We had a great experience on our Olympia VR tour! The VR program worked well, and it was interesting to feel immersed in how Olympia was during ancient times. We did have to turn on cell data to download it though. Many people from our cruise ship were on this tour, but the bus did not have enough seats. So 6 of us had to wait another 30-45 minutes for the next bus, which was frustrating. The guides made sure to take good care of us when we arrived later than the rest of the group, and ensured we had the VR guide and tickets, and knew where to go. Boarding busses for the return trip to the port was also a little chaotic. But overall a great experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting!
it's a pity that the VR was not synchronized with the geolocation... wherever you were, it showed you the Temple of Hercules...
This is the home of the Olympics set in a beautiful calm tranquil area with so much history a must see place.
Fantastic tour and transport. George was exceptionally helpful and attentive to everyone’s needs. The VR app was a bit funky on our iPhones but was helpful, great operator!
Very professional and reliable team. They showed these qualities from the moment we checked in until we returned to port. The tour guide’s explanation is based on how the site would have looked when it was newly built and thriving, but this can be a bit confusing. It would be better to include an explanation of how the site looks today and the artifacts that have survived.
We chose this unguided tour so we could go at our own pace. We are 78 and cannot keep up with the younger crowd. After you leave the ship look for a pale, faded blue awning with GRETKA on the corner. The lines to check-in were long. We were told to wait for bus 2 which was 15 minutes late. Evidently they over booked since a second bus showed up. Then we had to walk a long way to where the busses were parked. Bus 2 filled up so we had to get in line for bus 3 and got the last 2 seats on 3 --far apart from each other. It was a mess. After we got to Olympia, they let us off in the middle of town, and we had to walk a very long way to the museum. Other tour busses parked much closer. It was again a very long walk to reach the ruins. We were very tired and went back before seeing very much of the ruins. By the time we walked into town, passing other tour busses three blocks before, we were totally exhausted. Overall a bad experience
The VR aspect of this audio tour was very disappointing…does not work well in the bright sunshine! It was also difficult to find the starting point. We did not get value for the money spent. We visited the site on our own and listened to the audio when we returned to the ship!
The tour guides helped us set up the VR portion of the tour very easily. It was an amazing perspective to see Olympia as it was in the past. For those who love history, it really felt like stepping into the past with the VR experience. The only problem we had was trying to navigate the site, as the map did not line up with everything. Other than that, we had a wonderful time and would definitely do it again.
Place is very historic. Georgio was good but stressed other guide didn't show. App was very poor and kept restarting. Not worth any money.
Olympia was very rewarding, we had a good and quiet driver and our guide George was gracious and very helpful. Back to the boat well in time. Thank you for that.
