Non presenza di MapoTapo: sono stata annessa ad un gruppo organizzato da un'altra piattaforma, pagando però la fee di MapoTapo che era il doppio dell'altra. Guida locale comunque bravissima e disponibile, paesaggio strepitoso.

Grazie a Mapo Tapo per aver organizzato questa esperienza così particolare e soddisfacente! Il trekking dell'olimpo è stato una bella gita sempre tra mare e cielo. Panorami spettacolari e la sensazione viva di calpestare terre mitologiche. A tratti il percorso è stato un po' impegnativo per chi non è abituato, ma la guida Akis è stata sempre presente e attenta a tutti i nostri bisogni, e con la sua esperienza mi sono sentito sempre sicuro e supportato. 100% raccomandato!!
