Well worth it - Sisi 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 for active people who also like a bit of history - This tour was surprisingly fun. Normally I like to do things the most but besides the active side you also learn a lot about the mountain and the surrounding villages. The tour guide was very friendly and completed everything from swimming in a (very cold) natural lake with a run waterfall, to walking in the ruins of the city of dïon.

An Amazing tour of Mt Olympus and Dion - This tour was a highlight of my trip while visiting Thessaloniki!
The ancient ruins of Dion were fascinating, and the views of Mount Olympus were absolutely breathtaking. What made it truly special was our guide Eleni, she was knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. Her stories brought history and mythology to life in the most vivid way. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you can go with Eleni!

One of my favorite tours ever!! - It is worth going. Sissy Giannakaki was my tour guide and she was fantastic. She was so full of positive energy. She had great info that she shared about history, mythology, and the geography of the area. I really enjoyed her personality. A great tour guide can really make the difference and I LOVED this tour. I highly recommend her and this day trip in general. I loved every part of it, the nature hike, the archaeological park, the traditional town had great little neighborhoods on the hills. I had such a great time. Also, try and check out the Temple of Isis at Dion. It's easily my favorite part of the park.

I grew up with Olympus - Incredible experience at history, tradition and curiosities about the Olympus. When visiting Thessa and Makedonia it’s a must going place to know. And our guide was amazing, o Γιάννης

Absolutely Great - Nice experience. Good value for money. Some rough trekking in Mount Olympus Park and there could be some safety precautions.
Otherwise great. Eva (I think that is her name in short, don't know the long version) was an absolutely fantastic guide.
Fully recommended.

Good trip. - I think it would be better to have more time at the Olympus area instead of the museum, but that was expected, so no complaints. The guide Evagalia was great - very nice, knowledgeable, and willing to help with everything.

- This is a nice day trip out of Thessaloniki. A very easy bus ride on a clean and comfortable bus, and a very kind and informative guide. We LOVED swimming at agio Kori, we wish we could have stayed longer there. Dion was fascinating and we enjoyed Mt Olympus visitor center, however we knocked off stars because the itinerary promised a second hike in the park to stavros refuge, shelter D that claimed excellent views. We booked this trip specifically for the agio Kori and the stavros hike because we wanted the physical activity. But instead of the second hike, they took us to the village of Litochoro for lunch. While it was nice and the restaurant they brought us to was delicious, we were only given enough time to eat before getting back on the bus. No time to even walk around the village if we wanted. In the end, we were only offered the nice views of Olympus through the bus window and we arrived back to Thessaloniki 90min earlier than the itinerary stated. They should update the itinerary to say that they will not be taking you on a mountain hike, but to a village, and that it will be a shorter trip. People should know what they are getting when they book, not after they are already on the bus.
