Halvdags Olympia privat tur fra Katakolon

Great friendly driver Demitris who was regularly in contact with us from booking. Very knowledgable and offered lots of hints and didn’t give us a set agenda but gave us some ideas and let us choose what we wanted to do. Easy to find when getting off our ship. Would use again.

Our driver Andreas was very communicative on how to find him after we got off the ship. From there, he took us on a fabulous tour which included Olympia, a GEORGOUS winery and a quick stop at a beach for a drink and a short dip. It was a really perfect day which exceeded our expectations. Don't be talked out of the winery, it was so lovely up there to see the family business!

There will be occasional traffic slow downs between the beach town and Kotokloono. Very knowledgeable guide. Best guide of cruise.

Your was good. Ideally ask him to program it to what you want to see. The ruins are very hot. The beach was nice. Go with time. Better to eat there.

To start, know that tour services were not allowed to enter the port area for pickups; so you will have to walk to the end of the pier to meet your tour service (especially if private tour is booked). Beyond that underside that Katakolon (Olympia) is all about the original Olympic games; the athletes, their training, the events, and the evolution of the games. If your goals are anything outside of those things, you might not want to book this tour. This was a privately booked tour for us, which meant that it was self guided. We toured the Museum first, and then went to the archeological site, and Wow! We were actually on the grounds where the first Olympics were held. Walking through the grounds and eventually to the stadium was unbelievable. And then...we came to the remains of the Temple of Zeus. It is difficult to explain how I felt standing at the site of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World...satisfying, finally, the end of a long held desire all come to mind. Afterward, we went into the archeological museum to conclude a long awaited journey. Our driver was courteous and attentive, but he had little to do with the experience. If you want someone to guide you through this tour, you should make that known before booking. We decided not to do the wine and olive portion of the tour opting instead to do a quiet lunch on the shore of the Ionian Sea...Totally Satisfying!

Our driver was an expert on the places he was very good in Olympia as well as the all his recommendations

Demetrius was the BEST…so funny, knowledgeable & knew all the great spots to go! I would highly recommend this tour and also Demetrius! We got to go local non-touristy spots which really made the tour special❤️

Dimitris was great. Showed us a lot of local spots. Very flexible with the time and helpful. Highly recommend.

Driver friendly, on time. Enjoyed emesly The honey farm. Trying to purchase honey , can’t find a site on line. Olives weren’t in harvest but toured plant , purchased olive oil using every morning . Highly recommended.

The driver was very kind. Very professional. He gave us a lovely experience. He took us wherever we wanted, even if it was not on the itinerary.
