The transfers worked fairly well but it was a bit hard to follow the archaelogic site information. His booklet worked somewhat to better identify and we loved the honey farm tour as it was very special meeting the family that owned business.
Stathis, our driver and now our friend, made the day so incredibly delightful. We felt cared for and safe in his hands. He was knowledgeable and pleasant, making sure we had a wonderful experience in Olympia. Highly recommend the service - if you’re lucky, you’ll get Stathis, too!
If you are visiting Olympia, booking with Stathis is an absolute must. From start to finish, his local expertise, warmth, and genuine hospitality made this one of the absolute best stops of our entire Greek vacation. Stathis timed our day flawlessly. Thanks to his intimate knowledge of the area, we were able to see all the major sights right at the best moments, completely bypassing the massive tourist crowds. Beyond being an exceptional guide, he is an amazingly kind and thoughtful host. He made sure our whole group had a great time and paid extra-special attention to our 8-year-old son, even bringing him homemade cookies that he absolutely loved! To top off his incredible generosity, Stathis gifted us a bottle of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, claiming it was the best in Greece—and after trying it back home, we can confirm he wasn't wrong! We ended our tour at an authentic Greek restaurant right on the water that Stathis recommended. Getting to take a quick swim in the sea before sitting down to an incredible meal was the perfect finale to a wonderful day. Stathis's personality, deep expertise, and over-the-top kindness made this experience unforgettable. We cannot recommend him highly enough!
We had a great day out with Stathis. Communication and planning before the trip were excellent. We were collected from just outside of our cruise ship and dropped back off in the same place. We visited Olympus which was very interesting. We were given the option of visiting a small holding bee farm at an extra cost of Euro 12 each, we agreed to this and found it very interesting and worthwhile. We also went to an olive oil production place which was also interesting - there was no additonal cost. Status also offered to take us to a beautiful beach and had brought towels just in case. We didnt go as it was very hot and we were getting tired by this point. Stathis couldnt have been a better guide and i would recommend him and this trip. He also gave us a bottle of local wine which was a nice touch too. We learned a lot about the local area which was appreciated too
This was what we were looking for. Niko was a friendly, informative guide while we drove. We toured Olympia and the museum on our own and then went to a cool olive oil farm for tasting. Ended at a recommended restaurant walking distance to the pier. We liked that we could customize it on the fly. Thank you for a lovely visit Niko!
Nancy was a gem. Everyone of the 14 of us enjoyed the whole trip. We are so glad that we didn't skip the honey farm. Klios was so informative and personable. Well done!!!
The tour was an excellent balance of history sites and engaging activity. Our tour guide Tina was excellent; knowledgeable, funny, and kind. She was very flexible to our requests and made the whole day stress free. George was the driver and our van (specifically the AC) was great and safe. We highly recommend this tour and specifically our guide.
My family had an excellent time on our tour with Stathis. He was so thoughtful and bought us the most delicious cappuccinos at the start of the tour. He was very friendly and happy to talk with us about history and way of life in Greece. Everything went smoothly at Olympia, including the museum and the archaeological site. He took us to a honey farm, which we enjoyed. Our favorite part was the lovely beach that he took us to which had comfortable lounge chairs and umbrellas, and amazing warm and clear water. We also had the best meal we had on our entire vacation which he ordered for us and was very reasonably priced. We would book with him again in a heartbeat.
We had a very enjoyable half-day tour of Olympia. Our driver/guide was friendly, funny, and very personable, which made the experience relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish. He was knowledgeable about the history and area, shared interesting information throughout the tour, and was always happy to answer questions. What we appreciated most was how down-to-earth and approachable he was. He kept things engaging without overwhelming us with too much information and did a great job making everyone feel comfortable. Olympia is an important historical site and well worth visiting, and having a guide with a good sense of humor and a genuine passion for what he does made the experience even better. We’re glad we chose this tour and would recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant and informative introduction to Olympia.
Stathis is so welcoming and knowledgeable. He made sure our tour fit our expectations and group. He gave us history and beautiful sites and food. Half a day was not long enough. Olympia is amazing with the museum, site and food.
