Excellent private tour with Nikos! - This was a fabulous private tour. Our guide, Nikos, was extremely friendly and informative. He never made us feel rushed at any of the stops, and seemed genuinely interested in making sure we were comfortable and happy with the tour. The book he gave us to help us identify the ruins in Olympia was helpful, but I have to admit I was a little jealous of the others I saw on guided tours. It was difficult to understand what we were looking at most of the time as the indiviual ruins are not clearly marked. The winery was owned by a small family, curently second generation with the daughter (3rd generation) getting ready to take over. It was an authentic and interesting experience that included a tour of the winemaking area, tasting of 3 wines, and delicious food accompaniments served by the mother, including her own homemade preserves. The beach stop was actually a hotel with a bar overlooking the ocean--a beautiful spot! This tour was one of our favorites of the trip. Thank you, Nikos! Elaina and Ivor from Seattle

Amazing trip!! - Our trip with Theo and his father Andrew was amazing. We had a small group of 4 and they guided us in a new Mercedes passenger van that could have accommodated a much larger group very easily. Andrew was the perfect guide met us at each spot in Olympia and explained where to go and where to meet. The winery stop was the hidden gem of the trip. The family operating couldn't have been more welcoming. The food and wine was excellent. Make sure you go hungry..We travel a lot and cant say enough good things about this tour.

Amazing Private Tour! - This private tour is amazing! Stathis was great! He took us to a local winery with appetizers, ancient archeological sites and the local beach! This was by far the best excursion we’ve been on!

Olympia and Wine/Olive Oil Tasting the Same Day! - Our guide, Niki, was fabulous! From being able to speak clear English, providing informative commentary during the trip, making suggestions for getting some local food/dessert, providing a spacious mini bus with AC, and being personal and feeling like she was one of “us”….GREAT EXCURSION & GREAT GUIDE!

Our tour guide & personal... - Our tour guide & personal driver Nico was awesome!! As he drove he gave us all of the important places to see. Once we got to the museum in Olympia he gave us a book to follow once we got to the ruins. The museum was amazing. The walk from the museum to the ruins was not far at all. We were amazed once we reached the ruins. We did have a little difficulty following the book to what we were looking at. A few things we couldn’t find or wasn’t sure if we were in the correct place. It would have been nice if at the sites had a plaque or description. It truly was an amazing experience. We then went to the beach. We didn’t do the winery as we had my 2 kids (15 & 9) & it wasn’t really something that would interest them.

Exceeded expectations - Status was amazing and catered this trip to what we wanted to do. I was pleasantly surprised that he remembered towels for our teenagers since I forgot them. He even bought us souvenirs out of his own pocket since it was his son’s birthday and said it was b/c of that. Very sweet ❤️ he got us a reservation at a beautiful restaurant overlooking the water at a beach the locals go to and ordered our food for us so we could try traditional Greek food. It was only €55! We skipped the winery since we have 2 kids that would like more time at the beach. He was very accommodating. Couldn’t have been happier with him and praying blessings over his family in the future.
