Like Time Travellers, we are magically transported to the site where the Olympic Games were held, the most important national event of Greeks, which according to tradition and myths began long before 776 B.C. (the official starting date/point) from Pelopa who won in a race track the King of Pissa, Enomao. Older indications of human presence in Ancient Olympia, were discovered the 4rth millenium B.C. to reach its peak period the 5fth century B.C. during which, politics, philosophers and artists were gathered to spread their ideas.

We will visit the Zeus Temple where the 12 meter high, Golden and Ivory Statue of Zeus was exposed (one of the 7 Wonders of the World) we will see the Philippeio: the unique circular construction, a gift to Zeus from the Great Alexander’s father (the King Philippos the Second) a temple which was completed by Great Alexander himself. We’ll also visit the Ancient Olympic Stadium,the Palaestras (the Athelic Field where wrestlers fight) Hera’s Temple, Ancient Olympia’s Museum, the recunstructions of the Romans who allowed the conduct of the Games without interruption until they ceased in 393 AC. by the edict of Theodosius I, Emperor of Byzantium.

So many amazing experiences packed into one day! - We had an amazing activity packed day tour with Dallas! My son has a special interest in Greek history and it was so great to have private transfers to so many sites all in one day! Dallas provided so much helpful background/context and was so attentive to our needs and comfort. We loved not having to worry about navigation and could focus on exploring the sites at our own pace. We ended the day with a lovely dinner at a family style restaurant back in Athens - we will fondly remember this experience for years to come! Thank you!!

Wonderful Tour - Absolutely an awesome tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and told us so much of the history of the places we were visiting. We even had the chance to see a few more sites other than Ancient Olympia and Ancient Sparta. Our tour guide took us to Mystras, Mycenae, and the beautiful little town of Nafpoli. We had such a wonderful time and it was amazing getting to see all the history in the area. I highly recommend! And if your tour guide is Padi, you will not be disappointed!

Highlights of the Peloponnese - Lovely day trip through the highlights of the Peloponnese. Although we were unable to see the Temple of Apollo Epicurius, were lucky to make a stop at Ancient Corinth which was a beautiful surprise and a new favorite historical site here in Greece. Especially grateful for our wonderful guide and expert driver, Paddy!

Excellent Tour Peloponnese - This is an excellent tour to see the highlights of the Peloponnese. Our van was comfortable and the day just flew by the tour was so good. They were so accommodating to flex to what we wanted to see. Our tour guide Sebastianos really made the day so special and enjoyable. We had such a great time seeing the sights as well as learning Greek mythology and history from him. Our tour included Olympia , Mycenae, Nafplio, and the Corinth Canal and ended with a delicious dinner in Athens. Highly recommend and we will use this company again when we return to Greece.

Spectacular day in the Peleponnese region with Sebastian!! - This was literally my absolute FAVORITE day of my trip to Greece, and much of it had to do with our driver Sebastian. He drove us efficiently and safely to all our destinations and gave us literally the PERFECT amount of time at each location to see everything we wanted to without rushing. He provided historical stories about each location (and fact checked some of the stories we were told by other guides) while keeping great conversation in between. He also gave us an option to see the town of Nafplio instead of the temple on the itinerary and we chose Nafplio and were 100% happier with that choice! The dinner to end the day was spectacular and traditional, which we LOVED. Thank you so much Sebastian for an awesome day in the Peleponnese!! We will forever remember this trip!!

Pack a lot in - Olympia is an amazing site! Mycenae is awesome inspiring. The drive was great too, got to see sunrise and some beautiful mountain views. Greece is remarkable and this 1 day tour helped us fit a little more into our time limited days :) Sebastian was informative and a great driver. Felt safe in a speedy way.
