Excellent tour to see it all at a relaxed pace. We chose to see the Olympic museum and ruins, visit an olive oil mill and enjoy some beach time. All great. We loved the flavored olive oils and shipped home to the US. Our tour guide was Marilena and she was amazing. She provided just the right amount of information while she safely drove us all over the island. We would recommend the tour and suggest you request Marilena.
We were very disappointed in our trip. Our guide didn’t not give us any history and handed us a book at Olympia for us to figure out on our own. Not at all what we expected. He was friendly and talkative but I feel like I have to come back to actually learn about the history
This was relaxing and comfortable AC vehicle and Cristo was terrific The Olympic stadium was well worth the money spent. !
An excellent experience with our personal chauffeur and guide Christos. Was very knowledgeable , explaining all the history, culture, geography and economics of the region. He custom tailored our experience to suit us with his guidance. Most enjoyable. Highly recommend. Thank you Christos for a wonderful day.
Great driver & guide. Really gave us a taste of authentic Greek life. Would highly recommend this tour
We had a great time! Marilena was an amazing host! Absolutely the best day of our cruise! Olympia was fascinating, the olive/wine tours were amazing and so good (I now like olives, LOL), and the beach was absolutely beautiful! Our first time in Greece and I couldn’t imagine it going any better! Highly recommend to everyone! Will definitely return for an extended stay in Greece.
We had a great private tour with Nikolas - he was so informative and flexible for the tour to be what we wanted it to be! He showed us around the port and then told us all about Olympia on our way to the Olympic site. After that, he took us to an olive oil mill per our request which was a real highlight! We got to se how they take such great care and pride in the olive oil in Greece and specifically Olympia. We bought a ton of olive oil - the family that runs it is amazing! Would highly recommend!!
This is a great way to visit Olympia, experience a local olive oil mill and winery. Andreas was an excellent driver and guide for the day. We appreciated his suggestions for our itinerary and he even stopped along the route so we could experience and taste fresh figs growing along the road. We were a group of 5 adults. I was able to message in advance and Andreas helped us set up our itinerary. He was very clear on instructions for all of our stops and was excellent at timing everything so we could beat the crowds and heat. We elected for a 7:30 am pick up from the Katakolon Port. It was easy to find him and we had plenty of time for a little shopping at the port after our excursion.
Probably one of our favorite tours. Andreas was an excellent guide. We saw ancient Olympia and the he took us to a honey farm and and olive oil press company. He then helped us find a wine in the super market as it was a request for us to bring back to my step mother. Then he recommended Jimmies for the best gyros and baklava. Would definitely recommend Andreas and this tour.
Very reasonable price (390€ for 5 people). Panos spoke very good English and was a great guide. We traveled in a large, comfortable, air conditioned car. He and his mum, who was the driver, were very flexible and let us choose where we went and how long to stay. Olympus was amazing and the vineyard very pretty. We enjoyed 5 delicious wines and a generous selection of cheese, meats. etc. We finished up on a picture perfect beach, before being returned to our cruise ship, in good time.
