Guides such as Anastasia, Clement, Nancy, and Christos have received especially warm praise, though the long return-day wait requires planning.

“The monasteries of Meteora are gorgeous witnesses to the ingenuity and faith of the monks and nuns who settled there. The rock formations are majestic and awe inspiring. The frescoes of the biblical stories, the history of Christianity, and Greek Orthodox traditions are stunning. We visited 4 of the six remaining monasteries and walked to to the caves where the monks lived before the monasteries were built. Chris and Nikolas were knowledgeable and engaging. It would have been helpful to have the entire travel details including the return time to Athens. It was a surprise to learn that although the second tour ended at 1:30 pm our departure wasn't until…”

One day in Meteora is definitely not enough, there’s truly so much to explore and learn. Every monasteries has its own beauty and intricacies and we were so thankful to have covered four! (Since we went in Feb, one was closed for restoration but it was all okay) There’s so much history behind the place to learn and this was all perfectly explained by our guide, Nikolaos.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 65 reviews · from $292

Travel from Athens to Delphi and Kalambaka, then visit Meteora’s cliff-top monasteries with an English-speaking guide. The package includes a four-star hotel, dinner, breakfast, entrance fees, porterage, and Wi-Fi. Guides such as Effie and George have earned praise for clear historical commentary.

“Going to Meteora and Delphi must be done by tour/coach… and what Chatours have organised on your behalf, is both adequate and delivers on a trip to the monasteries with interesting commentary and thoughtful logistics. The ‘but’ only exists because it’s not my preferred means of travel, and to get to the rocks, it must be done via tour bus. The Amalia hotel had a great pool, so go there soon as you arrive. The buffet is ok, but like the hotel itself, it’s a little tired. If you’re on the fence about booking, choose Chat or Key because they both offer and deliver on the same thing, and you…”

He was the best guide one can wish for: very nice, attentive, deeply knowledgeable about the history and geology of this place. He did a great job making the group feel at ease. I'd recommend this hike! The other half days was mainly.on the bus and visiting a monastery. It was good too, but the hike was definitely the highlight for me.”
