Escursione privata di Katakolon all'antica Olimpia, azienda vinicola e spiaggia

Wonderful personal experience. Andreas showed us authentic Olympia. We told him we wanted to have a local experience and he came through. The olive pressing private tour was our favorite!

What a great time! Our driver Nancy picked us up from port on time and communicated with us leading up to our tour as our port arrival changed. We started the tour with some of the historical sites we wanted to visit and she waited patiently for us to finish at each location. Along the way she was highly knowledgeable about the history of Olympia and made great conversation with us. She provided cold water after every stop and some local sweet treats for us to celebrate our honeymoon. She had great connections for things to do and gave us so many reasons to visit again. I could not recommend this tour enough! We will be coming back.

This trip exceeded my expectations. We loved our guide and I ended up buying a carpet from the tour! Love it

Andreas was our guide. He was AMAZING! Very flexible, knowledgeable and pleasant. The Mercedes van he picked us up and was air-conditioned and very nice. Some of the other vehicles we have toured and have not been so nice. Highly recommend this company and this Toor.

Very fun tour with seeing Olympia and the wine tasting and food afterwards was excellent. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Nancy was an incredible guide around the area, willing to show us what we were interested in seeing. Her hospitality and kindness were much appreciated.

What a perfect day with Andreas. I could not imagine it being any better. After a lot of research it became clear that for a full day out from Katakolon cruise port, Andreas was the man. From day 1 of contact, communications were perfect. He picked us up from the ship in his Mercedes and the adventure began. I had given him an itinerary of the the things we would like to do if we had time and left it to him. We had total flexibility all day though. Starting at Olympia and its museum Andreas drove us up the long 'no vehicles' path past everybody walking from the coach parks to drop us right at the entrance. Saving time, a long walk, and a lot of sweat. He knows everybody, so gets away with it. We then went into Olympia town itself, then onto a beautiful winery for a tasting. Andreas took us when no one else was there so we had the tour and tasting, led by the daughter, all to ourselves. This was a wonderful experience with the accompanying tapas being the icing on the cake. Apart from the different wines we were offered, they finished off with a shot of a (strong) spirit which is made from the grape skins. So no waste. They make a small amount of high quality olive oil there which was drizzled on to our accompanying homemade sourdough bread with a sprinkle of sea salt. Absolutely delicious, that oil was so good. We did bring some home and it is as good here as we found it over there. On the way back we called in at Agios Andreas beach. You can look from an outside hotel bar for miles at the stunning views of the Med and unspoilt coastline. Then back to Katakolon where he dropped us off so we could wander around for a bit before returning to the ship. He is a very knowledgeable, safe driver with a very comfortable car. 100% recommended. A perfect day, thank you Andreas.

We had a wonderful time exploring Olympia. Our driver and guide told us a lot about the area and even had a helpful book to explore the ruins. He also helped make reservations at a winery and olive oil factory so we could avoid the crowds and really enjoy ourselves.

Atanasia, or “Nancy” to us, was exactly what we needed at our port or Katakolon. She coincidentally matched our outfits with shades of brown and olive upon meeting her at the port, perfect foreshadowing for our fun girls day! We were a group of 4 young ladies who weren’t really interested in seeing the archeological sites after many days of them prior on our cruise ship lol. Nancy catered to what we wanted to do, creating the perfect itinerary with a visit to a local honey farm owned by a sweet lady named Klio, an olive oil mil, and winery. All of the stops were so dreamy and the people were so kind! Nancy gave us many laughs, good motherly advice, and cool facts about the Peloponnese region. We had the most perfect day thanks to Nancy!

It was wonderful to get a local person’s knowledge of area! Nancy was outstanding! She tailored the experience to our interests. We were able to go to a less touristy winery which we LOVED! Nancy also offered to show us an olive oil factory/tasting (super cool!) Ancient Olympia grounds are worth the visit!
