Had an amazing day with Ilias, who were our private driver and guide! He showed us some incredible monasteries and beautiful views. The long train ride from Athen was definitely worth it! A very memorable trip.
“Perfect day that exceeded expectations and flawless”
Amazing overall
This was one of the best tours I've ever done. The tour guide and the driver were very kind, enthusiastic, and knowledgable. It was the perfect balance of taking pictures, history, and sightseeing. I would recommend this as a must-do trip for anyone!

Fun trip!
My family did not have much time in athens but we still wanted to see meteora, so we took out one day to go. They have you take the 7am train into the city that meteora is by (4 hour train from athens one way) and they meet you at the end location. I would recommend getting the first class tickets if you can since it is not that much more expensive and you get a private 6 person room. Also, make sure you get to the train station early because there is only one train in and one train out every day. Because of the limited trains, (at least in may when we did the tour) the schedule is pretty limited and felt a little rushed.
The first thing theybdid was bring us to a small restaurant to grab lunch - they gave us 10 minutes. We got one of each of their options, a cheese pie, spinach pie, and cold turkey sandwich. THE SPINACH PIE WAS SO DELICIOUS I WOULD RECOMMEND GETTING THAT ONE FOR SURE. They did a very good job bringing us to the best veiws, and also brought us to some monasteries. We were allowed to go to 2, we had 45 min at the first location and 25 min at the second location. Personally i thought the view was much more breathtaking than the actual monasteries were so we only went in the first one. At the same time it would have also been nice if we had more time to explore the monastery, maybe just picking one place and spending more time at that location would have made the trip feel better. Our guide also gave us a lot of information and history of the site! It was very educational :)
At the end of the day they dropped us off with about 1.5 hours before our train took off to give us time to eat and relax, i thought it would have been better if the tour ran a little longer to give us more time, but it was really nice to have the time to ourselves to enjoy the city and get dinner before heading back. Overall, i think if you have more time i would try to do a 2 day trip. But if youre short on time like i was i would recommend this trip as it was very comprehensive !
IMPERDIBLE!!!!
Es fácil tomar el tren con destino a Kalambaka, se recomienda tomar el de las 8 am y también recomiendo alojar en Kastraki para así alcanzar a ver varios monasterios y regresar al día sgte, todos los taco tienen tarifas estándar, recomiendo bajar a pie ya que las vistas y fotografías que se pueden lograr son impresionantes, de verdad es uno de los lugares más bellos que he visitado en mi vida !
Vues et photos magnifiques
La guide était drôle, sympathique et parlait plusieurs langues et le conducteur a pris plusieurs photos pour moi, de très bonnes photos même.
