    Wonderful way to visit Olympia.

    We took this tour when our cruise ship visited and had a great experience visiting Olympia and the museum. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Great day

    Worst Experience Ever

    Andrea_M, Jun 2026
    It was a nightmare from the beginning! Our guide was very well informed but honestly had no clue how to adjust her presentation to accommodate her entire group. From the time we began walking down the hill to the ruins, she charged ahead and paid no attention to anyone who was falling behind. I talked to her about this and she apologized. But when we went into the actual site, it was just as bad. We were told that because we had not mentioned my husband used a cane, it was our fault we couldn’t keep up. He had hurt his foot right before we left. We tried to be accommodating by offering to leave the track earlier and meet them at the entrance. Then she left us behind again when we walked to the museum. We decided to meet her at the bus but when I tried to tell her, she looked right at me and walked away. I told another member of the group that we would meet them at the bus. We walked back up the hill to the parking lot but our bus wasn’t there. The bus drivers who were there said there was another parking lot where they might be so we went down the very steep stairs (no handrail) and checked there. No luck. I tried calling the activity provider and got a voice mail in Greek. Couldn’t understand it so I didn’t leave a message. Next I looked at the message the provider and there was our guide’s phone number. I called her and she said it was the original parking lot. By now, my husband and another couple (who had had the same problem) were exhausted. We took a cab back to the port. I called her again to tell her we were taking a cab back. She was more concerned about the headsets than she was us. To the point where she had Viator call me as well. JAT was a horrible provider!! They have refused to refund our money and have not answered my calls. I WILL never book with them again!

    We regret to hear about your disappointment. However, please note that the “Additional Info” section clearly states that this tour is not wheelchair accessible and may not be suitable for guests with limited walking ability, such as your husband. When booking future activities with Viator, we highly recommend paying careful attention to the product description and restrictions. In consideration of fellow cruise passengers with limited time ashore, you may wish to consider booking private tours that can be adjusted to your husband’s pace. Safe travels.

    Theodora is a gem. A lovely lady very caring looked after us all and was very knowledgeable imparting much of that information to us in a measured way. A really well balanced tour highly recommend..

    Olympia visit

    Melvyn_S, May 2026
    Very informative, good value for money. Olympia Site is very exposed, not a lot of shade. Need hat or umbrella for protection. Museum is well worth a visit. Theodora, our guide, was excellent.

    Our tour was far better than all of the tours we had taken thru the cruise ships

    John_W, Feb 2023
    We visited Rhodes with our children and teenage granddaughter. We had a full day tour booked thru Viator which was far better than all of the tours that we had taken thru the cruise ships in prior years. Our very friendly and knowledgeable guide Diana and our safe driver and true gentleman Nikos both were excellent. The tour was very well paced and equally interesting for seniors and teenagers, we skipped the lines, the attention to detail was incredible. Once we just mentioned that our granddaughter was celebrating her 16 birthday. We didn’t ask for anything, but when we arrived to the winery there was a bouquet of flowers and a gift waiting for her! Then right in the middle of our wine tasting the sommelier was interrupted by the winery owner, who appeared with a birthday cake and 16 candles. He said a beautiful toast and the other members of our group , our guide, driver and winery staff all together were singing Happy Birthday to her. That was such an emotional and memorable moment for our granddaughter and for all of us. We managed to experience sights and sounds that we do different from prior visits. Rhodes has much more to show than we expected, saying nothing of people who live there, their hospitality and professionalism
