This was a fantastic tour. My family of 8 adults chose this tour as an excursion when our cruise docked in Katakolon. We felt like we got the best of both worlds with this excursion, as we got to tour Olympia and visit a beautiful beach. The tour was run very smoothly. We were easily able to find the tour company when we came off of the ship. Our guide in Olympia, Saskia, was knowledgeable and kind. My whole family raved about her and her tour. I was impressed by how the tour company would switch off guides for each of our stops but everything was seamless and every guide/driver was lovely. The drive from Olympia to the beach was not too long and the beach area we went to was very nice. There were sun beds and umbrellas available, but we opted to sit in the cafe/bar area to have drinks after taking a dip in the water. I would definitely recommend this tour!

This excursion was fantastic! Olympia is so much more than you expect. The site is really large and there is so much to see. The ride to the beach was beautiful, and the beach was really nice. Bars, food, and restrooms nearby. Professional and good communication with the tour guides.

Despina Aggeli was a wonderful hostess. There were four of us on our tour, it was perfect to be able to be in a small group.
Great balance of Olympia and then to cool off at a beautiful beach.

Tour got off to a slow start waiting 30 minutes for a threesome that never arrived which but the whole tour behind schedule which was never made up. Guide was very knowledgeable and Olympia was educational. Beach time was less than an hour so barely time to grab a snack.
Beach was okay but subpar to most.
Would recommend if you have the entire party and could set the pace of your tour for the group.

Spectacular beaches with beautiful transparent waters. Tasty food, fresh fish, restaurants by the water with beautiful views! Olympia near by with great history, temples, nice museum and the first stadium in the world. Phenomenal experience combining art, culture and relaxing environment for a great vacation!

Great private tour with an intelligent and informed guide and courteous driver for just the four of us. Our guide did not go into the Olympic ruins with us, but she took us to the museum next to the ruins, got us our tickets and then gave us a quick "what to do and expect" near a map and sent us on our way. We didn't mind being on our own and wandered where we wanted and took a bunch of pictures. Our guide answered all our questions in the van during our drive and was truly knowledgeable and friendly. After Olympia, we went on to Kourouta Beach where we had lunch and a dip in the Ionian Sea. The beach was lovely with quaint cafes and umbrellas along the sand. The water was salty and warm. I was able to change into my swimsuit at a cafe bathroom and it was such a peaceful and lovely way to end our tour. We asked to be dropped off at the tourist shops near the port and walked and shopped our way back to the ship. I would highly recommend this over a big bus tour any day.

We did this tour and were very happy. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and patient as we stopped to take pictures all around the site of Olympia. We also were talking about wanting to taste local olive oils and wines, so she made a call and set up a last minute private tasting! I would highly recommend to anyone

Our tour guide- Elana Aggeli was extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating. We asked if she could add in (to an already busy tour) a wine & olive tasting event, which she put together in a matter of minutes!!! My wife and I had our 3 children and their spouses/significant others with us, and we all agreed this was the highlight of our trip. I cannot say enough great things about this tour and if given the opportunity again, I would do it all over again. Thanks so much Elana for making our trip to Greece so memorable!

We had a great day with Elena and Despina. Their tour was very well organized and they certainly did a great job in making our day a very enjoyable one. Helena was very knowledgeable and accommodating to all. Their van was very comfortable and even had Wifi ! We would highly recommend this tour and in fact have already given their business card to a friend who is travelling their way next month !
