attentive to any special needs and very conscientious in keeping track of us. It was a small group so we had a mini-coach - very comfortable and clean and smooth riding. The 3 hotels were all in the Amalia chain and I liked them very…”

See Meteora’s cliff monasteries and Badovas hermit caves on a long but rewarding Athens day trip with guides, transfers, and audio commentary.

“The monasteries were lovely but the tour company can’t be trusted. Our tour cost 3x the price of another tour but they merged them so we had the exact same experience with zero difference. When we asked them to refund the difference, they simply rejected it with no rationale. The bus was hot and uncomfortable and we were not transferred to a small group experience once we arrived in the town. It was unpleasant and not what we signed up for. The communication with Key Tours was not great. I wouldn’t trust them with a tour again based on our experience with many, many tour companies around the world including…”

Visit Meteora from Athens by coach, see hermit caves and two monasteries, enjoy optional Greek lunch, and get practical tips for this long day trip.

“This was a very good tour--well organized, on time and the guide Eva was great. I opted for the lunch for an extra 5 Euro. And it was a really great meal--a Greek Salad and then a choice from 9 different Greek main dishes, including a lot of meat dishes. But it's also a very long day, most of it spent on the bus. Probably not the right tour if you have just a few days in Athens. Pickup was at 7:10 am and we got back around 9:30 pm.”

Review of the 2-day Athens to Meteora tour, with sunset views, monasteries, caves, hotel stay, local guides, and practical tips.

“Our guide Vaso and Giannis were amazing. The guide provided us thorough explanation about each of the monasteries and made stops at the viewpoints throughout the tour to take photos. This was my second visit to Meteora, the first time on my own and this time on a tour, but I find it much more interesting and convenient with the tour. If you are planning to visit Meteora I would absolutely recommend this tour. I booked a budget option so I was not expecting much from the hotel, but the room was spacious and clean with a beautiful view of the rocks. There is about 5 hours of free time…”
