Excursión circular de trekking a la cumbre del Monte Olimpo

The guide failed to appear for our paid excursion despite prior confirmation and full payment. We had agreed to meet at the refuge between 5 and 6am, and based on this agreement we hiked to the refuge and stayed overnight as required. On the morning of the climb, the guide did not arrive. After waiting, we located his phone number on the website and discovered that he had sent messages through the platform, which we did not receive due to missing email notifications. However, the guide had all three of our phone numbers and made no attempt to contact us directly by phone, text, or WhatsApp. Instead, he unilaterally decided not to attend the excursion. This trip cost us $1,000 and the situation completely disrupted our climb and undermined our trust in Explore-Share. Although the company offered partial compensation (a 50% refund and a voucher for the remaining amount), it does not address the inconvenience, financial loss, and significant effort required to travel and prepare for this climb. Given the circumstances, we are hesitant to book with them again and risk a similar outcome. Based on other reviews, this does not appear to be an isolated incident. I would urge others to exercise caution before booking.

The guided hike was wonderful! Our guide knew the area very well and made sure our hike was safe and fun.

Our hike up Mt. Olympus with Stavros was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He was kind, patient, and incredibly safety-conscious - we truly could not have reached Scala Peak in the snowy conditions without his guidance and expertise. Stavros made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, and his passion for the mountain really shone through. What made the day even more special was that my boyfriend surprised me with a proposal at the summit! Stavros somehow managed to discreetly capture the entire moment on video, it’s absolutely perfect and something we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. We can’t thank him enough for helping make this such a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re planning to hike Mt. Olympus, we couldn’t recommend Stavros more highly, he’s simply the best!

Stavros was professional and friendly throughout. We learned a lot about Greece. He paced our hike really well and ensured we had the appropriate equipment

Couldn't recommend stavros enough the guy was a really nice bloke and funny, he always had our safety as priority and full of information couldn't have asked for better unbelievable trip I will be back
