Great Experience for Small Group - Our family of four had an excellent experience from start to finish. Christios was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating to us. He was able to make some adjustments on the fly to allow us to spend more time at areas we were interested in. Very reasonably priced for the service you receive.

Extraordinary experience - We had a fantastic experience! Panos was our guide. The beautiful, spacious Mercedes mini van picked us up and took us to Olympia to see the incredible sites. He was a knowledgeable, kind and patient guide … making sure we all had waters and worked the tour to fit our schedule. He took us to an incredible seafood restaurant for lunch , waited for us the entire time and took us right back to the boat. I would highly recommend this company. Just a great all around experience!

Fantastic tour! - Christos was amazing. He had so much history to share and knew where to go to make the most of our time. He was kind, open to anything we wanted to see or change, and filled with suggestions that made for a fantastic day for us and our adult children.
Besides the Olympic ruins, our favorite thing was Klio’s honey farm. Klio taught us about her family business and so much about bee keeping/honey making.
This tour added a great local feel to Olympia. We highly recommend Christos to all!

A great day with Marilena! - Marilena was an excellent host for 4 ladies - she met us in time, took us to the Olympic ruins, a honey farm and an olive oil producer - she was professional, friendly and gave us lots of insights along the way. Wonderful day!

Half Day Olympia Private Tour - HIGHLY RECOMMEND - Demetria made our family's introduction to Olympia absolutely seamless and memorable. She was easy to spot when we arrived, and from there, everything went beautifully. She had a genuine warmth with our kids and kept us all engaged with thoughtful insights about local economics, culture, and olive cultivation.
What really stood out was her patience at the museum—she gave us exactly the time we needed without any rush. But the real magic was her restaurant recommendation: through her personal connection, she introduced us to To Kupua, where the owner and staff treated us like family. It was genuinely the best meal we had on our entire trip.
The car was impeccably clean and Demetria's driving was confident and safe. For families coming off a cruise looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy guide who actually cares about your experience, she's the real deal.

Nancy is the best tour guide - Nancy is the best tour guide. She took us to places that the tour busses don’t go to. If you wish to immerse yourself into the local culture, people, food, wine and lifestyle, this day tour will tick all of your boxes. Nancy was super fun and the real deal. Thank you Nancy for a great day in your wonderful country.

I would not consider this... - I would not consider this a tour. It was a taxi driver who picks you up and takes you to Olympia. It would be cheaper to just get a taxi at the port. If you want a true tour book elsewhere.
