The VR was a cool experience. The place to pick up the VR is about 10 min walk from the ancient Olympia site. You do have to give them an ID or passport and they will keep it while you take to VR headset back to the archaeological site, so just be prepared for that. They saw you a nice video to help you learn how to use it.
Incredible experience

What can I say... We can finally project ourselves into the site we visit. It's an amazing experience. Recommend to all. Besides, Achilles is very kind and he's doing a crazy job of giving life to more and more monuments. We need to let him have a space at the entrance to the site to develop his great idea. Thank you again 🙏
Worth it with children and teenagers

We found the virtual reality tour very good. We were able to move at our own pace and got unforgettable impressions of ancient Olympia through the glasses. Especially as a family with teenagers we benefited from the supplement.
Very disappointing experience

Very expensive and uninteresting activity, the technology is completely obsolete. the rental manager to whom we have in returning the equipment tells us our dissatisfaction ended up telling us that it could have been possible to take 1 equipment for two! moreover the store that lends the glasses is far from the Olympia site, do not be afraid to walk too much in the heat, it is not practical at all. in fact, the ancient site is not in agreement with this activity....
You need to do this

You have to do this. It adds to the experience and gives you a better insight to what this place actually used to look like. I would think kids would really enjoy it.
Nice experience- just watch the timing.

This experience was pretty good- but make sure you time it properly with your other plans. The check in point is about a 5-10 minute walk from the site and is closed for a few hours in the afternoon. The information provided was interesting and helped to understand what you are looking at.

The Back to the Future Virtual Eyglasses were absolutely amazing. More than I expected. I believe Viator & the company can do better with transportation to & from as well as getting the information out to cruisers. Lots of folks on my cruise stopped to ask me about the glasses in which I explained. They were exhausted due to all the walking and not having that 3D experience I had with the glasses and the information (history) provided via the earpiece. I really hope they coordinate some form of transportation. Only one company at the port knew where to take me and let us off the bus at the business. Getting there by 11am is the best option and much better than the 2 hrs the bus company provides. The ship also did not provide this option as a shore excursion but I'm going to share it with them. Note: The company closes daily from 1:30 to 3pm.
Cool to see the ruins as they were

Friendly staff, quick and easy to get the glasses, took some time to get used to but was pretty cool. Note that the shop is in town so if your tour lets you off at the ruins you will have to walk into town to get the glasses. our bus let us off in town so it was perfect!!
