Excellent experience
Very good experience. Guide was extremely good in explaining the history and gave ample time to visit the places. Thanks a lot.
A great experience in Meterora
We visited the Meteora on April 24, 2019 with guide Katherina and her driver Kostas. We enjoyed the experience not only because of the spectacular landscapes and the centuries-old history of the monasteries, but also because of Katherina's explanations and the delicate attention she paid to each of our group members. A must do do during your trip in Greece !!
Incredible Viewpoints
Though this is quite the journey from Athens to Kalampaka by train, the tour is totally worth it! Eva was an amazing guide - very knowledgeable, energetic and friendly. The views and history are unmatchable and worth taking the time. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen!

Stancante ma ne valeva la pena

A long day but so worth it
There is a five hour train ride EACH WAY (the struggle was real) so make sure to grab a snack at the Everest in the train station before you board. I had our tickets downloaded to my phone which was fine but they recommend that you print your ticket. I’d do it before you come, there are internet cafes but printing at home can save you the hassle. We got the Class A Tickets which were nice since we were in a private car with only six seats. The cabin did fill up on the way back but on the way there about half way through the trip we had the cabin to ourselves. You are riding the train until ,what was for us, the last stop, that station is called Kalambaka or Καλαμπάκα and should be written on the train ticket, There wasn't anyone to tell us when to get off but we figured it out pretty easily by the amount of people (I think literally every one left on board) getting off and the tour buses parked by the station. The bathroom at the station was an adventure in itself and one I would never like to repeat.
Even with the craziness of the train ride the tour was so worth it. The Monasteries are magnificent and the amount of history and information the tour guide knows is impressive. The bus was spacious air conditioned and water was provided as well as a meal if you pay extra otherwise there was a snack cart outside the first monastery There is a three euro entrance fee for the monasteries and for women you will need to grab a long skirt which is provided. After the tour we had a little time before the train left to go get food from the grocery store, café, BBQ place that were near the station.
The taxi situation at the train station in Athens was a headache for us, I would recommend scheduling a pick up if you can.
"Super"
