Great tour - This was a wonderful tour! Ancient Olympia was awe inspiring and the winery & olive oil farm were a wonderful tour and tasting experience. Our tour guide Niki was very friendly! I would suggest the virtual reality or in person tour guide for Olympia so that you get the full history.

Olympia...very impressive and easy to enjoy. - We loved visiting Olympia and traveling thru the Greek countryside. Our guide, Niki, was very knowledgeable of her country and we could tell how much she loves it. She took excellent care of us...sometimes that can be like herding cats! If you go to Katakolon, be sure to go to Olympia and be sure to visit the museum.

Great time in Katakolon Greece Olympia, Winery and Beach - We had such a great time on our tour. Our driver was prompt and we got going right away. Avoided crowds and beat the tour buses. Nicholi was great and told us all about the island. He took us to the Olympia and made sure we had our tickets and new exactly where to go. Then off to the winery again making sure we were settled and waited for us to complete our visit. Lastly we headed to the beach where we could sit and relax with a drink. He dropped us off in town for some shopping and we were bock on board the ship in plenty of time. Perfect day!!!

Olympia Tour - Great excursion to see Olympia. Our driver was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. Well done for a great job. The beach visit wasn’t the best location as it was busy and extremely rocky

Great tour - We enjoyed visiting Olympia, but did it on our own. At the winery and Olive farm, we were also on our own. Our guide Niki was very nice but could not join us.

Highlights of Olympia - We toured with Jimmie who was a great guide. He picked us up promptly at the ship with a sign with our name. He took us to the Olympic site and made sure that we got in with our "skip the line" preference. We were supposed to go to a winery but he said it was busy with buses so we went to a honey farm instead. That was very interesting and we wouldn't have normally done that. He did go out of his way to make sure we saw highlights of Olympia.

Very disappointed. Tour guide canceled on us last minute. - We booked this tour 5 months ago. There were 4 of us a day we had option to use a mini bus or 4 seat Eclass Mercedes. We chose the mini bus. 2 days before the tour the guide confirmed the 4 seat Eclass Mercedes. I told him I booked a limit bus as there were 4 of us and would not be comfortable in a 4 seat car with driver and then they canceled the tour saying the mini bus was out of service. It was then too late for me to book anything else with such short notice so we needed up with no tour in Olympia
