5.00Our group was comparably small, so the initial hike was very enjoyable. Unfortunately, we got a bit unlucky with the weather at Dion and litochoro. Nevertheless the views of Mount Olympus were stunning, And the tour was a lot of fun. Yannis was a great guide. He shared with us a lot of knowledge and his personal experiences about Mount Olympos and the region. The tour lasted from 8am to 5.30 pm.

5.00This is a part of Greece my wife and I have always wanted to see and we were not disappointed. What helped make this trip so special was the guide, Eva, who besides being very knowledgeable, also has one of the most pleasant voices on the planet. She obviously loves being a guide and meeting/dealing with a bus load of strangers. She makes everyone feel special.
Highly recommended.

5.00It was a very well organized trip. The guide was Eva. She has excellent knowledge of history, explains everything clearly, and gave us a lot of useful touristy tips . We hiked twice and visited upon amazing scenery on Mt. Olympus. We also visited Dion.
Great tour of the highlights of the Mt.Olympus region

5.00This is a great tour to get a flavour of all aspects the Mt. Olympus National Park region in one day. Our tour was lead by Eve who was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly; we were well looked after throughout the trip. The bus pick-up was close to several hotels near to Aristoelous Square, and Eve explained the history and culture of the area as we drove between the sites. The itinerary was well described on the booking site, and notes the additional fees for the museum, as well as giving clear advice on what to bring, etc. The scenery was breathtaking and the history and culture equally fascinating. My only wish is to have had longer to appreciate each stop - each of the four places would be well worth a day trip individually. So this tour is a good way to scout locations for future visits, or to take in the highlights if you gave limited time. Swimming at Agia Kora was very special - but be warned the water can be very cold! Overall, I certainly recommend this tour.
