Kleine groep Katakolon naar Olympia-tour
Beschrijving
Sluit je aan bij onze kleine groepsexcursie aan wal vanuit de haven van Katakolon met ons volledig van airconditioning voorziene voertuig (minibus of touringcar) inclusief skip-the-line tickets. Rijd 45 minuten van Katakolon naar Olympia met commentaar aan boord van je gids. Bij aankomst in Olympia kunt u genieten van een rondleiding door de archeologische vindplaats en het museum met een officieel erkende Engelssprekende gids. Daarna heb je vrije tijd om de moderne stad Olympia te verkennen voordat je terugkeert naar de haven. Wij zorgen er altijd voor dat u vóór ‘all-aan-boord’-tijd terugkeert naar de haven. De starttijd van de tour is afhankelijk van de aankomsttijd van het cruiseschip. Als het schip bijvoorbeeld om 09.00 uur arriveert, start de tour om 09.30 uur in plaats van 08.30 uur.

We loved every minute of our tour! Our guide was informative and personable. She did an excellent job of avoiding the crowds whenever possible and gave us time to explore our surroundings in Olympia. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Wonderful adventure in Olympia. Zoe was just amazing…so knowledgeable and she added fun facts that gave the experience a nice twist. She was so professional and took great care with our group of 15. Exceptional museum and the ruins are amazing.
Thank you for choosing us and for your beautiful review.
I loved this tour! We only had 11 people in our group and our guide was an archaeologist who was so informative about the entire site. We got there early and toured the museums first which really helped us understand the site before arriving. Our guide was fantastic and told us some stories of Greek mythology too!
Thank you for choosing us and for your amazing review!
Excellent tour of the archaeological sites and the museum. There is some shade at the site, but make sure you take a hat or umbrella and plenty of water as it gets very hot.
Thank you!
We were lucky enough to get Zoe as our guide. She’s a trained archeologist and knew an incredible amount of detail about the archeological site. The transportation was top notch and the tour ran right on schedule. Definitely take the lunch option if it’s offered. The food was authentic and very good.
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed our semiprivate tour with Zoe. We are looking forward to offering you our services again in the future.
This adventure to Olympia was a delightful learning experience of walking through the original Olympic site and hearing about the facts from our very knowledgeable tour guide Zoe. She added so much information to this not to be missed your.
Zoe is a great guide and asset for our company. Thank you for choosing us.
Super tour to ancient Olympia with Niki Tours! Our guide, Zoe, was fantastic!!! She gave us background history during the drive. And she did a great job guiding us thru the ancient site. The stop at the olive oil press was fun - and very tasty. I highly recommend this tour - and Niki Tours in general!!!
Thank you for choosing us and for the great review.
Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide (I think Shelly was her name) was extremely knowledgeable and had a good understanding of archeology and the history of Greece. She organised our small group so that we did not get stuck with the masses of 40+ people bus tourists and we had a very relaxing time and back well in time for our ships departure. She also was independent and not pushing any agendas!
Thank you for your review. We are doing our best to offer hight quality services that don't include non necessary tourist stops and we hire the best professionals to deliver our tours.
Zoe was an amazing tour guide filled with knowledge and a passion for history. She made this tour fun and interesting. In fact it was the first tour we took that held my interest and kept the entire group engaged. The tour lunch was outstanding as well.
Thank you for choosing us and for taking the time to share your beautiful review with us.
Our tour to Olympia and site of the original Olympic Games was unbelievable. Our tour guide Zoey was extremely knowledgeable and walked us through the various section of the site as well as through the museum. She gave a real sense of the Olympic spirit and her descriptions of the various works of art were fantastic. The tour ended with a wonderful and delicious buffet lunch at a local restaurant which also included an OPA dance presentation. We truly felt immersed in the Olympic and Greek culture for a day. Kudos also to our bus driver who went out of his way to make our journey comfortable and minimize walking.
Thank you for choosing us. We are so happy that our hard efforts to offer high quality services have been successful. We hope to have you visit our beautiful country again soon!
