1-day hiking trip to Mount Parnitha, Greece

The communication with the tour guide was quite poor despite trying to reach out months in advance after booking. Some of the communication contradicted what was in the description on the page, including the final itinerary. We also ended up having a replacement guide, and he was nice enough, but it felt like he wanted it to be over and done with and moved very quickly with very little breaks. I was also expecting to learn a lot about the mountain as we went up and the Greek mythology that the mountain has inspired, but this wasn't the case either. The climb to the summit was still amazing, but I wouldn't book a guide next time.

Our guide sometimes got way ahead of us a times. I am not sure if this was to give us some privacy but at times we could not even see him and he would be waiting 100 yards up the trail. He was very knowledgeable and we would use him again!

Theo and Babis were wonderful guides and made the experience memorable. We had a wonderful time trekking up Mt Olympus!

Awesome trip, a dream came true! I loved the variety of the mounts we climbed and skied on. The local guide, Babis, is very friendly and has a great expertise. I look forward to go back next winter!

Had an amazing trip. The huts were closed due to the snow so we had a day rock climbing in the canyon behind litochoro on the first day (I’m horrendous with heights but Babis kept encouraging me and got me through it) and we submitted skolio on the second day. He made the whole thing so easy and helped make it a great experience

Babis made the whole trip very smooth and he met us at our hotel. We actually went up Mount Olympus with his colleague Stelios, who was an incredible guide. Stelios was very knowledgeable and made the trip incredibly smooth. I am very afraid of heights, but was able to summit Mytikas (to my surprise) with the guidance of Stelios. I cannot thank Babis and Stelios enough for all their help that made this an unforgettable trip! Would highly recommend. They are really the best of the best!

Félicitations à Babis Mainidis qui a su se mettre au niveau d'une débutante.

Babis is an amazing guide with years of climbing experience all over the world. I was able to really enjoy the last scramble up Mt Olympus because Babis had me in harness and guided me safely--totally without fear of falling--unlike the people trying to do it without a guide and ropes. Very patient and encouraging. Great trip!

Clients should be told that the money paid is just for explore-share and the guide. That there is extra cost. €56 for transportation, €18 per person per night, cost of food and a guide is not necessary if you don't go to the summit. The fitness level is very high.

We had 3 amazing days with the guide Babis on the mountain. Being at Mt Olympus for the first time, we got see the things we wished for and at the right experience level as fitted us perfectly. Thanks a lot.

Babis is a very experienced guid and make sure that everyone climbs safely and successfully. It was an absolute thrill to get to the top of Mt Olympus.
