Dora was our guide. She was AMAZING! Pick up was easy and quick. The van was clean and air conditioned. I was really impressed. Dora gave us various information about the area as well as the Olympic history. Being from the area, she shared local traditions and best spots for eating and shopping. She guided around the ancient site before we got there with stories of the history and what to expect. When we actually arrived, we felt like we knew the area and it made it our experience more enjoyable. Dora guided us through out the day. She could tell I was overwhelmed with the new environment/ city and she eased my mind by taking time to explain everything from where to go and where to meet. Dora was always there to help out. When we went to the beach, she had our umbrella and lounge chairs ready for us. The beach was beautiful. Don’t forget your goggles. I highly recommend this tour. I wish I could do it again.
10/10 day. Andreas met us at the cruise port and took our group of 10 to ancient Olympia. The mini bus was a very comfortable ride with great air conditioning and bottles of water. Olympia was an amazing place to see and the museum was also very impressive. Next he took us to the beach where he had reserved umbrellas for us and we swam and ate and drank for the afternoon before returning to the ship. Fantastic day despite the heat.
Great experience ! They customize the tour to your liking . Kourouta beach was very nice and lunch there was great with good sea view ! Charis showed great attention to details before the tour started . Andreas and Hercules did a great job. It is all in the details ; they had the van a/c on when they knew we are 5 min out , they called and made lunch reservations and reserved cabanas at the beach !!
We loved our tour guide, George. He gave us a lot of information and was so much fun and personable. We would definitely request him again when we come back. The tour was a bit pricey, and it did not include lunch, which surprised me.
Niki was awesome. Very organized and no stress getting to her and getting back to cruise on time. She was knowledgeable and kind - was a wonderful day and would recommend. Also not sure of the drivers name but it was lovely as well
We had an absolutely amazing tour from start to finish! Everything was well organized, informative, and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Tina, was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture. She made every stop interesting and kept the group engaged with great stories and insights. A special thank you to our driver, George, who was professional, courteous, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. His driving was smooth, and everything ran right on schedule. Together, Tina and George made this a truly memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and stress-free way to explore. Five stars!
Wonderful guides and driver. Super friendly. Perfect way to see the Original site of the Olympics on your own as well as visit a nearby beach and see the countryside while in port.
Our driver and guide were incredible! So friendly and attentive. Bus was more than good. Definitely will recommend to anyone booking for a party of friends or family. Everything was taken care of for us.
Best tour! Highlight of our trip. Had an authentic experience visiting Greece. Visiting a winery and a beautiful beach!
George was the absolute best driver ever! We still keep in touch on social media! He took us for a special treat to eat along the way and had a wonderful zest for life! I actually consider him a friend now! Private tour with George is a must!
