The VR glasses were very helpful when touring the ruins however the building is quite a walk away from the site itself and on a very hot day can be a bit brutal. The VR rental DOES NOT INCLUDE ACCESS TO THE RUINS. you much purchase tickets to go in so you will invite an additional fee. It would have been nice to have the VR glasses bundled with a ticket so you can a pint the LONG lines.

The vr glasses were wonderful. Very realistic and informative. We had no trouble finding the pick up spots and learning how to use them. We were able to see and hear how people looked and sounded. Many people around us wished they had them

Having the VR headset made the experience so much better for my family. Being able to see what the areas looked like whole and in one piece was amazing. My kids loved it.

This was a great way to visit the Olympic grounds! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and really appreciated the park more than we would without the VR. I definitely recommend this experience. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it was not clear in the tour description that the place to pick up and drop off the VR sets is a 15 minute walk to the park entrance and the fee to get into the park is not included in the rental. The description sounds like it is, but it was not for us and the price we paid is the same as listed in the tour description. We had to pay an additional 12 euros each to get into the park. The other glitch for us as visitors from a cruise ship was that we had to be on a bus to take us back to port at 2:30...NO exception and the VR Tour office closes from 2:00-3:00 each day. That meant that we had to be back at the office to return the VR headsets before 2:00 pm or we would not get our drivers license returned. Because of this, we really hurried through the park. The tour operator was very kind to try to work with us, but there wasn't much we could do. If you book this, try to give yourself at least 1.5 hours in the park and factor in the time to get to and from the tour office. It really did enhance the visit, I just wished we had more time.

It helped to see what the Ancient Olympia looked like 3000 years ago! I would recommend not getting VR glasses for kids but share yours with them because our kids didn’t wear theirs and we ended us carrying them around :).

We came across it because we were looking for a tour in German so that the children could understand something. With 2 children (7 and 8) 3 pairs of glasses were great. The children each had their own pair of glasses on the organizer's recommendation. It's easy to use and with a total of 15 stops/explanation points, we were on the tour for about 2 hours and we all had fun.

The VR experience is applied very well. There is a good balance between being inside de VR world and being in the real world. Its also very comfortable to carry and move around with. The world was really immersive and the atmosphere felt lively. All of us agreed that it added 200% to the experience of visiting Olympia and understand how they lived back in their time.Also very well researched

A real plus for visiting the site. It was magnificent and one could better imagine the beauty of the place at the time. The staff explained to us very well how to use the glasses and were extremely kind and helpful. Without the glasses, we certainly wouldn't have enjoyed our visit as much.
