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.
Very enjoyable half day private bus tour

Wonderful Experience! Entire day was so enriching. Learned so much and felt so welcomed. The archaeological park was surprising with many artifacts so well preserved, and we had fun racing in the Olympic stadium! The bee farm was a beautiful and hospitable experience with delicious treats, and the beach was a great end to the day. Our guide Constantina allowed for a special quick souvenir stop for one of our friends in the party in which she actually got off the bus with her to guide her to the shop for her specific request!! The driver was skilled and we felt safe the whole time. Although we had time constraints, we never felt rushed and she felt like a friend by the end of the tour.
