A walk into the past - As we entered the original Olympic stadium we felt like we stepped back in time. To learn what happened to the original location and how they discovered it and restored it is a great history lesson. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and answered all our questions.

Olympia was wonderful! - Elana was excellent. We loved that she was our personal guide inside the museum as well as outside at the excavation site. It was one of our favorite tours of the entire trip through the Greek Isles and Italy.

Disappointed and Frustrated - The most memorable that happens is nothing. The tour guide left us because there was a mix up in the tour’s departure. The tour guide gave us departure time me at 9:00 am in July 2023. Viator gave us a time of 9:00 am Sept 11. On Sept 16 Viator sent us a text claiming confirmation stating the tour start at 12 noon. We relied heavily on Viator since we made our reservation with them but yet both Viator and the tour company said that it was our fault we missed the tour.
