  Nancy was a lovely human being. She cared so much about doing what we wanted to do. We wanted to go off the advertised tour and she had no problem doing it. We went to places that were not overcrowded. The tour was very personalized and special. Rarely do you connect with your guide as want to give hugs all around. A very memorable tour for us, as was our guide. Thank you, Nancy.

• A perfect day in Olympia!

  We had a very enjoyable day taking this tour from the port of Katakolon. Marilena was our driver and she did a great job getting us safely where we wanted to go and provided narration along the way. The first part of our our tour was the achaeological ruins of Olympia. She showed us where to buy our tickets for the site/museum combo and then picked us up when we were done. I'm grateful that she provided us a book (Olympia and the Olympic Games - the momuments then and now) to take with us into the site. Otherwise we would not have known what we were looking at. The book is so awesome that I bought a copy of it when I returned to the US. Anyway, other than that we hung around some other tour groups and gleaned from what we could hear their guides saying. The second part of our trip was to Klio's Honey Farm. We enjoyed this very much! Marilena gave us a choice of visiting the honey farm, or a vineyard, or a place that produces olive oil. The third part of our trip was to visit downtown Olympia. She showed us where to get the food we wanted, we visited a few shops, and she helped us get pictures. Our final stop was a quick visit to a gorgeous rocky/sandy beach area. Breathtaking views and few minutes with our feet in the water. She dropped us off in the city center or Katakolon with plenty of time to spare to get to the ship, so we were able to leisrely stroll through the shops and purchase souvenirs. Olympia/Katakolon was our fourth and final port in Greece, so we were appreciative of the time to spend on our own. One other final thing about Marilena was that she went out of her way to help us mail postcards. That was super helpful to us and we would absolutely recommend hiring a private driver to make the most of your cruise ship excursion. The whole day it was just me, my husband, and Marilena. The only thing that might have been nice would have been a guide in the archaeological area - but I appreciate the extra mile with her providing the book. A great day overall!

  We 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 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. ♥️

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