Olympic Site and Honey Farm

We were glad we visited the site of the Olympics. Very good lady guide and plenty of time to see the entire site. After that we changed from the beach to a honey farm with the rest of the group. Weather was the reason we choose to skip the beach. The honey farm was a pleasant time and the guide we had was wonderful. I would suggest this tour to anyone.

My husband and I loved this small group tour. There were about 15 people and we were transported in a very nice Mercedes van. Both of our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We loved it!
Highly recommend!

We had two tour guides for this excursion. The tour guide for Olympia was wonderful! She provided us with the history of the Olympic Games and made it fun. The next stop was supposed to be the beach. Instead we stopped for an Olive Oil demonstration. We had already attended one in another excursion, so I was disappointed with the unplanned stop. This also reduced our time at the beach to 45 minutes. I took a walk on the beach and there was a lot of trash in the sand. I would not recommend this beach for a beach trip. Our second tour guide provided us with more information about his home and time at Greece vs information on the area. One time is not bad, but the majority of the excursion was too much. I would not recommend this excursion.

We would always recommend a small group tour if at all possible. Our guide was informative and engaging while giving us as much time as possible to enjoy specific stops on our own. Each stop was interesting and in particular, Olympia. Our guide was knowledgeable and answered the numerous questions we all had about this amazing part of world history. Especially considering the Paris Summer Olympics recently wrapped up. Our visit to the Olive Oil shop in the town of Olympia cool and the beach stop with time for a drink and a light bite while wading in the Aegean Sea just wonderful. Our favorite Viator trip while on our cruise.
