We had an excellent tour with Stathis from Stathopoulos Tour in Katakolo. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly throughout the day. He shared interesting information about the area and answered all of our questions with great expertise. What we appreciated most was that he never rushed us. He gave us plenty of time to enjoy each stop, take photos, explore, and truly experience the places we visited. The tour was well organized, relaxing, and tailored to our pace. Stathis made our visit to Katakolo memorable, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide in Greece. Thank you for a wonderful day!
Stathis was the best tour guide we could have asked for. His attention to detail on our tour was unparalleled and he truly made us feel like family. He was a very safe driver, his vehicle was clean, and he provided so much information about Olympia and the surrounding areas. We were able to explore local gems and had a traditional Greek lunch with recommendations by Stathis. It was truly an incredible day and one we won’t forget. Thank you Stathis!
Dora our tour guide was absolutely wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about the area. She was also extremely friendly and allowed us to make some adjustments to our schedule. We wanted to spend more time in Olympia and walk around the town, so decided to skip the beach. The olive press was very interesting, my kids even enjoyed learning about the process and loved sampling the oils. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially to those with limited time as you will learn and see a lot!
Our guide, Charis, was absolutely great. He agreed to start early to assist us in avoiding the cruise bus crowds at the Olympic site. Very nice van as well. The site itself was quite moving, allowing one to imagine the first Olympic games. The museum was very well done and interesting. Later, we visited a family owned olive oil company and learned a-lot as well as sourcing some great products after a fun tasting. The best part was stopping by Charis’ house to get some of his home grown oranges. They were undoubtedly the best we have ever eaten. All gone within 30 minutes of our return. A great outing and I highly recommend this excursion.
Andreas also known as Andrew was awesome! From being prompt at our pick up with a sign to the history information he offered, perfect would the be the word I would use. We were not rushed at all and I definitely recommend the olive press tour at Magna, it will not disappoint!
The guide is excellent and very kind. The visit to the ancient Olympia is amazing. I recommend to get an audio guide since the excursion does not include it. Visiting the oil press was great and olive oil tasting delicious. The beach is small but water is clear and delightful. 100% recommended to make the most of the place.
Charis was an excellent guide! Saw beautiful sites and then had lunch at a seaside outdoor restaurant. Highly recommend.
My family and I had a wonderful experience on the excursion to Olympia. The staff was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and nice. They made the trip enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend this excursion.
The driver was amazing. He took us around to where we wanted to go, had great suggestions on how to go through the Olympic ruins to avoid the crowds and heat. He took us olive oil tasting which was amazing. Then to a local restaurant and he helped us order food. It was so good and affordable. Had the best day!!
Tour guide was a bit disorganized & not very knowledgeable. Needed way more time at Olympia and should have been supplied with a guide map and or a guided tour. The lunch at the Olive Press was not worth the money and seem very much touristy verses authentic.
