About this experience
Our first stop is at historical Thermopylae! Paying tribute to King Leonidas of Sparta and his 300 Spartan warriors we will visit the amazing monument of his statue which is captivating! Next stop breathtaking Meteora! Meteora is considered one of the most beautiful areas of mainland Greece and its hanging monasteries are one of the country’s most unique attractions. The monasteries are perched on top of towers of sandstone, which for centuries provided totally inaccessible retreats for the monks. They are built on top of rock towers and they provide fantastic views over the plain. The Meteora Monasteries themselves, besides providing incredible views are full of religious treasures, wall paintings, icons and libraries rich in old manuscripts. Everyday, innumerable visitors gather here from all four corners of the world to meditate and pray. The fascinating landscape was used when filming the Bond film “For Your Eyes Only” (Holy Trinity Monastery).

Meteora with Yannis!
We had an absolutely fantastic time with Yannis. We had done the Corinth tour with Yannis 2years ago and really enjoyed our time with him as a guide. He took the time to explain Greek history to us and was very patient with my 4 young kids. At that time had mentioned this Meteora trip to us. So when we had the chance to return to Greece we made sure that we booked Yannis again! And this tour did not disappoint! Wow! We have travelled to all 7 continents and have been to many beautiful places all over the world and this has become of our most favourite places that we’ve visited. Yet again, Yannis made sure that this trip was memorable and always ensured that we were safe and enjoying our time while avoiding crowds when possible. He made sure that we were well informed of all the places that we stopped or even drove by. His love for the history of Greece is obvious. And he knew when to teach and when to let just us enjoy the views or the experience. Thank you Yannis! Until next time.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family had another fantastic experience with Yannis, this time in Meteora. It’s amazing to know that even after traveling all over the world, Meteora has become one of your favorite places — and that Yannis helped make it so memorable. He truly loves sharing Greece’s history while making sure everyone enjoys the views and experiences at their own pace. We can’t wait to welcome you back for your next adventure in Greece! Thank you for booking with us. All the best to your family! George & the AGT Team

Group tour of Greece including Athens, Corinth, Meteora and more
Incredible tour with fantastic views. The bus driver makes stops whenever our group needs a break or items from the city. George is so friendly and generous, even distributing free water instead of making us go buy our own.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted you enjoyed the incredible views across Athens, Corinth, Meteora, and beyond. We appreciate your kind words and would love to welcome your group back for another adventure anytime! – The Team at AGT

Meteora and The Hot Gates
Yannis, our guide was a wealth of knowledge. As a history fan soaking up his broad and in depth stories and narrative made our tour so much more interesting and informative. "Oh by the way, Alexander brought his army down this road. ". We enjoyed great local restaurants that he recommended to fit our requests as well. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that Yannis’ rich storytelling and deep historical insights made your journey through Meteora and Thermopylae even more captivating. It’s fantastic to hear that his recommendations added to your experience, making it both immersive and enjoyable. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation! Warm regards from Athens and the team at AGT.

Fun time at Meteora
We loved the tour very much. Our guide Tas was very knowledgeable and allowed us to really take in the experience. We had enough time to enjoy landscape, sights, and food. He was great in explaining everything to us. He also took great pictures of us and described each of them. I would highly recommend this tour.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Day Private Tour of Meteora & Thermopylae From Athens: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does 2 Day Private Tour of Meteora & Thermopylae From Athens cost?
+
Prices start at $153 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Day Private Tour of Meteora & Thermopylae From Athens take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is 2 Day Private Tour of Meteora & Thermopylae From Athens worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day Private Tour of Meteora & Thermopylae From Athens?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 72 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Day Private Tour of Meteora & Thermopylae From Athens suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Day Private Tour of Meteora & Thermopylae From Athens?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Day Private Tour of Meteora & Thermopylae From Athens start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
