Great tour
We were met with a good morning and a smile by Eleanor and the driver George, nice mini bus. The tour was well guided and nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed our day out.

Full day trip through Hello Thessalonki.
We booked our trip to Dion and Mt. Olympus through Hello Thessalonki. Whatt a great choice!! The price for 2 was reasonable, the driver/guide was prompt, very knowledgable and accomodating. John treated us to Greek coffee and a specialty dessert from one of the monestaries. The Dion archiological site was quite large and interesting. We had plenty of time to walk through the site as well as the musseum. On the way back from Mt Olympus we saw some beautiful waterfalls. Thanks John for a very memorable day!
