The wonders of Olympia

Published on Oct, 2024

We would always recommend a small group tour if at all possible. Our guide was informative and engaging while giving us as much time as possible to enjoy specific stops on our own. Each stop was interesting and in particular, Olympia. Our guide was knowledgeable and answered the numerous questions we all had about this amazing part of world history. Especially considering the Paris Summer Olympics recently wrapped up. Our visit to the Olive Oil shop in the town of Olympia cool and the beach stop with time for a drink and a light bite while wading in the Aegean Sea just wonderful. Our favorite Viator trip while on our cruise.

Driver Andreas was excellent driver and guide. Loved the olive oil tasting stop as an extra. Beach was beautiful and refreshing. Great archeologist guide at Olympia site. Highly recommended

Easily the best tour of our cruise!

Published on Sep, 2024

Olympia was just amazing. Our tour guide was kind, extremely knowledgeable, and made the tour highly interesting. She went out of her way to help us in any way she could. They could have cancelled us due to low attendance, but instead they sent a private driver to the cruise port to pick us up. Our driver, Costas, was extremely warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We had a choice of beaches and the one we chose was beautiful. Everyone that worked for this tour company was wonderful and we had a lovely time.

Great excursion, you got a little bit of everything !
