Antike Olympia Ganztagestour ab Athen

The excursion went perfectly, our driver Georges was very friendly. All times were respected. I recommend it for people who do not have a car

Be careful because the departure is at 7 a.m., so check with respect to your hotel. There were 6 of us registered in total, the trip was made in a van, comfortable, driven by the guide. The view on the trip is superb, driving along the coast and with a 30-minute stop at the Corinth Canal, and another 20-minute stop at an area with a cafe/bakery/store where it was possible to have a coffee, a vanilla smoothie in my case, and buy some pastries. The guide explained things along the way. Once in Olympia, there is the museum of ancient games + the archaeological site (very well explained with the role of each building) + the archaeological museum (and eating in a restaurant). The modern village also includes an Archimedes museum that exhibits his techniques, but if you have done the museum of ancient technologies in Athens, it is redundant. The free time on site is 5 hours, which is well-balanced: we all returned within the last 10 minutes.

Well organized tour, everything on time. Good driver Fotios. Good stops along the way, and Good amount of time in Olympia.

I was a really enjoyed my trip to Olympia! It’s a long day but there is so much to see. The guide is self-assisted which I prefer as I like to focus on what I’m interested in. The pace was good, and the little guide you’re given was interesting. The drive had stops too. The driver was very lovely.

Easy location to find for pick up, personable driver, and comfortable air conditioned ride. When we arrived at Olympia I was unable to download the electronic tickets so the driver kindly procured physical tickets for us. Overall excellent service.

Great driving between the gulfs of Agean Sea and Ionian Sea. Grat stop at Corynth canal , and great visit of the olympic city.

Everything was good and went well. Very smooth ride with some needed stops. The long trip is worth it. Our guide was very helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. Lots of breathtaking views along the way.

Amazing trip from Athens. The vehicle was very comfortable and the driver assisted us the whole time, also reccomended a nice addictional restaurant at the Olymbian village. Thank you team for everything.

This is the best way to see Olympia from Athens. Professional driver and comfortable bus. Plenty of time to see the site and the museum, and to have lunch.

I was already dreading this trip after I took a tour with this same company the evening before and was less than impressed; however, they really outdid themselves with this one. The tour had a clearly advertised pick-up time of 7:20am at the Hondos Centre. Things got off to a great start when I received an angry, accusatory call at 7:00am asking where I was and repeatedly telling me I was wrong when I explained the booking and ticket said clearly to meet at 7:20am. Running, sweaty and out of breath, I received a follow-up at 7:10am asking where I was, just as I was rounding the corner at the meeting place. No apologies, just a demand that I send the 'guide' (who was literally just the driver) a screenshot of the ticket displaying the meeting time (which I duly did). The transport was not a bus as advertised but a mini van. It was cramped, there was no AC (despite asking) and no charging points. This was particularly frustrating, given the length of the commute -- and that the driver, who up that point had not spoken a word other than to check us off the list, did not tell us until 4 hours in that if we wanted a guide around Ancient Olympia, we would have to use an app on our own devices (!). Not going to happen with the battery we had left! The driver told us nothing; he dropped us all outside the entrance to Ancient Olympia and drove off -- "see you in 4 hours". This was *NOT* a tour; it was a taxi ride, and not a friendly or comfortable one, at that.
