Mount Olympus tour - This was an excellent tour. Damian is very knowledgeable with the information and shared a lot of the mythology. There are very few tour to Mount Olympus, and this one was fantastic.

Peak Perfection - The arrangements were very nicely done. From booking of train tickets to, arrangement of all the tours and transport. The guide, Damian, was very jovial and knowledgeable, a unique combination, and really educated us about the history of Mount Olympus. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, highly recommended.

Great host and plans for us to have the best time! - The train ride was fun and we made new friends on it. The train car restaurant has a humongous selection. Very smooth and fast ride. Because of its route we were able to get to Katerini one hour faster than by car. The tour guide, Damian, was extremely knowledgeable and took us to some off the beaten path locations along with the tourist ones. This was one of the two best days of the vacation!

A day to remember with the Gods - From the park to the mountain to the castle by the Aegean sea, the scenery and experience are nothing but mindbogglingly breathtaking. You walk through the ruins and great theatres of the ancients in Dion, visit the beautiful town of litochoro and march up the Natural Reserve of Mount Olympus to the Baths of Zeus before making it to the byzantine castle by the sea. The tour guide Damian did an amazing job sharing historical trivia and mythos, and he was an absolute champ all the way through helping with our dietary needs and photos and sharing great conversation.

More Mt. Olympus time desired. - If you main objective is Mt. Olympus, Ask yourself, is an 8+ hour train ride worth a 49 minute walk in a gorge at Mt. Olympus? Stunning site, but I wished more time was devoted to this marvel. Train tickets were received 1 day before the trip. Grab a bite to eat before you go. Lunch stop was around 2, and you get back into Athens after 10pm. Our guide was great. Lunch spot was good.

Bad experience with train tickets - The tour was absolutely wonderful! Damian was a great tour guide, he knew so much about where we went and we never had a boring moment with him. Everywhere he took us to was beautiful and we had so much fun. However, the company bought our return tickets for the wrong date. We didn’t know until we had already boarded the train and were forced to buy new and more expensive tickets out of our own pocket. I reached out to the company here and they refused us a refund for the amount of our return tickets. It’s a shame, because this tour was really good. But finding out you don’t have the right tickets in a foreign country after already boarding was such a stressful moment. I say don’t book this. Save yourselves from that trouble.
