Tour de Descoberta da Paisagem e Patrimônio de Meteora em 2 Dias

Slightly behind and opposite Larissa Station. There was plenty of space for luggage, and after a 30-minute break at a rest stop, we arrived at Meteora. We checked into a 3-star hotel around 1 PM, started our afternoon itinerary at 3 PM, and after a sunset tour and drop-off, day 1 concluded. Day 2 started at 8:50 AM, visiting three monasteries, and finished just before 1 PM. We had free time until our hotel pickup at 5:30 PM. During this time, the hotel staff were incredibly kind, storing our luggage and allowing us to wait in the lobby. This tour took care of us until the very end, and there were no issues whatsoever! It might be difficult to understand the explanations if you don't speak English.

On Day 1, our guide from Toronto was very good. (I forgot his name after so many days) He speaks perfect English and I think Greek as well. He’s a professional photographer and guide. He explains everything clearly and is able to answer all our questions. On the hiking tour, our guide is an energetic young man. I cannot spell his name sorry. He takes care of everyone and he is really good at herbs, history and geology. It’s a bit tiring but it’s worth it.

Meteora 2-day tour, including 1 night accommodation with breakfast. It's as fulfilling as combining two tours into one. You get to visit 5 monasteries and pass by 1. The bus picked us up early in the morning on the street in front of Athens train station. We started touring in the afternoon of the first day. The minivan was a bit small, making it difficult to get in and out, but the views made us forget our fatigue. On the second day, we toured for half a day, seeing everything, and then had free time before waiting for the bus back to Athens.

A very fruitful and valuable tour!! Everything was smooth in the traffic and the tours! It included two tours in Meteora! We had a super nice guide, Clement in our sunset tour! So informative and we got to know more about the places we visited! On the second day we also had another tour visiting three monasteries! But as there has lots to look at, these were a bit rush..

No es necesario elegir el hotel de 4 estrellas. No vale la pena, el baño estaba roto. El primer guía turístico en el tour al atardecer, Clement, hizo un trabajo realmente excelente, tenía información detallada y explicaciones. Todavía recomiendo unirse a este tour. Vale la pena ver Meteora.

The scenery of Meteora is truly beautiful. The female tour guide on the first day interacted with everyone and provided very detailed introductions. The male tour guide on the second day was like an audio guide, thoroughly describing the characteristics of each monastery. The itinerary had plenty of free time; we departed from Athens early on the first day, arrived in Kalambaka and checked in by noon, and only started the tour in the evening. On the second day, we toured in the morning, then had free time starting at noon, and took the bus back to Athens in the evening. The town here is very pretty, but it was really too hot in the summer, and most cafes didn't have air conditioning. The free time on the second day was quite challenging; I really wished we could have taken the bus back earlier...

The weather was great that day, and it wasn't too cold. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and the monasteries on the mountaintop seemed to float, creating a stunning visual. The guides for the two days were different. The first day's guide explained everything in great detail, and the information was very comprehensive. Since there were only six people in the entire group, there was ample time to visit each attraction. The only regret was that it was too cloudy at sunset, so we couldn't enjoy the spectacular view. The second day's half-day tour had more people, but still only a little over 10. The guide's introduction was simple, but we still managed to visit all six monasteries as planned. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that solo travelers are assigned a single room without any extra charge.

Un des meilleurs moments du voyage. Les vues étaient incroyables et les monastères bien entretenus. La ville est calme et relaxante. Certains produits alimentaires sont moins chers ici qu'à Athènes. Les guides étaient incroyables et nous avons réussi à visiter la plupart des monastères. Le guide a eu la gentillesse de nous déposer sur la route à côté de la Sainte Trinité pour que nous puissions faire la randonnée nous-mêmes. Portez de bonnes chaussures car les marches peuvent être glissantes.

Nice place, everything went smoothly.

A two-day trip is better than a one-day round trip, as there's no need to rush. You can see all six monasteries at once, and the itinerary is well-arranged. The transfer vehicle was also comfortable.
