This trip is worth taking. It is a nice break from the city. The train trip was long but comfortable. Our tour guide, Damian, met us at the train station in Katerina. He was knowledgable and very nice. We went to the archeological site in Dion. You are given a ticket and allowed to tour the site alone. Damian gave us good suggestions, and we enjoyed walking around the site on our own. The site is interesting, especially since they are still excavating. We had lunch at a small family restaurant in Dion. The food was great. At the castle we were only able to walk around the exterior, but Damian gave us great information, and we felt like we saw all we needed. Last was Mt. Olympus. We walked up to the Bath of Zeus. The stories are so interesting, and the views incredible. We ended up having to take a bus back because the train was booked. It was perfectly comfortable if a little longer than the train.

Our guide picked us up from our hotel which was very helpful. His English was great and he knew a lot about the history of Greece. He was also a very safe driver. We thoroughly enjoyed our excursion.

Splendido tour, pieno di magia, storia e curiosità. Grande flessibilità ed empatia degli organizzatori, gentilissimi e preparati. Consiglio alla grande!!

A must for everyone. If you have the time book this tour. The guide was great. Many Thanks

the trip was comfortable and guide Damien was great
