If you love history this tour is for you. The best part of our experience was with our tour guide, Tina. Tina was awesome, so knowledgeable and professional. Ask for her!

Stathis was the best tour guide that we had during our 9 day cruise of the Italian and Greek Islands. Our tour of Olympia with him was on Sept 12, 2025. He went out of his way to make sure that we comfortable with what he had planned for us during the 7 hour tour. He meet us on time right on the dock where he had his car waiting for us. Once at Olympia, one member of our group had forgotten his sunglasses, and Stathis gave him his own to wear during our tour there! He also purchased a nice gift for each of us to remember our time with him in Olympia. He took special care to take to us places that are not on the typical tourist sites including a family run honey farm and a boutique winery where we were treated to the most wonderful layout of traditional greek foods along with our wine tastings. We also sent to a beach that was private, but he was able to get us in. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again for another tour and would recommend him 150%.

This was a first class experience. The driver was incredible and he has great relationships built at the places you visit and therefore they take great care of you at each stop. We were on a cruise and we booked multiple tours through Viator and this was my favorite. This was so much better than anything we could have done through the cruise line. Our whole time in port was packed with adventures and it was all private for our group of 4. The wine/olive oil farm was so amazing. We had the best lunch with a great bottle of wine.

We booked a private tour with Katakolon Taxi Tours – Theocharis Stathopoulos, and it was the highlight of our cruise. Theocharis was professional, easy to communicate with, and made the day feel smooth and relaxed. The vehicle was spacious and air-conditioned, which was much appreciated in the summer heat.
Olympia was full of fascinating history, and it was amazing to walk through the birthplace of the Olympic Games. The Archaeological Museum helped bring the site to life, especially with the famous Hermes statue. From there, the tour really shined with local stops—Klio’s Honey Farm (delicious honey and pancakes, plus warm hospitality), Agriturismo Magna Grecia (two huge platters of authentic Greek food—olives, sun-dried tomatoes, figs, bruschetta, marmalade, grapes, walnuts, and more—with wine tasting), and the peaceful Monastery of Kremasti with gorgeous hillside views. We finished the day at Agios Ilias Beach, swimming in crystal-clear water.
What we loved most was how Theocharis took us off the beaten path to support small family businesses and show us authentic Greek life. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Katakolon!

This was our absolute favorite day!! We visited the archeological site of Olympia, toured a local honey farm with only one other family, and privately toured a small local winery. The food, honey, wine, and locals were all TOP notch!! This was so much better than the large group tours! Andreus was the BEST! He told us all about his hometown and his farm. He even gifted us his homemade olive oil from his own olive trees. Highly recommend this tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our tour of Olympia was truly wonderful, and much of that is thanks to our wonderful guide, Nancy. She was knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire day. From the beginning, Nancy shared fascinating details about the region, giving us a richer understanding of the area while adding her own personal touch that made everything feel more meaningful.
We started with a visit to the archaeological site and museum, where Nancy gave us plenty of time to explore at our own pace—something we really appreciated. From there, we visited a charming vineyard where we learned about the olive oil-making process. It was a hidden gem! The setting was stunning, the food absolutely delicious, and the olive oil some of the best we’ve ever tasted. Next, we stopped at a family-run honey farm. Hearing the story of generations of beekeepers and learning about the traditions behind their honey production was heartwarming and fascinating. The passion they have for their craft really came through. To top it all off, we finished our day with a relaxing visit to a beautiful local beach for a swim. Nancy was professional, helpful, and so accommodating throughout the day. She truly made our visit to Olympia special, and we’re so grateful for the experience.
We highly recommend this tour—and especially Nancy—for anyone visiting the area. It was a perfect blend of culture, history, local flavor, and natural beauty. A day we’ll never forget!

We had a Great day. Great tour guide who was very knowledgeable. She knew the owners of the bee farm so we were welcomed when we got there. We felt safe with our driver.

It was great driving around with Andrew S he was very friendly and personable. He arranged for a guide inside Olympia who was very good. She was a very knowledgeable young lady. I am sorry but I have forgotten her name.

Our guide was Stathis. He was so kind, polite and very informative about Olympia. He bought us coffees, he wouldn’t let us pay. It was his son’s bday and bought us souvenirs for our kids!!! He took us to the local honey farm and winery. Both family owned and really neat to see. I got a little sick during the day and he took us to a pharmacy to get meds. He was a local that knew the locals. We felt very safe with him all day!! Wonderful man. He even invited us to stay at his home with his family next trip there.❤️

We had a wonderful tour guide Andrew who made our excursion wonderful. He gave us so much information and even brought us olive oil from his personal farm. A must if you are in Olympia!
Barbara_M, Sep 2023
Fantastic tour with Andrew. Our group of 14 did Olympia first, then a wine tasting and olive tour with lunch and we stopped for a one hour beach break to enjoy drinks and the beautiful views. We had a tight itinerary but had lots of time to enjoy this fabulous tour.

Nancy did a great job with our tour. We got to Olympia early before the crowds arrived. Fascinating place. Enjoyed the visit to the oil press business and the the Kilos honey farm. Topped it off with some shopping in Olympia and the a great local restaurant in KatKolon. Really enjoyed our time and getting to know Nancy. She was very knowledgeable and fun to be with.
Kim_B, Aug 2023
Andrew is great, the beach time was nice, we loved the winery.
Note- the winery is an olive oil plantation - expect to taste olive oils while dinking wine. But it was so much fun with a traditional song and dance and sampling greek foods
Also the guide does not go with you to the ruins and it was hot, hard to navigate even with the book. I would have liked to hire someone there to give an hour tour.
Overall it was a great day. They are very responsive when communicating and arranging the details.
Aida_W, Jul 2023
We were happy with our driver! He felt terrible for us that no one would guide us at Olympia and that he was unable to give us the info on the area as he was only a driver. We did not receive the book we were supposed to receive!!! We asked for credit and you said no! Never again will we use you !!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Hello and thank you for your feedback as it helps us to become better and improve. We will need to present from our side a little bit different story from what you are presenting. In the exclusions list of the tour it is clearly stated that licensed guide is not included to tour inside olympia and the driver is the person providing all the information of the area/ sharing the culture, habits, every day life and basic historical information. The reason for which you have requested refund and started the complaints was about the licensed guide which is extra. In any case we feel sorry for the misunderstanding and will make all the necessary to avoid happening this again in the future.
Thanks again
Andrew

We were a bit late getting off the ship, but Andrew and driver were waiting patiently for us. They got us to all the stops before the cruise buses arrived at each stop, so we had a very personalized experience! Andrew worked with us to quickly come up with a great plan for the day. We visited 2 farms and a tasting shop in addition to ancient Olympic site and museum. Book this tour, you won’t regret it. highly recommended
