Vasilis was our driver and he was fantastic! We loved the Mt. Olympus and Dion area and he took us to the best stops! Lots of photos and even more memories! He was professional, safe and gave us the best tour!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had an amazing day exploring Mount Olympus and its beautiful nature with Gina and Yannis. Your recommendation means a lot to our team!
We were very excited to take this tour, but unfortunately it was canceled by the tour operator less than 48 hours before the scheduled departure. The initial reason provided was “low availability,” though we later learned that the driver had been involved in a car accident and no replacement was available. While we understand that unexpected situations can arise, the last-minute cancellation was disappointing, especially since tour options in Thessaloniki were limited and it left us without time to make alternative plans. We were looking forward to this experience and were sorry to miss it.
Thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry about the accident that happened and your tour had to be canceled at the last minute. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment caused, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you in the future.
