The most AMAZING experience!!! Our tour guide was the best of the best!!! Took us to a local winery to dye for, and to a beach out of this world!!! I would do this tour with her 💯 times!!!
We had a fabulous tour with George today as our tour guide and John as our driver! George was so easy going and fun showing us all the places we wanted to see in Olympia. We also stopped at a local winery that was family owned where they were so nice and did a wine tasting with food . They had great wine and delicious food! Visited the Olympic site and museum and then finished off with the beach.
Great day. Saw museums then our guide took us to a great local boutique winery followed by a nice cove beach to end the tour. Our guide was very flexible and had great recommendations. Would do again but probably skip the museums.
Excellent tour guide and driver combo. Very accommodating and great tour as described. Would highly recommend
Amazing tour guide that takes you to the authentic and local places that you wouldn't typically see. With the best beach on Kataklon for the end of the tour.
The van was very comfortable and our guide was great. Olympia was good and much bigger than I expected. The winery was good but I do wish we would I have tried more wine than just 3. Overall we had a great time.
We had an incredible day thanks to our driver and guide Stathis! We saw the ancient Olympia site, 2 museums, went to an olive oil processing facility to learn and taste and had wonderful dinner on the beach with beach time! Stathis was very flexible in helping us create the perfect day for what we wanted and prioritize our time. He was patient and never rushed us. We ended up spending an additional 1.5 hrs on our tour than what we booked to take advantage of all the experiences. The scenery and history at all the stops was excellent. Stathis went above and beyond and gave us gifts which represented to culture of Greece! I’d highly recommend this excursion and Stathis as the driver/guide!
Our Katakolon shore excursion was absolutely amazing! Panos, our driver, was truly a joy and a delight to spend the day with. From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcome and ensured we had an unforgettable experience. He gave us excellent guidance on exploring the archaeological site and museum, sharing helpful tips that made our visit even more enjoyable. Afterward, he took us to a wonderful local winery that ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. The food was incredible, the wine was exceptional, and the hospitality was outstanding. To top it all off, Panos brought us to a beautiful private beach where we were able to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. Every part of the day was perfectly planned, and we never felt rushed. I can’t recommend this shore excursion enough. If you’re visiting Katakolon, be sure to ask for Panos—you’ll be so glad you did! He made our day truly special and created memories our family will cherish for years to come.
If you are on the fence about booking a private tour of Olympia and Pyrgos, let this be your sign to just do it! Our experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Having a private guide made all the difference, but what truly elevated our day was the undivided attention we received from George. He was an absolute gem—so incredibly thoughtful about every single detail. The itinerary was perfectly curated. We loved the local shopping stops, but the real highlights were the curated experiences George set up for us. His attention to detail during the winery visit and the olive oil tasting made us feel like VIPs. To top it all off, we ended our day at the cutest local beach, where we sat down for what turned out to be the absolute best meal of our entire trip. If you want a seamless, personalized, and unforgettable day in Greece, book this tour immediately. You won't regret it!
We were picked up by Stathis Paraskeuopoulos. From the very first moment Stathis was welcoming and friendly. We learned a lot about the region and culture. He was interested in us personally and even gave us some small gifts. We spent 2 weeks going from Greece to Italy and Stathis was by far the best tour guide we had.
