The excursion was well organizer. We met our group at the end of the pier where we were divided into 2 groups: one that was going to the beach after the tour of the Olympic grounds, the other that was spending the afternoon in other ways. After the tour a driver took us to the beach where we were free to do whatever. The beach was shared by a delighted eatery “Cabana”. The service and food were wonderful. We had a delightful young server with limited English but working together we had fun communicating!

Communication was excellent. Transportation was a luxury Mercedes Sprinter van - very nice! Marcello was friendly & knowledgeable. Would liked to have excursion an hour longer to allow more time at the beach.

This small group tour was wonderful. The guide at Olympia was a very interesting expert who brought a lot of value to our short time together. Our driver was friendly and helpful. The beach was beautiful and had free lounge chairs, umbrellas, a couple of restaurants, and a place to change. We had a relaxing and fulfilling day.

Great beach day and tour at Olympia. Mario and Elena were great guides and very knowledgeable. Recommend bringing cash for the Olympia tickets to save some time getting into the ruins. Overall a perfect day!

It was a very pleasant experience. Our tour guide Marios was very informative and made sure everyone felt relaxed and enjoyed the tour. The beach he took us was great, and Natalia that gave us the monument tour was very nice as well. We enjoyed her explanations.

The Olympics tour was wonderful. Natalia was a great guide and informative. They charged us an additional 20 Euros to get into the grounds. They started that it would cost 20 Euros to go to the museum not to get into the olympics site. Marios was a great guide on the bus, but when we got to the beach they had no chairs for us to sit on. This was a neighborhood public beach it was crowded and no section for the tour people. It was very disappointing because the beach was beautiful but we could not get on it.

We truly enjoyed Olympia, we had an amazing guide - Dimitra. She was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic. However, the time at the beach was way too short, we didn't have much time to eat and swim

Great experience! Helena and her colleague were fabulous on our excursion! The details provided were excellent. The pick-up and tour were well organized and I would definitely highly recommend. The beach was beautiful next to multiple outdoor cafes! Loved it all.

Our tour was awesome. Elena was excellent and was very informative and very clear about explaining everything about the Olympic ruins. Marius was also great except he didn’t connect with everyone on the bus I think. He tried but we were all very tired. He found it really difficult to break the ice so to speak. Overall the tour was great! Enough time on the ruins and beach

This was a well organized and fun excursion! We had an actual archaeologist do the guided tour of Olympia and she gave just the right amount of information and history. The olive oil tasting was cool, but I would’ve rather had more time at the beach. The beach was absolutely amazing! I definitely would recommend this tour.
