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!

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.

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.

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
