Nice tour - Went with Dimitris to Dion and Olympus, a nice experience. He knew the area well, took me to the spots worth seeing, and he offered me water and snacks.Car was clean and his driving was comfortable.The archeological place of Dion was amazing and the path was very beautiful to walk.If you want to see the area properly, I recommend it.

Breathtaking Views and Unparalleled Service - George was our tour guide. He was incredibly engaging, friendly and knowledgeable. Trip ran right on time and he knew all of the best places to stop. Honestly, by the end of the tour I felt like we had spent the day with a good friend. I would, without ANY hesitation at all, recommend this trip if you want to see the spectacular sights and soak in the history and pastoral countryside of Greece.

Top notch! - Our guide, Kostas Papastathis was fabulous! He was incredibly knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions in great detail. He also provided us with the names of several books that he thought we might like based on our questions. He really went above and beyond, especially with regard to my son who has a deep interest in Greek mythology. Easily the best day of our trip to Greece!

Prepare to walk and be immersed in history! - This was a wonderful excursion and we covered a LOT of ground in one day. The archaeological park and museums were great, the drive up Mount Olympus offered spectacular views and the walk through the gorge was wonderful. Best part was my guide Giorgo, who was professional, kind and charming. He answered many questions about local history and culture. Thank you Giorgo!

Amazing experience - This was one of the best excursions we could have done. Our driver Notis brought us to the typical sites that we and most others wanted to see which was great. But then gave us a more local experience by bringing us to a neighborhood cafe for traditional coffee and pastries and a great restaurant near mt Olympus for amazing food and service. Worth every penny!

Great tour to Dion and Mount Olympus - George was a marvelous guide! The trip was fantastic. Mount Olympus is to be experienced. The waterfalls, hermit churches, scenery, gorges, wildlife is wonderful. The ruins of the city of Dion at the bottom of the mountain are also exceptional. The condition is good and it is a vast city. There is much to see in the ruins. A great day tour.

A day dream trip! - This day trip was so amazing! George was a 5 star driver and guide. It was everything we hoped for, and the places he took us were a dream. Specially Dion and the 20 min walk on Mount Olympus!

Poor weather led to a disappointing experience. - We were disappointed with this tour. Our main issue was poor weather it was a rainy day. The tour company did not cancel in light of the forecast and the the tour guide had very few ideas about how we might spend out time. We made a stop at a museum and a monastery then he took us to a fairly downmarket cafe to sit and have a coffee. I would have thought the tour company would either cancel or have some ideas about how to see there area in less than ideal weather conditions. I also did not find the guide particularly knowledgeable about the region and would classify him more as a driver than a guide. The guide was pleasant and did try to redeem the experience.
