Meteora Day Trip by Train from Athens

Tour guide Maria was amazing and was funny and Informative. The bus ride is beautiful but long. Definitely worth it to see the meteora. One of the most magical experiences

This should of been an excellent tour with Maria our tour guide. However, Keytour's decided that rather than keep the numbers small (the description says a minibus) they would book as many people as possible and use a full-size coach. This resulted in a huge amount of lost time getting in and out of the coach and finding missing members of the tour. We did have much time in the monasteries or any free time in the town. Don;t get me wrong both our driver and guide were amazing but Keytour's greed ruined a good ay out (again).

Meteora is a beautiful part of Greece. However, it really wasn’t for us as we have mobility issues. Your information did not indicate that it was a physically challenging tour. We should also should have been told that good walking shoes are needed. Some didn’t bring good shoes. Finally your tour guide was excellent as was the bus driver!

Absolutely stunning place and worth the four hour train journey, but be prepared to climb a lot of steps especially at the first monastery, but so worth it

The excursion I had originally booked was cancelled last minute so I had a choice, do nothing so close to my birthday or go see a bunch of monasteries. I think I made the best choice 😆. It's probably something I wouldn't have chosen for myself, but that's why I love travelling, I get to have new and different experiences. The tour consisted of history and various facts both vast and interesting. The question you really want to know is, would I recommend this tour, I would recommend if anything you get to see another part of Greece, do something different, and you’re if anything like me, you can put a pin in your map, and say I've been there. The main downside was time, we packed a lot in one day, and by the end, you are feeling it, and all you wanted to do is sleep, We had to take a 5 hour each way train, (the tickets will be sent to you by email) fortunately, or unfortunately, the train journey back was slightly longer, as more people get on the train, so you have plenty of time to sleep. I also wished I had more time in the main town we drove through, you know, to get some souvenirs, sit down, relax, and eat some food without feeling rushed. I kept checking my phone, because I thought that I was going to miss the train, and be stuck hours away from where I meant and wanted to be, unable to get back, without ordering one of the most expensive Uber rides ever, plus going off of the number of people on the train, on the way back to Athens, this was likely the last train of the night. Extra tip: Download a movie or something, the connection on the train is trash, and I don’t even remember if the train has Wi-Fi. If all else fails, just listen to music.

Excellent tour. Hard-working driver and guide made this over the top. If you want a change of pace from ancient ruins, these monasteries are incredible. Just one complaint. Tour company reserved train tickets for you. They didn't book in time to get first class tickets and the tickets they bought had to be e the worst on the train. Last row in front of partition so upright/no recline and limited leg room for 4 hour trip.

It was a memorable trip. Definitely worth the 8 hour trip in total. The guide was very friendly and informative! 5 stars

It was a great trip covering the main attractions and monasteries from Meteora. Maria, the guide was excellent and friendly. The kids got a bit tired at the end, but it was a great trip overall.

Fantastic day out. Trip from Athen was kind of confusing finding the platform. Once we arrived everything was perfect. The tour guide was amazing and we had plenty of time to see the Monasteries. Word of caution. There are a lot of steps to climb for the first two Monasteries. All in all was a great experience and is a must see when visiting Greece.

It was a very good trip with excellent guide and driver. The trip advertised as a small group with a van; instead we were in a full bus.
