An excellent visit to Olympia with Travel Dora, led by the incredible Dora herself!

My experience with Travel Dora was truly wonderful, and a big part of this incredible experience was in thanks to Dora herself. She was truly an amazing guide who radiated friendly energy, was knowledgeable, caring, and always ready to help. From the moment our journey began, she made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Visiting Olympia was one of the highlights of my family trip to Greece. Dora made the experience extra special by sharing her knowledge and passion for this incredible and historical place. Dora’s kindness, professionalism, and wonderful energy made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. She paid attention to everyone’s needs and made sure everything went smoothly throughout the trip. Thank you, Dora, for such a fantastic experience and for making our visit to Olympia so amazing! I would highly recommend Travel Dora to anyone looking for a well-organised and unforgettable trip, led by someone who genuinely cares about her guests and ensuring they have a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your beautiful words! It truly means a lot to me. It was such a pleasure sharing Olympia with you and your family, and I’m so happy I could make your visit extra special. I genuinely enjoyed our time together and will remember you all with a big smile. Wishing you many beautiful family adventures, and who knows? we might see each other in the future.

Wonderful Full-Day Shore Excursion with Dora ❤️

I booked a full-day shore excursion with lunch directly with Dora, and the communication from beginning to end was excellent. Dora was very friendly, accommodating, and organized. She provided a wonderful itinerary for our group of 26, and everything went smoothly. We enjoyed walking around the Olympia Archaeological Site and Museum with our licensed guide, Joanne, and learned so much about the history of this amazing place. Dora also took us to a lovely, family-owned restaurant where we enjoyed delicious food. We had some time for shopping in the town of Olympia, and our last stop was an olive press factory, where we were able to purchase olive oil and olive-based lotions. We spent the day gaining so much knowledge while having lots of fun and wonderful memories together. Thank you, Dora, for the wonderful trip and for making our day in Olympia so special ! ❤️

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! ❤️ It was a pleasure hosting your group and sharing the beauty and history of Olympia with you. I’m delighted you enjoyed the tour, lunch, shopping, and olive press visit. Your kind words mean so much to me, and I hope to welcome you back to Olympia again someday.

Dora was a great guide and driver. We were able to alter the itinerary, even extended our time some and got to stop st The Olive Temple. Lunch was great, opted against the planned buffet

We enjoyed our time in Olympia. Joanna was very pleasant. It would have been better if she had been guiding thru grounds

We would have preferred to be guided thru museum and park- not just a transportation

Operator response

Thank you for your kind words about your time in Olympia and for highlighting Joanna’s pleasant company—we’re really glad you enjoyed that part of the experience. We completely understand your wish to have been guided through the archaeological site and museum. Unfortunately, Greek law is very strict on this matter: only licensed guides are permitted to conduct tours inside archaeological sites and museums. As a company, we fully respect and comply with these government regulations, which means our role is limited to transportation, coordination, and providing general information outside the sites. That said, your feedback is valuable. For guests who prefer in-depth guided visits inside the site and museum, we can always help arrange a licensed guide upon request. We appreciate you choosing us and hope to welcome you again in the future.

Just A Taxi Ride

You are basically just paying for a taxi ride, over 500 dollars. Our driver was very nice and informative, however everything was extra, from the Olympia sites to the lunch. I would not recommend this tour.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear you found your driver kind and informative, though I’m truly sorry to read that the experience did not meet your expectations. Just to clarify, all inclusions and exclusions are clearly listed on the Viator tour description — entrance fees and meals are noted as not included, as the tour is designed to offer guests flexibility in how they wish to spend their time and budget. We always encourage travel agents and guests to review these details carefully before booking to ensure the experience matches what they’re looking for. I hope the rest of your time in Greece was enjoyable, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Ms. Dora is the BEST Tour Operator!

I don't even know where to begin with this review. Ms. Dora was the absolute best tour guide. She was so knowledgeable and helpful with everything we needed to know. Her tour was perfect. The bus was clean and she was able to accommodate our every wish for the tour. If you are visiting here, you should absolutely book with Ms. Dora. I promise you will not be disappointed.

A Magical Day at Olympia with Travel Dora and Penelope

Visiting Olympia would have not been the same without Dora with Travel Dora! She was fantastic and entertaining making us feel at home throughout our visit. Her associate and our tour guide, Penelope who took us through the ruins was equally exceptional making the tour educational and fun! We thank you both for sharing your world with us!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! I’m delighted to hear that both Penelope and I were able to make your visit to Olympia special and enjoyable. I truly appreciate your kind words and I am grateful for the opportunity to share our world with you. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon!"
