An experience - Our tour guide was so-so. Not much to see in Olympia. The one good thing about having a private tour is that you dont feel rushed at all. Missed the museum because of miscommunication from our guide.

Excellent tour to see Olympia - Our guide was great. She was very knowledgeable about the area and was great with my overheated kids. Although seeing ancient Olympia was amazing we loved going to Klio's honey farm. It was very cool seeing this farm ran after many generations. My daughter was basically drinking the honey. Such a cool experience.

A Fantastic Tour with Greek History, Nature & A Beautiful Beach - This is a fantastic tour that includes the Greek history, nature and a beautiful beach. Our family (ages 22 to 80) had an amazing time. Harris is the BEST tour guide we’ve ever had. He is personable, fun and truly cares about people. The Olympia ruins and museum were very interesting. Klio’s Honey Farm was really nice. They served everyone coffee, juice, water and wafers with honey. We bought Klio’s honey wax cream. It’s a moisturizing antiseptic. It has healing properties because it’s helping my mom’s psoriasis! The beach location was beautiful and had a restaurant and bar. Finally, we want to give a special thanks to Harris for going above and beyond to help our family. We needed to go to the Health Center and pharmacy. Harris took us there and served as an interpreter. We got our dad the medication, which literary saved our vacation. We will always be incredibly grateful.

Olympia and Honey Farm - We were a party of 6 and booked the minivan with driver and guide. The trip was as advertised with a visit to Olympia and we had the option to visit a honey farm or other locations if we preferred. The guide did not accompany us into Olympia and suggested we just spend about 30 minutes walking the site (she did provide us with an illustrated book but I think having an audio guide would have been better to really understand what we were looking at). We opted to go to the honey farm which was an enjoyable local experience. Our guide then asked us what else we wanted to do, which we didn't know as we'd never been there and asked for recommendations, which were hard to come by. We asked about seeing a beach (for scenic purposes and maybe a quick dip in the water for our teen girls) and were driven to a hotel where we felt awkward and obligated to buy refreshments to access the beach. We didn't spend much time there and asked to be driven back to the port instead. In comparing this tour with driver/ guide combo to others we experienced in other cruise ports, I'd say the guide portion was lacking from an information perspective (we didn't learn much from the guide about the region and Olympia).
