Halbtägige private Tour von Katakolo oder Kyllini Port nach Anc. Ilis

We'd been to Olympia in the past and wanted to see a new area. George was a fantastic guide. We booked the Killini tour with Chlemouste castle. He then customized our tour based on what we wanted to include, omit, and add. He knew the area very well, gave us lots of interesting and fun facts, was extremely personable, funny, easy going, and sincerely enjoys spending time with his clients. We enjoyed all the stops along our full 5-hour tour. I hadn't properly planned the pickup time and our ship didn't dock until noon. George was so flexible and kind about flexing to an afternoon tour. We even invited him to give us a call next year when he visits the US. We'd love to see him again and maybe show him around our home town.

George was a great diver tour guide and we had a very good value private 4 hour excursion around Karachi. Highly recommended

We are from the UK and had a private tour with our driver George. It was excellent and throuroughly recommended. George is a very kind and entertaining host with very good English. We felt very safe and enjoyed seeing the 4 sites shown on the booking. and expecially the villages and beautiful countryside. We suggest this is an ideal alternative to the many trips to Olympia. The Frankish castle is a must see with amazing views from the top.

We could not have got a better guide / driver than Stavros. Intelligent and competent, he led us to the agreed destinations and dropped us off safely at our ship after the end of the tour. However, the communication between TripAdvisor and the local operator left much to be desired, especially in terms of the start time and pick-up location.

Dimitris was great. He drove us to Ilis. This stop was not much to see, but interesting nonetheless. There will be more excavation with the new technology. We then went to the museum, which was also very interesting. Then on to the castle. Very impressive. We loved the drive through the countryside. There were many olive groves and lots of farms growing everything. He also took us to a family run restaurant that's been in business for generations. We had the best meal ever. We highly recommend this tour.

This tour was simple, relaxing and fabulous in every way. Instead of joining the hoards of fellow passengers to Olympia we went instead to ancient center where the Olympic games were planned and organized. There was an extensive and well curated museum annotated in both Greek and English. Quiet museums, fabulous countryside, visit to a castle fortress, and then a quick trip to the ruins of Roman thermal baths. Noncrowds, felt like completely private and ‘just for us’. Exactly the outing we had hoped for. Dimitri was kind, informative, great driver and provided a spotless car with complimentary water. Thanks to him, our day was perfect.

Unless you are really into BC artifacts and archeological ruins, this is not much of a tour. The only thing of genuine interest was the remarkably well preserved 1220 Frankish Castle of Chlemoutsi. It's likely that I did not read the description of this outing well enough as the first portion is at the not well maintained or informative ruins of Elis, the ancient city (one of the largest in Ancient Greece) was the location where the Olympic games were planned and administered for 1000 years. But there is very little associated with the games themselves. This is not a tour as much as a taxi service. Our driver, Andreas, was pleasant and a good, safe driver, but not a guide in the classic sense. Although he would provide some general information about each location, we were on our own once we got there.

Great tour. We had the option to modify the sites we’d visit and the pace. A wonderful guide/driver gave us a memorable experience. The castle is a must-see. Bring a camera!

THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. The group had specifically picked this tour as it went to a castle that they had never been to. Upon arrival to the driver, he told them that they would not want to go to the castle as there is nothing there. He made it seem like the site was not there anymore, but the group later confirmed that it is still standing and in operation. He became increasingly upset as the group tried to tell him that they would still like to go. He whipped the car around several times, telling them that he thought they should go to Olympia instead. They had already been to Olympia and had no interest in going, but as he was the guide and driver and was getting very upset with them, they agreed. On the way to Olympia, the group asked if he could share more about the area and where they were going. He replied that it was illegal for him to talk to them and that he could not give any information about himself or the area. He also stated that the entrance to Olympia was only 6 euros, and later turned out to be 12 upon arrival. Further, the tour description shows that the approximate tour length is 5 hours. The driver took the group to Olympia and then returned them back to the meeting point after only 3 hours, turning the music up in his car very loud and refusing to speak to the group. He did not mention the beaches that were described in the tour description or offer to take them anywhere else.

Dimitri was the best!!! He was a fast and safe driver 😀 and took us to a local restaurant that he lived near by that was incredible! Highly recommend him!
