5.00This small group tour was wonderful. The guide at Olympia was a very interesting expert who brought a lot of value to our short time together. Our driver was friendly and helpful. The beach was beautiful and had free lounge chairs, umbrellas, a couple of restaurants, and a place to change. We had a relaxing and fulfilling day.
Perfect day in Olympia.

5.00It was a very pleasant experience. Our tour guide Marios was very informative and made sure everyone felt relaxed and enjoyed the tour. The beach he took us was great, and Natalia that gave us the monument tour was very nice as well. We enjoyed her explanations.

3.00The Olympics tour was wonderful. Natalia was a great guide and informative. They charged us an additional 20 Euros to get into the grounds. They started that it would cost 20 Euros to go to the museum not to get into the olympics site. Marios was a great guide on the bus, but when we got to the beach they had no chairs for us to sit on. This was a neighborhood public beach it was crowded and no section for the tour people. It was very disappointing because the beach was beautiful but we could not get on it.
