Wonderful experience! - The Olympia site is in itself impressive, but the VR viewing enhances it to a next level. It shows you beautiful images of the buildings and even moving athletes and philosophers. A useful commentary is available in many languages. Absolutely worth the money! The pickup point is not at the entrance of the site, but in the middle of town, opposite the church. From there it's a few minutes drive to the parking lot of Olympia.

VR Magic at Ancient Olympia: Hidden Shop Transforms Ruins into 3-Hour Adventure Kids Actually Loved - Our family's visit to Ancient Olympia was completely transformed by this incredible virtual reality tour! While the address provided was correct, do note that the actual shop is located just around the corner, opposite to the church—a minor detail but helpful for anyone trying to find it. The owner was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable, taking time to explain how the VR glasses worked and sharing fascinating historical context before we even started. What impressed me most was how the glasses made ancient ruins come alive right before our eyes—suddenly we could see buildings, athletes, and ceremonies as they would have appeared thousands of years ago! Our children (9 and 15) were absolutely mesmerized—something I wasn't expecting with historical sites. What was planned as a quick one-hour tour ended up being over three hours of exploration, and not once did they ask "when are we leaving?" The 3D reconstructions and stories behind each location kept them engaged and asking questions throughout. The virtual reality component provided such rich context to what would otherwise have been just piles of stones. We could see the Temple of Zeus with its massive statue, watch Olympic events in the stadium, and understand how the training facilities were used—all while standing in the exact spots where history happened. This tour was worth every euro and minute spent. If you're visiting Ancient Olympia, especially with children, this is absolutely the way to experience it. The perfect blend of education and entertainment that brings history to life!

Interesting for children - An interesting experience, which makes the visit more fun, especially for children. A priori, the images are taken from the game Assassin's Creed Odyssey (but perfectly adapted to the young audience!)

My family enjoyed the... - My family enjoyed the tour. It’s hard to know what you’re looking at when you’re at Olympia. The VR was very helpful.

Olympia virtual reality tour - a must-do - Would highly recommend this virtual reality self-guided walking tour for Olympia. Most of the sites at Ancient Olympia are very much in ruins - this tour gives information and context that are necessary to fully understand what you are looking at. The sign posts at the site are not enough to make sense of the ruins. You may look a little silly walking around with the glasses on, but it’s definitely worth it

Great! We recommend 300%!!! - Great experience! Already, the glasses work very well, locating where you are by GPS point and the instructions that trigger themselves. The images are of very good quality, the explanations also. We did the French version and the translation was very good. We are well aware of the layout of the place, we learn a lot and it is really a great way to own this place...especially when you are with children / teens!!!

Fantastic experience very nicely done - It was really fantastic. Very clear explanation. Then to the excavation via a route you stop at 15 points. There you get all kinds of nice info and you can really see what it used to look like. You can go into buildings. Let athletes run. Very nice and professionally made.

Amazing Experience! - The VR glasses showing the buildings and statues in all their grandeur was awesome!!! Many people around us kept asking what we were reacting to that they couldn’t see. In addition, many asked us where we rented the glasses. When we were returning them we noticed one of the people who asked outside your store!!! Kudos to you for this innovative idea!!!
