Worthwhile day trip to Mount Olympos - Eva was a great guide on this well-organised and informative trip to Mount Olympos and Dion from Thessaloniki. The tour combined history, geography and mythology and left time to explore individually. We have now booked for the Ammon tour to Pella and Vergina while we’re staying in Thessaloniki.

Excellent trip, highly recommended - We really enjoyed this trip. Our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable. We also appreciated the tip regarding archaeological findings under one of the metro stations. Very impressive.

Worth it - Guide was dynamic, knowledgeable, kind, patient, present, only positive words to say about her. High quality, she was so kind that I will miss her. The short hike on Mt Olympus was just right and gave the flexibility to stay at the waterfall, time in Dion was just enough, the exhibition at the natural center was perfect and informative, we had a very nice day

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.

Dion and Mt Olympus - totally worth seeing - An nice daytrip with a lovely guide. Dion was especially interesting and Mt Olympus is magnificent - lots of gods in its slobes...;-). The guide might though have been more informative and sometimes I was struggling understanding her english.

Enjoyable beautiful day trip - This trip is great there are some areas of rough ground which require good footwear. Also so steep downhill walking with semi formed steps which will require balance and the ability to slide on your bum and get back up again. Enjoyable though just make sure you have sprayed to avoid bites!!

Great day - The tour was really good but some suggested changes (which I admit may not be practical):
- If the stop at the waterfall could be towards the end of the trip it’s likely more people would swim since the day would be warmer (and so would we!)
- The second part of the hike was indeed challenging (and I am in pretty good hiking shape). For folks uncertain on their feet or with balance issues, it was not pleasant. Perhaps make it more clear in the description.
- we could have used more time at Dion and the Information Center
With all that said, it was a wonderful day and Eva did a great job. I would definitely recommend, but would warn about the hike.
