a must do!

We were greeted with a luxury mini bus, and they told us lots of details of the area and where we were headed. Olympia itself was a but underwhelming but we also struggled walking with having elderly family members with us. After that we chose to go to a traditional greek lunch and they brought us to a delicious restaurant that was truly some of the best food we've ever had in our lives. The prices were perfect, portions good and what a great way to experience greece! This was absolutely worth it and would use them again
Best choice!

The service is super! Starting with the friendly e-mail contact in advance. The suggestions for visiting places are really super; the information during the ride is nice and interesting and ofcourse the taxibus is luxury!
5* company!

Charis was a wonderful tour guide.....he was knowledgeable and went out of his way to help us get our VR glasses. He also tailored our tour - he suggested a detour to a wine tasting that was fantastic!!! Lovely location and great wines!

Highly recommend both Charis and the VR glasses to bring Olympia to life!
Nice visit to Olympia

The visit to Olympia was good. Our driver Nickolaos was very nice and informative. The Olympia visit without a guide was a bit challenging, but enjoyable. I would definitely make arrangements to access an audio tour to understand the ruins you are looking at or hire a guide. Nikolaos gave his "lay over" book to walk around with that showed us the original structures compared to the ruins that exist today that provided some information to help guide us. After the visit to Olympia, we very much enjoyed some time at a winery and then a nice, authentic lunch (away from the port). Overall, it was a nice day.
Delightful day

Dropped off at Olympia site, then on to Mountain top monastery then the coast. Marlena was a cheerful and engaging guide. Would recommend.
