I'm fine. New car, very comfortable and ample space - The very nice driver has his own restaurant - The food was very good and cheap there - after visiting Olympia he drove us to a small very nice beach. On Viator's site I searched for German tours and they were suggested to me. She's in English, though, where I'm scared at first. He then gave us a German booklet. Because everything in Olympia is written in German, you can also go well without a tour guide. The ticket costs EUR 20.00 per person.

Nassos picked us up at the port in a beautiful, cool, luxurious van. Andraes answered all of our questions and told us about his country. They connected us to Helena, a tour guide for Olympia. We enjoyed her very much. Then Nassos picked us up after we toured Olympia, and we did a little shopping before going swimming in the sea. Nassos then took us back to the port. It was a wonderful excursion. You have a car and driver for the morning. They want you to be happy and will take you where you want to go.

Nicolas and Andreas were caring and kind drivers. They gave us time to fully understand Olympia and soak up history and culture. They have been open to our requests. It was a nice accompaniment that we recommend.
