This was a great experience to see two amazing historical treasures of Corinth and Olympia. It’s a long trip from Athens but well worth it. Our driver, Niko, was very accommodating and knowledgeable.

We’re delighted to hear that you had a great experience exploring Corinth and Olympia. It’s true that the journey from Athens is longer, but we’re glad it proved to be well worth it for you.
It’s wonderful to know that Niko made the trip even more enjoyable with his knowledge and accommodating approach.
We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future!

Chris is a god! From the moment I read his first text over breakfast (complete with a selfie) I knew we were in for a brilliant day. Chris is hilarious and has such a wealth of knowledge to share. Chris is such a people person and clearly loves what he does. The conversation flowed so naturally it was like travelling with a longtime friend. We talked about everything and anything, and laughed a lot. We had stops at the Corinth Canal and in Corinth itself to sightsee. We were given as much time as we wanted and told to text him whenever we wanted to be picked up and he would be there ready for us. On the way he even stopped by a local cake shop to pick up some traditional pastries for us to try, which were absolutely delicious! The over 3 hour drive to Ancient Olympia from Athens flew by as we enjoyed the beautiful countryside. Once we arrived we had a tasty snack in the clean and friendly cafe before exploring the 2 museums, then on to the site of the ruins itself. The area is massive, filled with beautiful columns, crumbling buildings and the large running field and stadium. We spent over 2 and a half hours walking around and taking some excellent photos. There were very few people there and it almost felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Then we were picked up by Chris and whisked back to Athens. We had a comfort break on the way back and again Chris surprised us with some snacks for the journey. The vehicle was very comfortable with A/C and plenty of bottled water to combat the heat outside. We were back in Athens and at the doorstep of our hotel before we knew it. It was a fantastic experience and a real highlight of our holiday. Ancient Olympia was something that we were looking forward to seeing but the superstar of the day was Chris, he went above and beyond all expectations and if I could give him more than a 5 star review I would! Absolute legend 😊

This is an excellent tour best done 2 days with overnight stay in villa. Visit museum first. Audio tour would be nice
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback—we truly appreciate your insights! We’re delighted you enjoyed the tour and love your idea of extending it to **two days with an overnight stay** in a villa to fully soak in the experience. Visiting the museum first is excellent advice, and we’ll certainly explore adding an **audio tour** option to enhance future guests’ visits.
Your suggestions help us improve, and we’d love to welcome you back for an even more immersive experience next time!
Best regards,
Andreas

Thoroughly enjoyed our driver, Michael. Was very informative and friendly. Told us lots of interesting facts about Greece and pointed out many landmarks. The only disappointment was with the vehicle. When we booked this trip, it was mentioned we'd have a Mercedes luxury car, comfortable for 4 people.
This was not a Mercedes. It was a Skoda. Three sat in the back, one up front with the driver. Sitting in the middle of the backseat for 3.5 hrs each way was not the comfortable luxury ride we were expecting and thought we paid for. We felt we didn't get the value we paid for.

This trip provided a private car which pick us at our hotel in Ahtens and drove us to the site of Ancient Olympia. We had to pay our enteance fee which was only6 euros per person. We had plenty of time ti enjoy the site. We were then driven back to hotel. Since we were unable to stop at Olympia on a previous ocean cruise, this was a good way to check Olympia off our bucket list.
