This tour is more a comfortable transfer to the sites without dealing with the public masses. Drive was accommodating to our needs and desires and did answer some questions. We were able to see an olive oil factory, a populated beach, and of course Olympia.
Disappointing Tour

This tour was nothing that we expected! We booked it as a private tour and asked our guide what he had planned for us and we were surprised he really didn’t know what the tour consisted of! Told us his boss told him to drop us for 2 hours at Olympia and Museum! Worst tour of our vacation! Only reason we are giving one star is that we did enjoy the Olive Farm we went too! Would not recommend this tour! Not worth the money!
Great Experience

Demetri was a very kind, attentive and sensible driver. his attention to detail was great and he gave us good information which saved us time. the trip to the olive oil factory was also well worth our time.

We had a wonderful intimate tour with Dimitris sharing our day with him. He showed us the best of Olympia site and museum and also his community. He took us to his friend that makes olive oil for a tour of how olive oil is made (He has 150 olive trees himself). After the tour, we tasted 8 different oils and infused oils. As the day proceeded, we shared our lives and became fast friends. He also took us to one of his favorite seaside restaurants for a last lunch. He extended our time because he wanted to experience his best life and culture. I would definitely recommend Dimitris as your guide.
Great tour

It's not a guided tour per se', but Andrea is a local guy and loves his city and it shows. He told us alot about the area while driving us to the Archealogical sites. Once there you're on your own to tour museum and Olympic stadium ruins. It's much bigger than we realized. We didn't have a tour, but there are signs and we enjoyed it. I think you can get an audio tour at the museum, but we didn't, everything was labeled. Where to see a honey farm called Kilos and it was very interesting and unique. Later Andrea took us to a local seafood restaurant that was fabulous! Andrea was prompt, polite, accommodating and very nice. Recommend!
