Easy bus ride

Easy bus ride to the site, very convenient. The only negative part was that they kept saying, hurry up because we are leaving but then had to wait a while for the bus to arrive. We had plenty of time to explore the ruins

We understand how frustrating that can be and will share your comments with our team to improve communication. We hope to welcome you again soon! Geo travel team

Good value if you don’t want entry to the park included.

George was charismatic, with a large personality! We really enjoyed the walk that took us around the perimeter of the actual monumental site, showing us the stadium and putting some of the Olympic Games history into context. However, bear in mind that this trip did not include entrance to the archaeological site which was an additional €20. However, we paid for the entry and really enjoyed our hour inside. For €20 each it’s great value but budget €40!!
