Elena looked after us today, and the tour was amazing! Extremely knowledgeable about the area and has a great sense of humour. The sites were simply breathtaking and the museum was a great representation of the history that developed back then. Would recommend!

    Olympics will never be the same

    Joan_W, Jul 2026
    Our guide was great. She told us about the area and especially the history of where we were going. She explained everything on the grounds, then did the same in the Olympic museum, bringing history to life.

    Great tour!

    Olympia tour

    Eugene_G, Jun 2026
    Was greeted by a very friendly lady who introduce her self and walk us to the coach and introduce the driver she the told us a little about herself and the driver. She also gave us a brief history of the island and she was very knowledgeable about the Archaeological site ❤️

    Great last minute decision!

    Michelle_P, Jun 2026
    We booked this last minute so we’re not sure what to expect but we had such a great time! The ship was fun and came with accessories to fully become a pirate. Lots of pictures were taken. The crew was lovely and we got a lot of interesting facts - very cool to see some of the buildings from the water we had visited. The plane fly overs were very cool as well. Thank you!

    A really Great Tour that is easy to access from a Cruise ship

    Cameron_J, Jun 2026
    Our Tour Guide Atlas was really knowledgeable as he had worked as an Archeologist for the Bronze age and had a lot of interesting facts as we toured the grounds of Olympia and museum. The tour bus was right at the port which made it very easy to attend the tour as we were on a cruise ship. Atlas was especially helpful as we got lost at the end of the excursion and couldn't find the bus. He went out and hunted for us (Cameron 1 & 2) and I will be eternally grateful that we didn't get left behind!

    Amazing tour of Olympia

    Chloe_V, Jun 2026
    My husband and I had a wonderful time on this tour. Theodora was a great guide and very knowledgeable. She shared a lot of interesting facts and stories at both the archeological site and the museum. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to know the history of Olympia!

    Fantastic and considerate

    Chrissie_W, Jun 2026
    Really great tour. Guide was informative, engaging and very considerate. She made sure there was always a shady spot when she wanted to tell us more about any of the sites. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

    Absolutely Book!

    Taylor_J, May 2026
    This tour was so fascinating! Theodora was such a great guide and you could tell she was so knowledgeable. Having her throughout the site and museum was so helpful in providing context and informing us as to the significance of all we were seeing. Would absolutely recommend this tour. It makes your time in Olympia/Katakolo enjoyable and seamless.

    Meeting Point Incorrect!

    Gloria_V, May 2026
    Instructions on the meeting point is incorrect! It listed Archaeological Site of Olympia as the pickup point when in fact it was the destination. In addition, the guide wasn't in the location where most of the tour guides were waiting! She was waiting a hundred feet away in a different direction. We had to call Viator so they can get hold of the tour guide which we did. Otherwise, it was memorable seeing the actual first site of the Olympic!

    Olympia Tour

    Theodora was a great guide and Christos was a fantastic driver! I didn’t realize that this was a group tour, but that’s my fault for not reading the full description. While we were surprised to not have a private tour, Theodora did a wonderful job of efficiently moving the group through the sites so my mistake didn’t end up being an issue.

    Too expensive for what is was!

    Kathleen_R, Apr 2026
    This tour was just another ruins tour, but I wanted to see where the first Olympians started the Olympic Games, so we went! There were so many tours going on at the same time and it was very crowded. We had to wait a long time to get into the museum. The outside tour was good, but the museum was so much better! Our tour guide was new and wore a white shirt and had a black umbrella, she blended in with everyone else and at times we could not find her. She was very nice but new at the tour guide thing.

    Bring rain gear and comfortable walking shoes.
