This was such an amazing tour and totally made top of my list for my time in Greece 😍 We booked the 5.30pm Sunset Tour, and despite it being stinking hot, the walk under the trees definitely made it feel cooler. Evan was an awesome guide - he answered all of our questions and gave us so much insight into the history of the area, the monasteries and the hermits. The hike itself was medium-hard. 90% of it was pretty easy walking (quite steep but good footing). 10% was more of a steep scramble /climb over rocks (hence the ‘hard’ part). I did it in sneakers but would have preferred hiking boots for some of the slipperier parts. The views are absolutely breathtaking and although you end up super high up on a cliff top at the end, the walk itself never felt too steep (we stopped for lots of water breaks and information breaks). If you are planning on doing this hike, you definitely need lots of water and a hat, and good grippy walking shoes. You should also be comfortable walking up stairs / climbing up over a few rocks - probably wouldn’t recommend this for those that are scared of heights. We had a small group (5) which was perfect, and we didn’t really see anyone on the way up (until the end where there are quite a few bus loads of tourists watching the sunset - although you can still find a space away from the big groups for good photo ops and to watch the sunset in peace). I couldn’t recommend this tour enough - and it was especially great to do it on our first night in Kastraki as it gave us a feel for the area and we could then do our own hikes around the monasteries the next day (using meteora trails.gr). Thanks Evan so so much for such an incredible experience!!

This tour was excellent. It was a good overview of the central area and you get to see some monasteries from a distance. The more in depth look at the less talked about caves and the chapel in the wall were very cool. And the sunset at the end was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. There are a lot of uphill climbs, so be prepared with enough water. Combined with a separate hike to see some of the monasteries up close, this feels like a very good way to see most of what Meteora has to offer. I was here just on an overnight trip, and I felt very satisfied with what I got to see and experience. The even more exceptional part was Chris, my tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and very fun to hike with. He certainly elevated the whole experience

I really enjoyed my tour with Chris. He provided great company and conversation as well as explaining different things about Meteora that I didn't get from other tours. I walked at quite a fast pace so Chris made sure to show me a few extra spots that I hadn't seen yet.

I booked this hike for my family of 5 and we all agree it was one of our highlights from our trip to Meteora. A shout out to our guide Evan who was amazing and knowledgeable. He met us in Kastraki village and we started off the hike at an easy pace. Throughout the hike he made sure we were all doing well and he had great stories and information. The scenery was gorgeous and stunning, and the hike was challenging but totally worth it. I would recommend!

Our tour guide was very knowledgable, helpful and very pleasant. He explained to us the history of meteora, described the local plants and small animals (we saw lots of turtles) and took really good photos of us. My kids (teenagers) and I really enjoyed the hike. It is an excellent way to see Meteora. The hike is not difficult, although it has a couple of areas where you have to be more careful. I highly recommend this hiking tour.
