The tour was an excellent balance of history sites and engaging activity. Our tour guide Tina was excellent; knowledgeable, funny, and kind. She was very flexible to our requests and made the whole day stress free. George was the driver and our van (specifically the AC) was great and safe. We highly recommend this tour and specifically our guide.
My family had an excellent time on our tour with Stathis. He was so thoughtful and bought us the most delicious cappuccinos at the start of the tour. He was very friendly and happy to talk with us about history and way of life in Greece. Everything went smoothly at Olympia, including the museum and the archaeological site. He took us to a honey farm, which we enjoyed. Our favorite part was the lovely beach that he took us to which had comfortable lounge chairs and umbrellas, and amazing warm and clear water. We also had the best meal we had on our entire vacation which he ordered for us and was very reasonably priced. We would book with him again in a heartbeat.
We had a very enjoyable half-day tour of Olympia. Our driver/guide was friendly, funny, and very personable, which made the experience relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish. He was knowledgeable about the history and area, shared interesting information throughout the tour, and was always happy to answer questions. What we appreciated most was how down-to-earth and approachable he was. He kept things engaging without overwhelming us with too much information and did a great job making everyone feel comfortable. Olympia is an important historical site and well worth visiting, and having a guide with a good sense of humor and a genuine passion for what he does made the experience even better. We’re glad we chose this tour and would recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant and informative introduction to Olympia.
Stathis is so welcoming and knowledgeable. He made sure our tour fit our expectations and group. He gave us history and beautiful sites and food. Half a day was not long enough. Olympia is amazing with the museum, site and food.
Stathis is so much fun. He is very knowledgeable and gives you options along your tour. He personalizes based on the group. He guided us to an amazing restaurant on the beach. Highly suggest booking with him.
Excellent driver and visit - was very accommodating and flexible. Learned about the region during the drive to and from Olympia. The honey farm was beautiful and such a sweet generational family. Definitely meets the big tours - download the audio guide for Olympia in advance - then no guide needed in there.
Had a wonderful time with Tina and George. A member of our party had some mobility issues and both George and Tina did a wonderful job navigating the sites so we didn’t have to push the wheelchair further than we needed. Tina did a wonderful adjusting to our groups needs. George did a wonderful job getting us where we needed to be. Highly recommend!
We traveled as a family (16 people) and hired this guide to visit Olympia. It was very friendly and attentive, the car very comfortable, and also gave us excellent advice during the visit. He also took us to a fantastic restaurant. 100% recommended to know Olympia in a comfortable way!!
I had a wonderful tour guide who had great knowledge about the history of the sites and took us to great places that we never knew about.
The attention and punctuality was amazing, our driver Etaohe Napaekeyonoyaoe was the best !!, an excellent attitude and always with the right information and answer, plus he took us to eat at a delicious local place and an olive oil factory, I highly recommend it!!!, it really was an unforgettable visit!!!
