      Magnificent trip to Meteora
      A trip to Meteora is definitely a must if you are in Greece! The trip from Thessaloniki may have taken 3.5 hours there and 3.5 hours back, but what was hidden at the finish line was breathtaking! Meteora exceeded my expectations from the photos, as this magical place is even more fascinating in person. The experience you take away from this place is indescribable and I definitely recommend everyone to take this trip with Ammon Express. Our very nice and sympathetic guide Eleni told us the history not only about Meteora, but also about Thessaloniki and all the important places we passed along the way. She was willing to give advice, take pictures and was a very pleasant guide. The bus driver, Ilias, was a real pro, taking us safely up the serpentines and then driving us back to Thessaloniki in peace. I will take away an experience of a lifetime from this trip and would definitely recommend it to others!

      Best guide in Greece!
      The guide, Margarita, is truly a gem! I took several trips with her because she was so fantastic!!! I still think back to her kindness, knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for this trip! I even took it twice with her to see almost all the monasteries. She went out of her way to really go above and beyond to make my stay amazing! It was be of the most memorable times of my non-stop Greece adventure that a month later I am finally coming back to write about how wonderful my time was! 💕🙏💕Thank you again for everything!!!

      Meteora day trip
      Our trip to Meteora from Thessaloniki was great. Ammon provided excellent communication before booking as well as throughout our tour. Our tour guide was great. She was very kind and informative and we had a great time.

      Great day trip to Meteora
      Highly recommend Ammon Express' full day trip to Meteora. Even though we had to make a last minute change, Evdoxiadis Themis changed our tour via whatsapp. Our guide Eleny was knowledgeable and interesting. Our driver Thomas did a great job. It was a comfortable bus ride and a beautiful and fascinating trip.

      Excellent introduction to local tastes and markets.
      Constantine (Megas) was an excellent guide. Gave some interesting information and shared the tastes of her home town. Don't eat too much in the morning before you take this tour, there's plenty to eat on this tour. This is a nice relaxed stroll around the markets so most people would manage it easily. Amazing that there are so many markets so close together. Well worth the time spent.

      Not to be missed
      Superb exhibition at the Royal Tomb. All in all a busy day with 2 museums plus the Royal Tomb, and the option to walk 15mins uphill to the site of the Royal Palace. Experienced and knowledgeable guide leads you thru Hellenic history and sets you up for the site visits.

      Looking close at history
      This tour has been probably the highlight of my trip to Thessaloniki this year. The tour allows you to visit the ruins of Pella and Aigai, plus the archeological museums and the Royal tombs of Macedon. It takes around 8 hours. Our guide for the day, Mr Lazarus, was very approachable, had a sense of humor and gave us quite detailed explanations to help us place the findings in the right historical context. The time allowed to see the ruins and museums was adequate for us. I would have liked 10 minutes more in Pella but it was enough to see most of the place. Even if you are not keen on ruins the royal tombs of Macedon are breathtaking. Only comparable to Tutankhamen tomb in Egypt IMO. We had lunch in a nice, simple taverna which was inexpensive and willing to serve quickly. I learnt a lot, and it was a great companion to the visit to the archeological Museum in Thessaloniki .

      A great opportunity to visit a magical place without the hassle of driving. The guide was very informative and friendly. A long trip by road but it was quite bearable . My fovourite was the panoramic stop. The whole tour semis well organised and punctual.

      Pellas & Vergina
      We really enjoyed our day out to Pellas & Vergina. The guide was really knowledgeable, the museums and sites very impressive and a comfortable and easy journey. We would have liked about 45 minutes more in Vergina for a late lunch, as we didn't have enough time to eat as there was so much to see! I will definitely be back to try some other tours, as the staff are friendly and passionate about their country, and the tours well organised. Great day out.

      Well worth a visit, views are stunning
      If you are visiting Thessaloniki for a few days, this trip is worth going on. It’s quite a long way but a comfort stop is included halfway and enough time to get a drink and snacks. The guide was excellent giving lots of info about the history of Thessaloniki in general and about the monasteries. Visits inside 2 monasteries was enough and cheap to get into. The views were amazing both from the coach and the monasteries. A stop was included for photos with the mountains and monasteries as backdrops. Lunch was at a local restaurant which was nice but quite pricey. Overall, the trip was good value and really enjoyable.

      It was a long day... but well worth it. A friendly, helpful guide, fantastic scenery, two monasteries, breaks en route, a great price. It was pretty much everything it could be. I loved it - book with confidence.

      It was excellent but be prepared that the bus doesn't have plugs to charge your devices and it is a long day! Definitely worth it!

