Super recommended meteor

Sandra_B, Sep 2025
Excellent visit to 3 monasteries in Meteora with the guide Rula, very friendly and knowledgeable of the subject. The beautiful landscapes, a bit hard walk to get to the first monastery but worth it because it is very cute and interesting. A long day but the bus is comfortable and worth it.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

¡Muchas gracias por tu valoración! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de los monasterios, de los paisajes y de la compañía de nuestra guía Rula. Efectivamente, la subida al primer monasterio puede ser un poco exigente, pero como mencionas, la recompensa vale la pena. Agradecemos también tu comentario sobre la comodidad del bus. Esperamos volver a darte la bienvenida en Meteora en el futuro para seguir descubriendo juntos este lugar único.

Excelente experiencia

El tour nos gustó mucho porque los paisajes y la historia de los monasterios son muy interesantes. Nick, nuestro guía en español fue muy profesional. Nuestro grupo fue pequeño. Desafortunadamente todavía no han reparado la vía férrea para llegar en tren y nos tocó en bus.

Intensa pero bella

ELVIA_R, May 2024
Las vistas a los Monasterios son hermosos. Yo creo q si hubiera sido el viaje x tren como originalmente lo anunciaron sería formidable . Nos tocó irnos en autobús y fue realmente cansado
