5.00George was the absolute best driver ever! We still keep in touch on social media! He took us for a special treat to eat along the way and had a wonderful zest for life! I actually consider him a friend now! Private tour with George is a must!

5.00One of our absolute favorite tours of the trip! Dora welcomed us with warmth and shared such amazing history at every site we visited. She even took us to a beautiful beach, bringing incredible energy and hospitality the whole day. To top it off, she surprised us with grapes and figs from her own garden and a gift of olive oil—such a thoughtful touch. Dora was charismatic, funny, and made the entire experience unforgettable. This was truly one of our best days, and we highly recommend booking with this company!

5.00The driver was waiting right at the cruise port as we walked off the ship. He was very friendly and provided a great drive to Olympia, sharing some local and historical information on the way. He guided us to where we needed to go and loaned us a very helpful book for us to take into the ruins that showed what each ruin looks like now with a page that goes on top to show what it used to look like, plus information about each ruin. He met us when we came back out, drove us to the beach, and coordinated with the locals to get us some beach lounge chairs, table, and an umbrella. The beach was very nice, and there was a great restaurant where we ate lunch on an outdoor covered seating area overlooking the beach. It was nice to be able to use the bathroom inside the restaurant as well. Then the driver got us back to the ship! It was a terrific day- it was so nice to be able to fit in the archaological site and museum, plus a really nice beach! Everything went very smoothly and it was a highlight of our trip!

5.00They were very accommodating. We had Tina with us. She made sure we got through the long lines. She provided water bottles. And directed us exactly where to go and where to meet and what time so everything was spelled out as we went along, which was excellent. Tina was very knowledgeable and she explained everything about the areas we were going through. Love her explanation about the olive trees and the olive oil While Iin the bus going to Olympia, gave us a little course on the beginning of the Olympics. Felt that the tour was very accommodating, very welcoming and very efficient Worked with our group to make sure that we all got to see what we wanted and we’re very happy as we went along. I would recommend them very highly.!!!

5.00Anastasia was the nicest, most accommodating and flexible tour guide - she waited for us (group of 10) to get to the meeting site, private van was luxurious and affordable. She customized our tour and everything was very safe. She is also funny and informed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an Olympia / Katakaloon tour. She also took us to a beautiful winery and olive making site that also serves a delicious lunch in a nice setting, and finally she took us to a beach and arranged a great finish at a beach spa and even called ahead to arrange chairs / beds etc. Highly recommend Anastasia!!! Fyi - we travel a lot and this is by no means our first time.
Amazing Olympia
