We had a wonderful time with Anastazia - she had a warm and friendly personality and great knowledge about the area and provided us highlights about it. Anastazia was a great host for this excursion and our group shared a few laughs that made the day more enjoyable! The tour highlight was actually the honey farm where Klio and her family shared their history of honey making and we had a great tasting too. Finished off the day with a quick refreshing dip! Overall if highly recommend this tour if you want the right blend of history, authenticity and beautiful water!!
Andreas was great!

Our experience in Olympia was special. We saw the ruins and museum, tasted fresh honey on diples, and ate lunch overlooking a beautiful beach in Katakolon. Our guide Andreas is a local and as kind and generous as we have ever experienced. He helped us understand the context for the history and culture making sure we were comfortable and hydrated along the way. Ask for him (or his daughter). They are amazing!
Best tour guide ever

Yes, come to Olympia. Come for the wondrous history and temple ruins, come for the beach and the delicious honey-covered treat. But mostly, come for the chance to be entertained and guided by Charis (Harry). Charis was the most hospitable, warm, genuine, and cheerful guide my family and I have ever met. And this is based off of decades of traveling together — a unanimous feeling. Charis not only knew *every* vendor we came across, he gave us honest tips and tricks. He went above and beyond by extending our tour, obtaining some beer for my husband, and helped me find an elusive Christmas ornament in the middle of summer. All the while smiling, jovially laughing, and filling our time with incredible energy. I 100% recommend this tour just for the mere opportunity of hanging out with Charis!
This trip was expensive...

This trip was expensive and really involved transportation to Olympia(we had to pay our admission price and do a self guided tour). We opted out of the honey farm(we also would have had to pay for that). The guide and driver were both professional and kind. The tour guide was fairly knowledgeable. She was difficult to hear at times.
