Michael was the most amazing tour guide. We had so much fun and he was well organized, kind, and hilarious!!! Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time with Michael seeing amazing sites and hearing stories about the Greek Gods and Greece’s religious history. We heard fantastical tales that were fun and thought provoking! Thanks Michael!
Michael is a passionate communicator about Greece in general and mythology specifically. Great small group immersion in everything Greek.
This was a one of a kind experience getting to see Mount Olympus and hearing all the stories of the 12 Greek gods. Tour guides were both amazing and went out of their way to make this a unique and memorable experience!
Pros… Michael was an amazing guide. He is a wealth of information, walking encyclopedia, knows everything about Greek history and Greek mythology. It was a perfect day for our hike. Beautiful scenery. We went off the beaten path of tourists. Wonderful little café we stopped for coffee. And ended the tour with some time on the beach. Now for the cons…. If you are used to hiking stairs, this would be fine. I would highly stay away from this tour if you have mobility issues. There’s a lot of rough terrain to walk through and stairs. If you’re afraid of heights, definitely not to tour for you. I would be cautious with young children , trying to maneuver some of the areas. Now with that being said, you can probably sit in the car and wait. But then you miss all the beautiful scenery.
A great day out with our guide, Michael. Nothing was too much trouble. He is really knowledgeable about Greek mythology and history and we learnt loads. He is a very entertaining host who loves to share his culture and history with you. Took us to lots of places the tour buses couldn’t go.
Dora and Michael were awesome!! They were the perfect hosts. Do yourself a favor and book them. Our family of 4 had so much fun and learned so much. We can’t wait to come back and try one of the other excursions they offer! Thank you guys so much!!!
Michael was an excellent guide. He knew so much about Thessaloniki history -Byzantine, Roman and Apostolic He was informative and friendly.
