★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 104 reviews · 13 hours · from $169Our pick

Review of the 13-hour Athens to Mount Olympus tour, with train travel, Dion, Litochoro, Platamon Castle, and Zeus' Bath.

“This was an incredible experience. Although there were issues with transportation at first, which were not the company's fault and they did a great job to rectify, we highly enjoyed this day. Our Guide Jason was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire history of the area and expressed wonderful stories relevant to each stop throughout the day. Jason was incredibly friendly and wonderful company for the trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our discussions with him throughout the day. His passion for the area and his love for his country were contagious. I highly recommend this trip, and hopefully, you get Jason as your guide.”

Penelope was so fun, flexible, amazing, just a wonderful woman of all trades! Nothing could have been a better and we would recommend this to anyone-when they say the hike can be tailored to all abilities, Penelope went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy. Thank you for this amazing experience!”
