We had a wonderful time...

5.00We had a wonderful time exploring Olympia. Our driver and guide told us a lot about the area and even had a helpful book to explore the ruins. He also helped make reservations at a winery and olive oil factory so we could avoid the crowds and really enjoy ourselves.
Fun girls day with Nancy!

5.00Atanasia, or “Nancy” to us, was exactly what we needed at our port or Katakolon. She coincidentally matched our outfits with shades of brown and olive upon meeting her at the port, perfect foreshadowing for our fun girls day! We were a group of 4 young ladies who weren’t really interested in seeing the archeological sites after many days of them prior on our cruise ship lol. Nancy catered to what we wanted to do, creating the perfect itinerary with a visit to a local honey farm owned by a sweet lady named Klio, an olive oil mil, and winery. All of the stops were so dreamy and the people were so kind! Nancy gave us many laughs, good motherly advice, and cool facts about the Peloponnese region. We had the most perfect day thanks to Nancy!

5.00It was wonderful to get a local person’s knowledge of area! Nancy was outstanding! She tailored the experience to our interests. We were able to go to a less touristy winery which we LOVED! Nancy also offered to show us an olive oil factory/tasting (super cool!) Ancient Olympia grounds are worth the visit!
Nice day in Katakolon

5.00We had a nice time with our driver Nancy. She picked us up promptly at the port in a comfy car and dropped us off at the Olympia site and was great with communication. We weren't sure what we wanted to do, so she suggested a very quaint family run vineyard where we had nice wine accompanied with some delicious food. I would recommend this tour company.
Perfect day!

5.00We were picked up in a very nice Mercedes. Our guide was Maria and our driver was Demetria (who doubled as a second guide!!) They took us to Olympia first knowing that we would beat the crowds. And we did!! We essentially toured it by ourselves and as we left it was soo packed full of people. Then we had a tasting at winery and then an olive oil factory. Our guide and driver had great connections which allowed us to do all of this in a short but meaningful time and they shared their stories and knowledge. It was incredible. Highly recommend for anyone
Wonderful tour from a wonderful local guide!

5.00Andreas was an amazing guide! He met us at the port with a large and clean passenger vehicle and took us to the ancient Olympic archaeological site. After visiting the site and the museum (both part of the same admission price - 20 euro), Andreas drove us to the center of the Olympic village for a late lunch. The area was picturesque with flowers in bloom everywhere. He made a great recommendation for our lunch! After, we visited an olive oil mill and samples delicious olive oils. It was a lovely day and was perfectly paced. Andreas gave us several options and recommendations and allowed us to choose our itinerary and pace. I would highly recommend Andreas to anyone visiting this area. I look forward to coming back and seeing him again!
Great personal touch tour!

5.00Christos was a wonderful driver and guide. He helped us make the most of our time getting to Olympia before the crowds and arranging additional stops for our day. Loved the olive oil mill in particular.

5.00Our driver Andreas was on time and in the right location. He drove us to a Olympia and explained about olives and what we were seeing along the way. He loaned us a book about the ancient site and helped us get our tickets to the museum and grounds. He waited for us nearby and then drove us to a great cafe in the nearby town. We then went to Oilympia for a tasting and back to town to shop and get back on the ship. His accent was heavy but very understandable
