Enjoyable beautiful day trip

4.00This trip is great there are some areas of rough ground which require good footwear. Also so steep downhill walking with semi formed steps which will require balance and the ability to slide on your bum and get back up again. Enjoyable though just make sure you have sprayed to avoid bites!!
Great day

4.00The tour was really good but some suggested changes (which I admit may not be practical): - If the stop at the waterfall could be towards the end of the trip it’s likely more people would swim since the day would be warmer (and so would we!) - The second part of the hike was indeed challenging (and I am in pretty good hiking shape). For folks uncertain on their feet or with balance issues, it was not pleasant. Perhaps make it more clear in the description. - we could have used more time at Dion and the Information Center With all that said, it was a wonderful day and Eva did a great job. I would definitely recommend, but would warn about the hike.
Worth it

5.00Guide was dynamic, knowledgeable, kind, patient, present, only positive words to say about her. High quality, she was so kind that I will miss her. The short hike on Mt Olympus was just right and gave the flexibility to stay at the waterfall, time in Dion was just enough, the exhibition at the natural center was perfect and informative, we had a very nice day
Well worth it

5.00Sisi was our guide who was very knowledgeable and encouraging. The coach was comfortable with air conditioning and left on time. We had enough time to visit the waterfall/pool, hike Mount Olympus, visit the church, visit Dion and the museum before having a hearty lunch. We arrived back ahead of schedule in time for a night out in Thessaloniki
Great tour, get to...
