What are people saying about Olympia

Private Katakolon Excursion to Ancient Olympia, Winery and Beach

ELester_G, Jul 2026

A day in Olympia.

Andreas was great. He was well informed of the area and explained all we saw traveling to the Olympic a site. The vehicle was very comfortable and great air conditioning to help with the July heat. Took us to a great little restaurant by the beach that had great food and views. Definitely recommend it.

Stress Free in Olympia

Dora was our guide. She was AMAZING! Pick up was easy and quick. The van was clean and air conditioned. I was really impressed. Dora gave us various information about the area as well as the Olympic history. Being from the area, she shared local traditions and best spots for eating and shopping. She guided around the ancient site before we got there with stories of the history and what to expect. When we actually arrived, we felt like we knew the area and it made it our experience more enjoyable. Dora guided us through out the day. She could tell I was overwhelmed with the new environment/ city and she eased my mind by taking time to explain everything from where to go and where to meet. Dora was always there to help out. When we went to the beach, she had our umbrella and lounge chairs ready for us. The beach was beautiful. Don’t forget your goggles. I highly recommend this tour. I wish I could do it again.

Awesome experience - Stathis was phenomenal!

We had an incredible day thanks to our driver and guide Stathis! We saw the ancient Olympia site, 2 museums, went to an olive oil processing facility to learn and taste and had wonderful dinner on the beach with beach time! Stathis was very flexible in helping us create the perfect day for what we wanted and prioritize our time. He was patient and never rushed us. We ended up spending an additional 1.5 hrs on our tour than what we booked to take advantage of all the experiences. The scenery and history at all the stops was excellent. Stathis went above and beyond and gave us gifts which represented to culture of Greece! I’d highly recommend this excursion and Stathis as the driver/guide!

A must if going to ruins.

I would say this is a must if you are going to the ruins. There is not a lot left of the ruins, so this really gave you an idea of what things looked like. There are stations that give you information, but the audio the glasses give you, I think is better.

Katakolon, Olympia site and beach

We had an amazing experience. Our driver and tour guide were great. We visited Olympia archeological site. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Ancient Greek history and the site where the original Olympics took place. We stopped at an olive oil shop and tasted numerous types and flavors of olive oil. Then a private driver whisked us off to the beach. It was a great day in Olympia! I would definitely recommend this tour. There was a little walking involved but not overly strenuous.

Fantastic day in the Olympia area.

We had a fantastic day with Andreas! Pick up was very clear and the vehicle was very nice. Heprovided us with extra information at Ancient Olympia and let us decide how much time to spent. He took us to a family run olive oil farm which was very informative and it was great to learn about the local community. Then we went to a small family winery - wonderful family, good wine and snacks prepared by the owner. We really enjoyed our time there. A great day!

Highly recommend

The tour was an excellent balance of history sites and engaging activity. Our tour guide Tina was excellent; knowledgeable, funny, and kind. She was very flexible to our requests and made the whole day stress free. George was the driver and our van (specifically the AC) was great and safe. We highly recommend this tour and specifically our guide.

Olympia Shore Ex: Olympic site, Honey Farm & Olive Oil Tasting

Courtney_M, Jun 2026

If I could give this tour...

If I could give this tour 10 stars I would. This was an incredible way to experience Olympia. It's hard to say which part was our favorite because we learned so much. From the history of the Olympics, the olive oil tasting we did was so amazing (they had us wanting to buy so many bottles to bring home), but the honey farm at the end was truly a fan favorite for our group. It was like being welcomed into someones home and experience honey in a new light. We' 100% do this tour again.

As per most of the other...

As per most of the other historical tours you take you need to have a medium level of fitness to ensure you get the most out of the tour. Our guide/host Theodora had plenty of information to explain what we where viewing and answered all questions professionally. The only issue we experienced was the lack of respect shown by some of the tourists in our group towards Theodora. It was clear that they weren't prepared for the conditions of the day.

This was my favorite tour...

This was my favorite tour of our cruise. Marilena was a fantastic guide and spent her birthday with us! She gave us plenty of time at the site of the first Olympics, took us to an Olive Mill (which was incredible) and then to a private beach that was the perfect ending. Her communication and service was exceptional.
