Great trip to Olympia and Education educational - This was a great experience. From the minute, they picked us up everything was very easily understood and on time. Our wonderful guide Constantina “Tina” prepared us for the ruins beautifully. We got a history lesson in the shuttle and it made our experience that much more interesting. Mike was our driver and the shuttle for transportation was beautiful. The air conditioner was spot on, and the ride was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this toward winning in the area.

Don't skip this stop! - Excellent stop. We decided against Olympic site and our driver, Pano, took us to the town of Olympia which was super quaint and fun. Then we did a local vineyard which was quiet and had great views along with great wine/ snacks. The highlight was at the end when we got to a high end beautiful beach bar. It was the perfect ending to our tour. Highly recommend even though this isn't one of the popular spots as our experience was great.

We decided to do a... - We decided to do a private tour to Olympia. Instructions were clearly given as to where to meet and our driver/guide was there with a sign when we got to the meeting point. We drove to the archeological site and had plenty of time to walk around and see all that was offered. Then onto the winery. This was a small family owned/operated winery and it was wonderful. We were greeted by the owner and showed around the winery, then had a wine tasting which included homemade snacks which were just outstanding. The wine itself was some of the best I think we had ever tasted so of course, we brought several bottles back with us. The winery was so quaint and peaceful. We could have stayed there for hours but of course we had to leave and finish our tour. Next stop was the beach area and again a beautiful area. We were able to relax and just enjoy the breeze and waves washing ashore. All in all this tour was just excellent and I am so happy I decided to book it.

Our tour guide, Joanna,... - Our tour guide, Joanna, was wonderful! She told us much about the area, culture and history of Ancient Olympia on the drive there and then walked us to the entrance. The museum was very interesting & well worth the time spent there. The archeological site/ruins was very large and a bit overwhelming, but neat to see. The winery Joanna brought us to was a delight! It was a family farm in the beautiful countryside, where we tasted their wine and olives, with homemade bread, marmelade & olive oil. Joanna had everything arranged, was very personable & gave us an amazing tour!

Outstanding winery and Olympia tour - The small family run winery was easily the best portion of our tour. The wine was great, (and we bought some) but the homemade Greek food was outstanding. All four of us were extremely impressed with the winery and it made the day Complete The Olympia tour was completely a self tour and would have been better if we had a guide with us, but the area was still well worth the tour. The beach area was very nice, but was more a photo opportunity before we returned to the ship overall we loved the winery and it made the whole private tour worthwhile. we would recommend the tour

Excellent Day In Olympia - Stathis from Stathopoulos Tour Katakolo Greece did a fantastic job making this a wonderful experience for both my wife and I. We felt like family during the entire tour and I don’t know what he could have possibly done to have made this feel like a more personal experience going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed an saw everything we could during our time allocated while making it back to the cruise port with plenty of time to spare. This turned out to be our favorite excursion of the trip and I highly recommend Stathis from Stathopoulos tour who we found on Viator.

Katakolon day trip - We had a wonderful day with Stathis! He picked us up at the port and took us to the Olympia museum and archaeological site with drip of service. He even helped me find the app and provided a reference book. Then we had a personalized olive oil experience. The samples were delicious! After than we went to a local winery and had lunch and yummy wines to sample. Lastly we stopped by the beach and had drinks with a view. Lots of pictures! It’s was a highlight of our vacation. Thank you so much!
