La mejor excursión en tierra de Olympia desde el puerto de Katakolon

For what I saw I feel it was a very overpriced tour, and I have done many tours. Save your money for Athens or Turkey. In Olympia just go in town and see the wind mills on your own and have a gyro at the restaurant in the center.

We took this tour when our cruise ship visited and had a great experience visiting Olympia and the museum. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Great day

Theodora was an amazing guide; kind, gracious, and courteous to all. She was very knowledgeable and willing to answer any & all questions; and had sweet, personable, and accommodating personality. Your travel agency struck gold when you hired her.

It was a nightmare from the beginning! Our guide was very well informed but honestly had no clue how to adjust her presentation to accommodate her entire group. From the time we began walking down the hill to the ruins, she charged ahead and paid no attention to anyone who was falling behind. I talked to her about this and she apologized. But when we went into the actual site, it was just as bad. We were told that because we had not mentioned my husband used a cane, it was our fault we couldn’t keep up. He had hurt his foot right before we left. We tried to be accommodating by offering to leave the track earlier and meet them at the entrance. Then she left us behind again when we walked to the museum. We decided to meet her at the bus but when I tried to tell her, she looked right at me and walked away. I told another member of the group that we would meet them at the bus. We walked back up the hill to the parking lot but our bus wasn’t there. The bus drivers who were there said there was another parking lot where they might be so we went down the very steep stairs (no handrail) and checked there. No luck. I tried calling the activity provider and got a voice mail in Greek. Couldn’t understand it so I didn’t leave a message. Next I looked at the message the provider and there was our guide’s phone number. I called her and she said it was the original parking lot. By now, my husband and another couple (who had had the same problem) were exhausted. We took a cab back to the port. I called her again to tell her we were taking a cab back. She was more concerned about the headsets than she was us. To the point where she had Viator call me as well. JAT was a horrible provider!! They have refused to refund our money and have not answered my calls. I WILL never book with them again!

We scheduled this tour through Viator. We were told the tour started at 1, but we didn’t leave until 1:30. That should have been my first clue! It was a large bus with a variety of ages and abilities in the tour group. When we had booked it, the page stated it may not be for the mobility impaired. No explanation; no details; nothing. Once we got to Olympia we had to walk down a long steep hill to the actual site. This honestly would not have been a problem IF our guide had not charged off down the hill. There were several couples who had an extremely hard time keeping up. By the time we got down the hill, Theodora was nowhere in sight. I finally saw her at the ticket line where I then went. I explained to her that she had literally left some of the group behind and she needed to slow down. She apologized and said she had no idea. THAT was not a surprise. She honestly had no clue we were even part of the group. As we toured Olympia, we would have been able to enjoy every bit if she had slowed down and made sure we were there. Mobility impairment does not mean leave part of the group behind. We attempted to not be a problem by saying we will leave early from a certain we and meet you at the entrance. Next, we were supposed to go to the museum. Once again, we were so far behind that we felt as if we were more of a bother than anything. The final straw was that we were going to just meet them back at the bus, but when we got to the parking lot, it wasn’t there. We were told it could be in a different lot, so we started walking there. I had called JAT, the provider but it went to voicemail in Greek. I finally got Theodora’s number and told her we were just going to take a taxi back to the port. She was more worried about the headphones we had than the fact that our tour was a disaster. She even called Viator to have them call us. I requested a refund but they said I had not put in any information about my husband using a cane. Therefore, it was our fault. We have done many other moderate excursions and never been made to feel this way.

Theodora is a gem. A lovely lady very caring looked after us all and was very knowledgeable imparting much of that information to us in a measured way. A really well balanced tour highly recommend..

Very informative, good value for money. Olympia Site is very exposed, not a lot of shade. Need hat or umbrella for protection. Museum is well worth a visit. Theodora, our guide, was excellent.

Our day in Olympia was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we were picked up from the port of Katakolon, everything ran very smoothly. The transportation was comfortable and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and mythology of ancient Greece. Walking through the archaeological site, seeing the Temple of Zeus, and learning about the birthplace of the Olympic Games was fascinating. We also loved the free time we had to explore at our own pace and take photos. The tour exceeded all our expectations and provided memories that we will cherish forever.

The perfect combination of sightseeing and leisure. The guide was friendly, informative and attentive. Olympia is amazing and this tour made it easy to enjoy everything stress-free.

A fantastic day exploring Olympia! The ancient ruins came to life with the guide's storytelling and we felt the tour was educational and enjoyable. Smooth pickup and drop-off at the port too.