    The tour was ok, nothing exceptional, nothing really bad either. The tour guide is friendly, but not very knowledgeable. Too high the price for the quality you get (tour guide + private bus, all other costs are extra to you...yes, also the entrance to the thermal baths).
    Why I'm writing this bad review is rather the fact that I took this tour and not the Mount Olympus tour I was booked on. The evening before my tour I received a phone call from Ammon Express stating the Mt Olympus tour couldn't go due to snowfall and the road being closed off. Strange, since the day before my hostel called them to ask if it would be possible to do the walk in Enipeas canyon, since that's why I wanted to book. No problem at all apparently, so I was pretty surprised to know they let me book it, to then cancel it a day later? Rather than cancelling, they want to put me on another tour: Meteora (already going independently) or Pozar thermal baths. I thought, why not the last one, I know it has been hard on most companies during the COVID pandemic and I could use some relaxation. I took the tour today and got chatting with a lovely German couple who, guess what, took the Mount Olympus tour (yes, the one I had booked and couldn't go on due to it being cancelled) in a small group. So small it could be taken in a normal car, which makes me assume is the reason I needed to change my trip, in order to not have to book a bigger vehicle and lose out on money. Working myself in tourism, this is in my opinion what has happened. I have blatantly been lied to by Ammon Express, which pisses me off incredibly. Was the Pozar tour ok? The baths where fine and relaxing, but I would never have picked this tour myself. In stead of giving me the option to choose, they've decided for me. I will not recommend this company and suggest you to think twice if you'd want to book with them.

    Thank you for taking the time to write this detailed review. We informed you that we had to reschedule your reservation due to bad weather conditions. There was snow on Mt. Olympus and we could only sent a car for this tour. Other people rescheduled or got a refund as well, for this reason. Our priority was the safety of our costumers. You agreed in changing your reservation, we offered to give you a refund. We are sorry you feel this way about this situation. We hope to see you again in the future with a tour to Mt. Olympus.

    Although it was raining, we really enjoyed the trip to the Pozar Thermal baths and then Edessa waterfall. The bus driver Dimitrios did an amazing job driving in the wet conditions and we felt very safe. Eleni our tour guide was wonderful - very organised and caring with a lot of knowledge of the areas we visited. We loved bathing in the thermal baths. The water was warm and relaxing. There were change rooms and lockers nearby. The Edessa waterfall was amazing. You can get close up and even behind the waterfall. Lots of opportunities for great photos. Would highly recommend this tour. Booking with Ammon Express was easy to do online.

    There was heavy rain the night before & consistent rain the day of the trip which completely ruined the experience. Quite honestly, it should of been canceled. Only the big pool was open & we couldn't even get a peek at the other thermal springs. My clothes & shoes got soaked and we spent the entire afternoon sitting in some restaurant. There was no interest in going to the waterfall so essentially, I paid 55Euro for a swim... Most expensive swim of my life! Not the guides fault (Elise)... She also thought the tour should of been canceled.

    Thank you to Eleni who was a great tour guide. :)
    The only issue was the place itself which had nothing to do with the guided tour as the coach and information was very pleasant.
    The thermal baths have very poor facilities (bad toilets, broken lockers and changing rooms) and you need to pay for each pool. Very inefficient beurocracy and ticket systems, but nevertheless I'm glad I went and it was a really nice trip! Just bring your own towels and don't bring valuables

    Complete waste of a day. It’s absolutely tiny. What you see in the photo with the love sign, that’s it. Nothing else.

    It’s about the size of a double decker bus in total. Our local swimming pool is three times the size, it’s packed, pointless and just soooo not worth the 100km trek to see it.

    The private pools are pretty disappointing too. We tried number 8. It’s just a latge hot tub area with warm water, nothing to see.

    Honestly, so under whelming. I took the “ I love P” sign selfie and was like, right, that’s done! Let’s go.

    Limited lockers, over crowded, small, and just kinda pony. Give it a swerve my friends.

    Very clean coach with AC, and the journey was smooth with the tour guide providing information about various places as we made our way to the Pozar thermal baths and the Edessa waterfall. The pools at the thermal baths were stunning, but it's worth noting that there was an entrance fee for each pool. Changing rooms with hairdryers were available, which was convenient. The site itself was beautiful, and we truly enjoyed our visit. The waterfall in Edessa was a breathtaking sight, and the views there were lovely. We had a delightful lunch at a charming restaurant right next to the waterfall. Overall, no complaints - I highly recommend this tour!

    Very nice park near this river in the middle of the mountains of Greek Macedonia. You can take advantage of the cold water and dive into the stream for free, or pay € 3 per adult to use the outdoor pools of hot thermal water. So we did, and it was very nice to go from warm to cold water. The place is crowded in August but still livable

    Not far from Loutraki in North Maccedonia ( not to confuse with Loutraki west of Athens) the Pozar bath is located in a forest.The entrance fee is 3 Euros per person and everyone can enter the two bathes : one is like an ordinary swimming pool with chaires and the second is a big open bath with small cells for changing and descending stairs to the water with natural waterfalls . The heat in the bath and the waterfalls is 37°C. The bath is situated along the stream but in this June was almost dry. Worth a visit , 30 minutes in water and a good relaxtion . What is missing in my point of view is more cahires after the bath.
