Reviews
Great time in Katakolo
Lea_N, 19-12-2022
Our family of 8 went on a cruise with a stop in Katakolon. I picked the tour because of the positive reviews. And they were not wrong. Prior to the tour i made a request if we can bring a non motorized wheelchair for Mama and Dora arrived in this big nice Mercedes van where we were able to fit the wheelchair. Dora let us pick where and what we can do on our tour. We also requested a private guide to accompany us inside the ruins and it was a big plus. Aristea gave us just the right amount of history about Olympia which we were able to relate to when we visited Greece later on our cruise.
If you are looking for a private tour in Katakolon, chose Dora!
Thank you Doro for a wonderful time in your city!

The BEST private tour with Dora

Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Dora was an excellent and accommodating tour guide, a true professional who loves her job and sharing knowledge with us tourists!
I would definitely use Travel Dora again.
An excellent day!

Excellent tour, with an excellent tour guide (Dora). We were taken to Olympia and an olive farm/winery. We would have done more, but we were all on a cruise ship, and timing did not permit it. It was a great experience and represented excellent value for money. I highly recommend Dora!
Delightful Day

She is very knowledgeable and her vehicle is very clean, new and as pictured.
We enjoyed going to Olympia, followed by a olive oil tour. We wanted to have lunch in that area as she suggested a café that had great Greek food and delightful hospitality
Dora is the BEST!!!!!

We were met by Dora right at the pier right on time. If you are hesitant about private tours don't be. We did all private tours while on a 10 day cruise and the private tours are the way to go!!!! Dora is by far one of the best ones we have been on. Very laid back, we decided where we went, how long we stayed, where we ate lunch, it was perfect!!!!! If you are browsing tours at Katakolon, this is the one!!!!
