Wonderful experience

The pick-up and return trip to the hotel was no problem even though our hotel wasn't even listed. The trip itself was very adventurous, you have to like that kind of thing. We really enjoyed it though, the English-speaking tour guide Thomas was great and showed us some really special spots. I would book it again and recommend it to others.

Lagoons trip

Excelent ride! Such a beautiful place on mount Olympus. Even if you are not into swimming in cold water of the lagoons, the side view it's amazing!

A mini family adventure!

Simple, no fuss, efficiency from Thomas who busied himself collecting the few bits of litter while we explored, jumped and swam. Both spots we visited were beautiful, highly recommended!

A trip for everyone who loves nature and waters! Regards, Thomas

Wonderful swimming

Thomas took us to 2 swimming spots with waterfalls. The water is very cold but clear and after getting used to it: very pleasant. We were alone there, a real marvel. Thank you Thomas for showing us the places of your childhood

Super day and a super team! Next challenge is loading Regards, Thomas

All time memory moments

If you want to understand the power and the clearness of the nature, the Greek mountain Olympus, you definitely must visit this tour. We visited Paralia, but the most memorable moments happened here. Thanks Tomas for the tour, we were happy that you showed us the lagoon secrets of the mountain. We really enjoyed every moment!

Great day for all! Until next adventure Regards, Thomas

From reality to paradise

We spent an amazing 4 hours trip in the lagoons of Olympus. It was like an escape from reality to paradise - from crowded hotels and beaches to virgin nature. On the way we could already see hundreds goats with typical Greek shepherds. We visited the first lagoon with a waterfall where we could swim and relax. After that we continued to the second lagoons which were even more fascinating. We swam in the crystal clear lagoons under the waterfall or jumped into the lagoons from the rocky cliffs. Thomas is an excellent professional tour guide. He is helpful and respects the individual needs of each group. We were a family group of 8 persons with children and grandmother. It was a great and incredible experience for all! WE RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE! DON´T MISS IT! :-)

Awesome family and a wonderful day with you. Until next time Regards, Thomas

Great experience with a superb guide

We did an Olympus Lagoon Day Tour with Thomas. Although the hubs and I would have liked more hiking, we had five kids with us ages 17-10 so we kept it simple. It did NOT disappoint! The lagoons and falls were incredible, water was crisp (nice way of saying “freezing” to thin blooded Floridians!), and the time spent as family was precious. Prior to our adventure I was in touch with Thomas as we had not found transportation between Athens, Platamonas and then Corfu. He put us in contact with an option, and communicated prior to us even booking anything! He knows his mountain, is a capable guide, and was very aware and hands on. He was even more concerned about my daughter who cut herself on some rocks than I was! Great experience, great guide and a great company.

Thanks for your trust and your decision to visit Olympus with me. Until next time Regards, Thomas
