Good Tour/Activity with a Caveat

Kevin_R, Jun 2025
It was worthwhile seeing the birth place of the Olympic Games. The tour operator via its driver (Petros) was an encyclopedia regarding ancient Greek culture and history. My only issue with this tour is that drive to the site takes a good four hours or so each way from central Athens; needless to say you’ll need a full day to complete this activity.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

We are especially delighted to know that Petros enhanced your experience, acting as an encyclopedia regarding ancient Greek culture and history.

Great tour to see the site of the Birthplace of the Olympics. The drive from Athens to Olympia was beautiful. The museum and archeological site are fabulous. Our driver Tolis was amazing! He was friendly and informative and made the experience even better with his conversation and expert local advice.
