We purchased the tour directly from the Meteora Thrones website, and the confirmation with all the details and information arrived in our email incredibly fast, providing a great sense of security.
We opted for the one-day Meteora tour in English with a train, but due to significant floods in Athens, the journey was made by bus. All of this was explained perfectly in the email. Although the trip was long, it would have been the same duration if taken by train. The good part was that the bus was very comfortable and new, equipped with WiFi (which worked quite well) and USB ports to charge our phones. This was super useful as it's a long day filled with activities and photo opportunities, and you wouldn't want to run out of battery.
The tour itself was fantastic, with breathtaking views, especially on the exceptionally beautiful day we had. The three monasteries we visited were incredible, especially the first two. Keep in mind that the choice of when to take the tour matters, as some monasteries have specific days when they are closed. A heads-up is that there are dress codes to follow for entry, something that is also detailed in the email.
Our guide Maria spoke perfect English, was super friendly, and provided a lot of information and explanations throughout the tour. Moreover, the timing was perfect to reach a beautiful point in Meteora for the sunset.
Highly recommend this tour; we enjoyed it immensely.
