Not far to walk to the shop from the port. Left and arrived back on time. At olympia would have been better with guided head phones, using our mobile not the easiest as changing glasses all the time. Rep and driver both very nice and helpful.
A fascinating place to visit

The description of the provider made me think that we would be on an open top bus but it was an air conditioned coach. Only 6 people were on our bus. The guide, George was most helpful and made sure we got our tickets through WhatsApp during the bus ride. I had to bring up though that I’d booked online and tickets were included so be aware of that. George assisted with the set up of the audio virtual guide on our phones. It was hard to match it to the ruins in front of you, particularly because we walked in a different direction to the commentary. Directions would have been useful. However the app proved to be very entertaining after the tour as you have access for 12 hours. The museum (seen first) was my favourite part. Amazing!
Great experience

This was an incredibly interesting experience that covered the archaeological site as well as several museums. It was a very warm day so luckily we brought lots of water. The tour group also handed it out for free and the bus was nicely air conditioned. Chrysi was a great guide and very knowledgeable!

I am really unhappy about this tour. We paid for the audio and video in the ruins, and it didn’t work at all. Our guide loaded it to our phones. I feel we should be refunded some of my money. This is the first Viator tour I have been unhappy with. I feel our tour guide should have walked through the ruins with us. Then we had to wait for about 20 minutes to be able to go in the museum because our tickets weren’t working. Then had to wait because a person didn’t make it to our bus.
Our guide was ineffective...

Our guide was ineffective did not offer information on the ride. The audio record recordings could not be downloaded and when you could download them, you are out of range of being able to hear them. Will not recommend.
