The trip to Delphi and Meteora was fantastic with a fabulous guide a real character also the hotel was fantastic.. I give the trip five stars. The bus trip back is long but if you want to see fabulous sights thats what you have to do. The staff at Chat tours are profesional and reply promptly to emails. Dont miss this trip. The people of Greece are lovely dont let the strikes etc put you off we walked through a demonstration and the people where great.
Service was excellent and Meteora monestaries absolutely gorgeous
We really enjoyed the trip which also included a stop at Delphi, the Temple of Apollo. We had 2 tour guides. The first took us through the Delphi site, and then we continued with a second guide to Meteora. Both were very informative, and we especially enjoyed Janus who took the group to Meteora. He had a great sense of humor, as well as a lot of great detail on the monasteries. The logistics of transferring between these 2 groups were handled very well. Our overnight accommodation and meals were also nice. We chose the 1st class hotel which was comparably priced with the 2nd class accommodations with other tour companies. This included a nice pool and 2 great meals.
We went with our teenage daughter and we had some initial doubts as to whether the overall tour group would work for her. But, there were quite a few families, also with teenagers, and we found the group to be a lot of fun. Also, by contacting Viator directly, you can get a triple room, which is less costly.
This is one of the highlights of my trip!!! Until you actually see the monasteries, it's hard to imagine how they were built. Our guide was wonderful and offered a succinct explanation of the things we saw in the monastery. One should definitely take this trip.
Both Delphi and Meteora was amazing although little bit upset with the tour guide for Delphi. I'm really glad I did Delphi twice since the second time we spent more time there. We didnt get to see the bottom part of Delphi and only were given an hour to see site with the guide. Again comparing the two tours, I think it was just that the tour guide for my other tour was better. Still this tour had great accommodation and the guide for meteora was really good aswell.
Meteora is AMAZING! This is a MUST DO! the bus trip is lengthy however it is definitely worth the trip. The tour guide was very friendly and informative. The accomodation overnight was suitable. The visit to Delphi along the way was brilliant. It was really good that the bus did stop regularly to break up the length of the trip.
Meteora was amazing and beautiful. Tour was great, and our guide was wonderful too.
The hotel we stayed at in Kalambaka was very nice and had a wonderful dinner buffet included. It was nice to see the Greek country side on our trip from Athens. Enjoyed this trip very much. This was the first time I used Viator and was very pleased with the ease of booking on line and the service provided. Will use Viator again.
It was great. Very good track. Especially meteora.
Greek society with the driver and the guide are excellent. The hotel selected is a high level, along with providing meals perfectly.
Every time I choose to stroll through the Viator I get the best.
We loved the trip to Meteora, our guide Irini was the best guide I have ever had. She was proud of Greece and it's treasures and described them with poet's phrases. She directed us to the most delicious home cooked meal I had in Greece. The hotel was quiet, first class and was built in the style of a monastery. Perfect !
Everything worked just fine. I had read the reviews so I took a snack because lunch was at 4 pm. We had a wonderful time at Delphi and Meteora. Nothing to complain.
This was a great tour. We got a solid visit at Delphi. I did not stick with the guide, but explored the site on my own, though, or I would have only seen half of it. The museum is not included for folks going to Meteora, so in that sense the visit was rushed, but that was expected. We also stopped at Thermopolis, famous for the Spartan 300 battle vs the Persians.
Our hotel near Meteora was nice and the food good, but it was well outside of town, a bit disappointing as I had planned to explore Kalambaka when we got there. Instead I took a walk thru the nearby village of Theopetra, not at all touristy, a sample of a real Greek village.
Morning we toured two of the monasteries of Meteora. Nicely paced, plenty of time, stops for views, etc. Fantastic, spectacular site, even with overcast skies.
Lunch in town then back to Athens.
Check the map - it is a long drive, so you will spend plenty of time on the bus between Athens and Meteora, but there's some spectacular scenery in places, and it was a chance to see parts of Greece I otherwise would have missed.
All in all a very good tour.
The tour was well arranged by Chat tours who are very reliable and keep to their commitments. Remembered pick up although booking was done online some time ago. The guides were very knowledgable and informative and the drivers are good driving up the mountainous terrain. Also good buses, time management and hotels. Enjoyed the Trip and would recommend it to other tourists.
Meteora was breathtaking! I have seen many beautiful places around the world, but this is just special. Not just the view, but the whole experience and atmosphere. Thanks to and Leila (our guide) the trip was informative, friendly, our stay was comfortable and all at an affordable price.
We had a wonderful trip. The guide was great and the driver was the best!! This trip was money well spent. More emphasis should be put on the fact that women must have a skirt that goes below the knees to enter the churches.
Great tour with beautiful views! Although many of the monasteries have cable cars going to them, you only go to two monasteries. The first you access by a bridge, but the second is accessed by 150 stairs which doesn't sound like a lot until you are walking up all of them. Even though we were told that men wearing shorts will not be allowed access to the monasteries there were still a dozen or so who were allowed inside while wearing shorts. However, women MUST wear a dressskirt, but they also provide them there is you don't have one or forgot. Also, the trek to the top of Delphi is a steep and slippery one. You should definitely wear sneakers!
