When your cruise docks in the Katakolon port, take a private shore excursion to Olympia, where you’ll discover its famous archeological site on a walking tour. Ancient Olympia is the sanctuary of ancient Greece, where the classical Olympic Games were held. See the remains of the original Olympic stadium, the Bouleuterion and the Temple of Zeus. Enjoy free time in modern Olympia to shop or visit the Museum of the Olympic Games. As you explore with your private tour guide, you are sure to make the most of your time in port and have a memorable, personal experience.

Seeing all the ruins, the starting line of the original Olympics, and the lighting of the torch. It was a memorable experience.

Our guide was difficult to understand. While she was very well informed and passionate about the subject, she was disorganized and scattered.
There was a lot of walking in the heat and we were not warned about bringing water. In addition we would have liked more free time in the village

It was interesting to see the birth place of the Olympic Games. We also were impressed that they are still working the site.

We had a fantastic time and learned so much! Zoey answered all our questions and even got a private olive oil tasting arranged for us. Fantastic!

We had a party of 4 and although the van could have taken more we were the only ones. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very interesting. Lots of spots in the shade to stop and hear about Olympia.

A most wonderful journey back in time with our very professional and informative guide Saskia.
To be standing where the first olympic games began was awesome.
I highly recommend this tour.

The van was modern and comfortable. The driver and guide were both exceptional. The guide, in particular, had a great depth of knowledge of the area and history.

This was not a guided tour so we were on our own to explore Olympia and archeological site.

We had the best guide ever on this tour. Also, our tour was only 10 people so it was easy to ask questions and hear commentary. I learned so much on this tour. It was well worth the time. Thanks
