Athens road trip

John_O, May 2026

Standing in the actual stadium where athletes competed over 2,700 years ago, walking through the ruins of the Temple of Zeus, seeing where the Olympic flame is still lit today — it connects you to something much larger than yourself.

DO NOT use Viator if flying in or by cruise ship.

Tammy, Oct 2025

I strongly advise to never use Viator if you are coming from a cruise ship or unless your local and know you will for sure make it to port for the exact date and time. Our cruise ship had to swap port dates due to a tug boat operator strike which we were told is a monthly occurrence by a local. Viator would not change the ticket date even though they were contacted 4 days prior. Ticket was no date change non refundable. When we went into town we were told that there was no reason they should not have been able to change the date for the ticket so we lost a total of $300 in tickets for the 2 ports that were swapped. No refund NOTHING. No trying to help just it is what it is attitude when I called. Will never use Viator again. Had I just booked it through the cruiseline our tickets would have been date switched as all those people and even other excursion companies helped their customers and they were able to see the sites.

Lovely spaces

DNai_W, Sep 2025

This was a nice experience and very interesting to learn about the history of the area. Give yourself ample time to walk around both spaces and be sure to protect yourself from the sun because there is not much shade outside. The museum is a nice excape from the heat and had beautiful artifacts to explore.

Worth the trip - Ancient Olympia

Amy_J, Jul 2025

Visiting Ancient Olympia was like stepping back in time. The museum is packed with amazing artifacts. Everything is well laid out and easy to follow, with good signs and helpful info in English. The archaeological site itself is massive and really impressive. Walking through the ruins of the Temple of Zeus and standing on the original Olympic track was surreal. It’s mostly outdoors, so bring water and wear good shoes especially in summer. Overall, it’s a fascinating and memorable place. Whether you’re into history or just curious, it’s totally worth the trip. Purchasing the tickets via Viator made it one step easier.

Fantastic Experience

Karen_V, Sep 2024

Excellent site and museum. Enjoy much more than the Vatican. Beware when they scan your ticket to enter museum, it then shows used and you can’t get into archaeological site unless you go to ticket booth and stab in line to get a hand ticket after much wasted time.

Expensive tickets and over sold audio guides

zx28g9wvyj, Aug 2024

Olympus is great but these tickets are not good value. We paid more for the tickets than you would on the door. Plus they included an extra charge for an audio guide but there aren’t any at any of the site.

Just an OK tour with Grekaland

Judeth_C, Jun 2024

Used Grekaland tours they Viator, very confusing at port, had to walk a distance to find them, then further to the bus. Our guide was ok, older woman was very nice but she seemed to be struggling with all the climbing and walking. She needs a better way to ID her than the pink umbrella bc a few people had them. Seeing the ruins was awesome, my group was less than enthused at the amount of information given. I love using aviator to book tours but not necessarily this one.

It was easy to purchase...

User friendly website....

cindykanenewton, Nov 2023

User friendly website. The only issue we had was the weak internet connection in Olympia Greece, but it all worked out. Next time I will download the tickets in advance.

Tickets not valid.

Paul_L, Jul 2023

There are no ticket machines at this site so you will not skip the line. When at the ticket office it took 3 members of staff to try and process the tickets. They couldn’t so we had to buy new tickets to get in. So all in all it took longer to get in and more hassle to get a refund Tickets are cheaper at the gate anyway

Da non perdere

Grande sito archeologico, bellissimo e ben organizzato. Un tuffo nella storia. Molto belle le ricostruzioni e l’app
