This was a fun day out... - This was a fun day out with the family. Seeing the ruins and ancient thermal baths was very interesting. We had plenty of time to enjoy then off to Litochoro to see Mt. Olympus up close. Our guide opted for an easy hike to a very pretty waterfall. It was very peaceful there. After the falls, we had free time for lunch and shopping. We had the perfect amount of time. It was nice to have someone else drive and plan the day. Enjoy!

Excellent experience - Absolutely outstanding guide. He was an archaeologist and added so much to the trip. He was knowledgeable about all sites and answered many random questions we had. We had a great time — our favorite part was the hike.

Highly recommend - We were a small tour group this day, so we travelled by van instead of bus. Our tour guide, Dimitris, was incredibly friendly and knowledgable. The sights were beautiful. Litochoro was a charming surprise
