Best day of the trip!

Our stop in Katakolo and Olympia was the perfect ending to our Greek cruise! From the communication before the tour to the experience itself, everything was exceptional. Andrew was an outstanding guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and able to answer every question we had. Hercules got us everywhere safely, and the air-conditioned Mercedes van was a welcome relief on a 100-degree day. We explored the ancient Olympic ruins and museum, enjoyed delicious wine, cheese, and jam at Drouva Winery, and stopped at The Olive Temple, where we sampled some amazing olive oils. Andrew also recommended lunch at Poso Café just outside Olympic Village. The gyros were delicious, and the portions were huge! Throughout the day, Andrew made sure everyone's needs were met and was happy to adjust the itinerary. We had originally planned to visit the beach, but because of the extreme heat, we changed our minds, and the flexibility was greatly appreciated. This tour is second to none! I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Katakolo and Olympia. Thank you, Andrew and Hercules, for making our day so memorable. It was the perfect way to end our cruise! —Laura

Great tour guide and driver

We had an excellent experience with our tour guide and driver. the tour guide was very knowledgeable and she even had laminated pictures for us to understand what we were seeing in Olympia. She explained things well and was very personable. We highly recommend this tour company. One suggestion is to have an over the head microphone so that audio can be clear while presenting the information. Excellent experience so thank you so much for making this day special for our family.

My family of 14 had a lovely time in Olympia! Everyone was pleasantly happy with the stop at Klio's Honey Farm and even the short time to spend at the beach. The Olympic ruins were interesting but so vast that we didn't take the time to see everything, especially since it was sooo HOT! Our tour escort Anastasia was wonderful! She helped us to avoid the crowds at the museum and was very communicative and accommodating. She was also very patient with us since we had a couple elderly grandmas who moved about slowly. Highly recommend!

A gold medal for Olympia

Olympia was our first private tour with Viator so we didn't know what to expect, as it turns out we had nothing to fear. Charis our guide of the area was so helpful and attentive and the guide he arranged for the tour of the ruins was an actual archaeologist!

Great tour in Olympia

This was a great experience. My wife and I took our family (9 people in total). We highly recommend it. I really didn’t know what to expect at the honey bee farm, but we really enjoyed the visit there. Going to the Olympia museum and ruins was great. We were able to stand at the site where the Olympic torch is lit for each of the games. Nancy, our guide, was amazing. She did a wonderful job. This was genuinely a private tour. Our driver and guide were very accommodating to our unique group and timeline. They picked us up and dropped us off at the port where our ship was docked. I would recommend having a licensed tour guide (which was offered and arranged by the company for an additional 120 euros) to accompany your group inside the Olympia archaeological site. This tour was a wonderful experience.

This is the Tour to Book

Nothing could have been better than the tour Andreas customized for our group. Maybe the best part was how he sequenced the stops to avoid the crowds. This really matters! He is friendly, reliable, answers all questions, and became a friend by the end of our tour. My favorite takeaway was hearing about his family history of making olive oil. He kindly picked up small samples for us from his home on our way back to the shipl Great olive oil!

Informative fun tour

Had a very nice time. Olympia is a must see site. The tour of the honey farm was very interesting, and the owner couldn't have been nicer. Had a drink at a nice restaurant overlooking the sea. Van was comfortable and guide was friendly.
