The tour was very well...
The tour was very well organized. The guides are very knowledgeable and helpful. The tour covered almost everything in Meteora. The hotel stay was excellent, with a great breakfast. I highly recommend this tour.

Breathtaking and well organised!
This is a must do activity from Athens and definitely better to do the two days. Exceptional value for money!
via Viator
A fabulous adventure
I presume they would know about the number of stairs and the dress code for the monasteries. One of the hotel choice is within walking distance of the town. Very nice cozy and quiet stay there.

Meteora trip 2026
Unforgettable experiences. Amazing trip highly recommended. Accommodation was very comfortable and relax. I would not skip this trip if you are visiting Athens. The only minor thing is the logistics (transportation) is a bit unorganized. Small bus and then big buses. In my opinion much tjme is wasted moving people around. Other than that is was wonderful trip

Cannot miss Meteora.
This two day trip was amazing. I did Athens to Meteora and back to Athens over two days. The crew was absolutely friendly, have thought of every requirement and very well cordinated. I did not have any challenge throughout the trip. The only problem i noticed was there was additional trips planned by some people which i dint find in my option. Hence i couldn't book for the additional trip and had already made my booking in Athens. Would have loved to continue.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Athens: Meteora 2-Day Tour Sunset & Morning Small Group + Hotel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens: Meteora 2-Day Tour Sunset & Morning Small Group + Hotel cost?
+
Prices start at $137 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 Athens: Meteora 2-Day Tour Sunset & Morning Small Group + Hotel 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 Athens: Meteora 2-Day Tour Sunset & Morning Small Group + Hotel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 228 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Athens: Meteora 2-Day Tour Sunset & Morning Small Group + Hotel?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Athens: Meteora 2-Day Tour Sunset & Morning Small Group + Hotel 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 Athens: Meteora 2-Day Tour Sunset & Morning Small Group + Hotel?
+
Around 80 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 Athens: Meteora 2-Day Tour Sunset & Morning Small Group + Hotel 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 Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. 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.
