First of all, Meteora is just a big WOW. It is spectacular - not to be missed. Our tour consisted of visiting four of the six active monasteries and took the full 5 hours. Our guide Dimitrios has a very comfortable car and had an immense amount of knowledge that he shared with us about each of our stops as well as Greek Orthodox tradition and Greek mythology. He was engaging, funny, spoke loudly and clearly so we could all hear him in the car. He did not come in the monasteries with us, but gave us a overview before each stop and answered questions afterwards so we could visit at our leisure. He even gave us a stellar restaurant recommendation for lunch after our tour!

We missed our first tour on Friday as we missed the train from Athens to Kalabaka. We got it rescheduled for the next day. The tour was great, we loved our guide and our driver - they have shared great knowledge and insights about the area and monasteries. We got picked up at the station & had a bite to eat and drink at a local cafe, went through a few different towns on the way to Meteora which was stunning! A must see. We visited 2 monasteries and 1 nunnery. It was a great experience not only to see how they build the monasteries & see the monks but also a spiritual experience for those seeking for one. We were able to light candle and pray. The weather was great, we took great pictures and saw even more amazing views. Overall, one of the best things we have done while in Greece!
