Great self guided tour

betsy_m, Nov 2023

Beautiful drive from port! Beautiful site and great shopping in area! So much to see don’t miss the museum!

Beautiful Port

Mark_T, Oct 2023

The port was beautiful. Full of very nice shop and wonderful places to eat. Rode the bus to the ancient Olympia. Recommend the 3d glasses for an outstanding view of the hat the ruins looked like. The difference is amazing.

Works great for cruise passengers

Julie_T, Oct 2023

This is a very convenient option for transportation to and from Olympia when arriving by cruise ship. The tour company was wel organized and communicated well prior to our trip. Note: this isn’t a guided tour. It’s transportation only.

Great staff, needs an extra hour

Devin_P, Oct 2023

Was ok, very nice staff but felt.rushed by short amount of time we had there. We saw it mostly but really did not have time to stop and read all of the info about everything. If you are not.one that reads the information panels, then u can see it.all very well in this amount.of.time.

It was just a bus ride but the service was quite good. Only problem was we were not given the right information regardin

Michael_Y, Oct 2023

Service on the bus was excellent It was just a bus ride but the service was quite good. Only problem was we were not given the right information regarding our meeting place. Has to call their office for them to give us the details.

Transportation was perfect

pfritsch58yahoocom, Oct 2023

We loved our self tour of the grounds and museum. Access to specific ruins was easy to understand. We toured on a holiday and was able to get into both the ruins and the museum for free. That was a bonus. Luckily there was lots of shade on the grounds and it was extremely warm the day we went.

Olympic Games

Michael_A, Oct 2023

Walking the streets where the Olympic Games were held, not crazy about the large group tour bus. Would probably due just as well renting a cab.

Ancient Olympia is a must see

Marc_J, Oct 2023

Very much enjoyed this tour it is a must visit the value is really good and the location near has great restaurants

Wonderful bus ride to Olympia

Michelle_K, Oct 2023

If you just want to get transportation from Katakolon to Olympia this is perfect. Very well organized, very friendly people, and comfortable bus ride. The location to meet is very easy to find, just look for the blue building outside of the port. Gives you around 3 hours in Olympia which was perfect for us. The town of Olympia is lovely even outside of the site.

Tour

Pam_B, Oct 2023

The Olympia tour was great. Plenty of time to see the Olympic grounds and museum. Our guide was able to answer all questions. I would recommend.

Olympia in a day

Pamela_G, Oct 2023

This is a bus transportation tour to get you to Olympia. The organizers did a good job of giving us information on what time and place to meet the bus for return. You will need to purchase tickets once you arrive to the park. It is an amazing site seeing the remains of the first Olympics area. The museum and ruins were wonderful and a must see.

Transfer only

Luz_A, Oct 2023

Nice to do what we needed in our own pace . The guide was quite nice answering questions, I think if she takes the opportunity to explain more about the beautiful area while we driving she could have tips ☺️ it’s so much history to share .

Olympia self tour

Robert_B, Oct 2023

We did the tour on our own. Olympia was hot and nice to see. a lot of walking. Signs could have been in English.

Exactly what we were looking for

Zishen_F, Oct 2023

This is just a roundtrip transportation from the port to the Ancient Olympia site which was exactly what we were looking for! 3 hours is plenty to explore the site and the museum. Bus gathering point was easy to find and our driver/guide was very clear with the meeting time and instructions. Recommended!

Great experience

wade_s, Oct 2023

Very good experience. On time, easy to find, comfortable buses and friendly. They don't have a guide for the archeological site but I enjoyed the flexibility of being on my own. I highly recommend!

Great value bus trip.

Zoe_H, Sep 2023

The office was a 2 min walk from the ship. The staff were lovely got a free water and 20% off shop purchases. The bus journey was pleasant and took about 45 mins. Were dropped of and a time and place were arranged to pick up. Oympia and the museum is definitely a place to visit but can be a bit unstable if you struggle with walking. Pick up was smooth, we did have to wait for some late comers but the bus waited, thought that was great as they didn't have to. Shows that they cared and would highly recommend them.

Great experience and would definitely book again.

Diane_C, Sep 2023

This was such a very calm, yet enjoyable excursion. The tour company fabulous from start to finish. Would highly recommend. The museum was great!

Brilliant trip so pleased we went

Julia_T, Sep 2023

Totally brilliant. Tour lady phoned me 15mins before to tell me exactly where to meet her. She was dressed in pink so easy to find and greeted us with a smile. Both ladies very friendly and helpful. Lovely cool coach, on time and dropped us off at olympia. Had a fantastic time. Lots of shade and a good walking surface. Like walking around a a gravel garden but pretty much flat once your down the 1st gentle slope. A lovely cafe with slushie ice drinks and baguettes etc and a brilliant museum inc in the entry price ticket to the olympia. Then returned back to port. Very well organised, was one of the best trips on our 10 day holiday thankyou x

Perfect day, very well organized

Anonymous, Sep 2023

Highly recommend. Very well organized. Meeting location is at their store just outside the small port. Very short distance to walk. Perfect amount of time given to explore Olympia and the shops and restaurants near Olympia. Staff was very nice!

Waste of money

David_J, Sep 2023

It was only a bus ride. No tour guide and no assistance in understanding the place. The place has no signs of description. We ended up walking in town and finding a place with virtual reality glasses that actually walk you through the town and show pictures. It was extra money but well worth it. I would suggest getting a taxi to the sight of Olympia then getting the virtual reality glasses much better experience with more time.
