Perfect Day in Olympia Greece

5.00We scheduled a private tour in Olympia, Greece, and had an absolutely wonderful day with our two amazing guides, Nancy and Marilena. They were both incredibly informative, friendly, and passionate about their beautiful region, which made the experience even more special for our family of five. Our tour began at the ancient Olympia archaeological site, where they shared fascinating historical insights. From there, we visited a local olive oil manufacturing business—an unexpected highlight! The olive oil was incredible, and we were thrilled to purchase some to bring home. We ended the half-day tour with a relaxing stop at a beautiful beach, which was the perfect way to wrap up the day. I would highly recommend Nancy and Marilena to anyone visiting Olympia, Greece. This tour was one of our favorite days of the entire cruise!
We had such a great time...

5.00We had such a great time with Panos and his mother. They were so flexible to our itinerary, and gave us lots of options to make the experience memorable. We enjoyed the museum of Olympia (it was very hot that day, so be prepared) when we returned they had cold water waiting for us. We also enjoyed a lovely visit to an olive oil factory, and a honey farm. The people at each business were so kind and treated you like family. We purchased items from both locations and can’t wait to share them with our own family. We highly recommend this excursion. As we were leaving, we stopped at a bakery to send us off with a delicious Greek treat (Baklava) to remember our time on Olympia. Thank you again, Panos! We loved our time with you and your mom. ♥️

5.00Andreas was early to the port and took us where we wanted. He had a great suggestion for lunch that was delish!
Major Disappointment

1.00We were picked up and driven to Olympia with not much of a guided tour as there was very little to see on the way. We got in the line to pay and the entrance fee was $20e each instead of their advertised price of $12e each so that cost us $16e more. Then we were handed an older looking small book and old iPad in a tattered case and told to give ourselves the tour of Olympia. We could not see the iPad because it was outside and the sun was on it. When we asked for headphones so one person could listen amd tell the other, we were given the guide’s old tethered buds. This tour advertised a 4-5 hour guided tour but all you get is a driver. I came a long way to see this and expected to get a “guided tour” but instead I paid almost $300 for just a driver. This was a major disappointment to give my self a tour with a small, old tour book! Don’t Take This Tour!!!
