Very attentive tour...

5.00Very attentive tour operators, bus to site very comfortable My overall experience was good; however, it would have been better if an information pamphlet were available as the audio format using my phone consumed a lot of battery. In saying this I would still recommend
Disappointed

1.00**Disappointing Experience – VR and Audio Didn’t Work** We were really disappointed with this tour. The main reason we booked was for the **virtual reality and audio guide**, but unfortunately neither worked properly. The VR app wouldn’t load, and the audio guide never played, which made it really hard to understand what we were looking at among the ruins. Without those features, it was basically just transportation to and from Olympia. The site itself is incredible and full of history, but we expected the technology to enhance the experience and provide context — instead, it caused a lot of frustration. For the price, we definitely expected better organization and functioning equipment. Would not recommend unless they fix the VR and audio issues.
A little disappointed

3.00Our audio did not work on either phone so we walked through the ruins not knowing at all what we were looking at.
Excellent Experience!

5.00Perfect opportunity to see ancient Olympia! The ruins were amazing, the village outside was quaint and a great place for lunch, and the VR experience provided lots of details. Our guide Chrisy and driver were the best!
Awesome Ancient Olympia
