5.00This was a nice experience and very interesting to learn about the history of the area. Give yourself ample time to walk around both spaces and be sure to protect yourself from the sun because there is not much shade outside. The museum is a nice excape from the heat and had beautiful artifacts to explore.
Worth the trip - Ancient Olympia

5.00Visiting Ancient Olympia was like stepping back in time. The museum is packed with amazing artifacts. Everything is well laid out and easy to follow, with good signs and helpful info in English. The archaeological site itself is massive and really impressive. Walking through the ruins of the Temple of Zeus and standing on the original Olympic track was surreal. It’s mostly outdoors, so bring water and wear good shoes especially in summer. Overall, it’s a fascinating and memorable place. Whether you’re into history or just curious, it’s totally worth the trip. Purchasing the tickets via Viator made it one step easier.

5.00Excellent site and museum. Enjoy much more than the Vatican. Beware when they scan your ticket to enter museum, it then shows used and you can’t get into archaeological site unless you go to ticket booth and stab in line to get a hand ticket after much wasted time.
Expensive tickets and over sold audio guides

2.00Olympus is great but these tickets are not good value. We paid more for the tickets than you would on the door. Plus they included an extra charge for an audio guide but there aren’t any at any of the site.
Just an OK tour with Grekaland

3.00Used Grekaland tours they Viator, very confusing at port, had to walk a distance to find them, then further to the bus. Our guide was ok, older woman was very nice but she seemed to be struggling with all the climbing and walking. She needs a better way to ID her than the pink umbrella bc a few people had them. Seeing the ruins was awesome, my group was less than enthused at the amount of information given. I love using aviator to book tours but not necessarily this one.
