Great excursion! Dora was wonderful at explaining all the history and even gave us a helpful guide for when we were touring Olympia. The lunch included was also delicious. Would do again!

The guide was friendly but unfortunately she did not accompany us in the Olympia site. We were left on our own and did not know where to go or what we were looking at. She took us to a nice greek restaurant overlooking the sea, where we ate local food.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
There is a law in Greece that only a licensed tour guide can be with a group in an archaeological site and museum., escort guides are not allowed to do that. You requested a licensed tour guide but you decided not to have one as there was an extra cost to that service. I’m so sorry to hear that you were disappointed .

This was a wonderful experience. The ruins were interesting. could have used a guide but was fine. The Traditional lunch was fantastic. Lunch was delicious and they had greek dancing. The restaurant was beautiful. The tour company was excellent. It was a great day.

VERY DISAPPOINTING. Our reservation said 7 AM, but when we got off the ship we couldn't find anyone. Spoke to another tour agent who pointed out Dora. She said our tour wasn't to begin until 9 AM, but our paperwork said 7 AM. She managed to find another driver who would take us on the tour. After we got in the car, he told us he was not a regular tour driver and could only take us to our destination but was not able to do anything else. It was no fault of his, but basically we paid $495 for a taxi ride
A little exorbitant, don't you think? We were so upset at the situation, but what could we do? I think this was the last Viator any of us will do.

I’m sorry to hear that but the disembarkation time was 9:00am in the booking form I had. I have proof for that which I can provide. The 7:00am was the disembarkation time for the ship, it doesn’t mean that all passengers get off the ship at the same time. Some people want to have breakfast and start their tour later. So it wasn’t basically my fault.

Our tour guide, Dora, was wonderful & met us promptly to begin our tour. She was friendly, very accommodating & patient with one of us who needed a little assistance. And, the traditional lunch that was included was terrific fun. I would highly recommend her & this tour.
