I work on a cruise ship, so doing tours is difficult given the lack of time, but the two and a half hours I spent on tour with Giorgio from Katakolon to Olympia were magnificent! He's a fantastic lecturer, explained everything super well and told us a lot about our destination. I definitely recommend the company and the tours! Thank you for having me 💖 (Pictured is me holding the 2004 Olympic Torch!)

This tour in Olympia was amazing

This tour in Olympia was amazing. First we saw the first Olympic sight and heard all about the history and then we went to a beautiful farm to learn all about Olives and had a delicious light lunch. We even had music and dancing! Highly recommend.

Exceeded our expectations!

We had a wonderful day with our guide and driver. The Agricultural Farm was breathtaking and our hostess, Lucy, was delightful - she treated us like we were the only visitors on the property and made sure our visit was memorable and educational. Of course, the visit to Olympia was fantastic - the ancient ruins were impressive, and the museum helped to fill in all the blanks for us. Amazing artifacts - it was surreal to see such well-preserved items.

Good way to learn about Farming in Katakolon

At the time of booking this tour, was not sure what to expect as we were heading to a farm to learn about the processes involved with making some Greek products. Once we arrived at the farm, Magna Grecia we were greated by a friendly staff that offered us some samplings of wine and olive oil to start our day off right with what they wanted to introduce us to. Once the "ice was broken" we were led to a shaded area where are guide explained to us the process involved with making their products (wine, olives, olive oil, soaps, etc) and how everything is organic and done by hand (not mass produced). Gave us a better sense of the commitment and heart that goes into everything they make. After that we were treated to some samples of the various olive oils they make and shown around the grounds. Lastly, we were treated to some homemade wines and a light lunch that top off the tour. Great experience that is well worth the visit. Once finished here, we traveled to Olympia for a walk back in time to high school world history when visiting the ruins. Although most of the original Olympic Stadium is gone or in the site's museum, you could still remember back to high school history and see the pictures and topics discussed as you walked around the grounds. The town was a quaint little area offering all sorts of amenities one would need on the visit.

Great tour

We really enjoyed the tour of the Agricultural farm and had a delicious lunch there. We did not stay too long at Olympia since we were on our own as we did not have a professional guide (only an escort) and the day was very hot. Both the driver and escort were very nice and I would recommend this tour.
