We had a toilet/coffee stop on the way there and back. Meteora had breathtaking views and we visited 2 of the monasteries there. Before departure to thessaloniki, we had food at the nearby village.”

Review of the 2-day Athens tour to Delphi and Meteora, with ancient ruins, cliff-top monasteries, meals, hotel details, costs, and practical tips.

“Definitely an unforgettable trip! From the bus ride itself—with an excellent vehicle and a guide who is highly knowledgeable about both the ancient Greco-Roman world and Orthodox Christianity, sharing important facts related to the places we pass by. The included hotels are excellent and punctual upon arrival (which may depend on traffic). Breathtaking landscapes and plenty of culture to absorb. I highly recommend it!”

“We booked 4-day small group tour. Everything was great. Found that we were mixed with 3-day customers. Okay. Seamless transition? No. Were handed off to another tour company with 4 large buses. Mostly not in English. Little personal attention & in depth commentary. So, not a small group tour. I reached out to CHAT tours and they never responded.”

Meteora Sunset with Monastery & Hermit Caves Tour in Small Group

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 706 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $36Top rated

Explore Meteora’s Saint Stephen Monastery, Byzantine church, hermit caves, and sunset viewpoints on a four-hour small-group tour.

“It helped us get oriented to the world of Meteora and gave us good information. It certainly made it convenient to see the sites. The guide was excellent. But it was way too long —- I understand that a “sunset tour” on June 17 will be late —- and I understand that the monastery closed at 5:00, so there’s not really any way around it. The stop at the Byzantine church in town was much much too long. I guess the ad should have been clearer about how long the tour actually was. We didn’t get back until 9:30. By then I didn’t care about Meteora at all anymore.”

“The trip to Delphi and Meteora was wonderful however, the operator (Chat) had un-optimized logistics, negatively impacting our trip benefits; from leaving late and shorten the visit to Delhi to 45 min to the bus with tinted windows that reflected posit side making taking pictures impossible, to longer than needed breaks to certain stops, the operator did not perform to expectations.”

From Athens: Meteora Monasteries and Hermit Caves Tour

14.Meteora Monasteries and Hermit Caves Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 498 reviews · from $65

Review of the Athens to Meteora day trip, covering monasteries, hermit caves, transport, lunch, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“A ton of information and a very beautiful and special place. Worth the long train ride for sure. I was looking to kind of venture off a bit so perhaps a guided tour wasn’t the way to go. But even so there was enough time to kind of walk around and do your own thing even at all the stops. If you’re looking to venture then I’d probably suggest just taking a car up and down. Otherwise if you want a tour and lots of great information about this amazing place. Then highly recommend. Very glad I went.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 484 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $36

Review of Meteora’s small-group hike, monastery visit, guides, price, fitness needs, dress code, transport, and practical booking tips.

“Loved the views, nature, all the stories Chris shared with us! My teenage daughter and I enjoyed every minute and every step of our tour. Some parts of the hike were intense for a mid-aged not in a great shape woman, but we stopped to rest and hear more stories or learn about plants and nature. Definitely worth the efforts! Highly recommend”
