You need to do this - You have to do this. It adds to the experience and gives you a better insight to what this place actually used to look like. I would think kids would really enjoy it.

Amazing Experience Horrible Transportation options after 12pm - The Back to the Future Virtual Eyglasses were absolutely amazing. More than I expected. I believe Viator & the company can do better with transportation to & from as well as getting the information out to cruisers. Lots of folks on my cruise stopped to ask me about the glasses in which I explained. They were exhausted due to all the walking and not having that 3D experience I had with the glasses and the information (history) provided via the earpiece. I really hope they coordinate some form of transportation. Only one company at the port knew where to take me and let us off the bus at the business. Getting there by 11am is the best option and much better than the 2 hrs the bus company provides. The ship also did not provide this option as a shore excursion but I'm going to share it with them. Note: The company closes daily from 1:30 to 3pm.

Cool to see the ruins as they were - Friendly staff, quick and easy to get the glasses, took some time to get used to but was pretty cool. Note that the shop is in town so if your tour lets you off at the ruins you will have to walk into town to get the glasses. our bus let us off in town so it was perfect!!

Immersive experience - I recommend it, the best visit in all of Greece to an archaeological site, you leave there knowing how it really went. A brutal immersive experience. I wish I was in more places!!!

Looking back in time thanks to Achilles - I went in September 2024, wishing to learn more about the origins of Olympic Games. I can't put in words how many ruins I saw in my life and here you put the VR glasses and see the past revived in front of your eyes and ears! My favorite scene was lighting the Olympic torch from the sunlight by the Priestess of the Temple of Hera! I kept looking at it again and again, with an effort to hold tears! Absolutely incredible experience, the author Achilles is a genius, I really hope this project will expand to many other sacred sites in Greece and around the world!

Excellent definitely worth the money. - Great idea and experience. Having VR headsets really brought ancient olympia to life so you got to see how it looked. Definitely worth the money. Be aware though you still have to pay to get into the site.

Nice experience- just watch the timing. - This experience was pretty good- but make sure you time it properly with your other plans. The check in point is about a 5-10 minute walk from the site and is closed for a few hours in the afternoon. The information provided was interesting and helped to understand what you are looking at.

Very disappointing experience - Very expensive and uninteresting activity, the technology is completely obsolete. the rental manager to whom we have in returning the equipment tells us our dissatisfaction ended up telling us that it could have been possible to take 1 equipment for two! moreover the store that lends the glasses is far from the Olympia site, do not be afraid to walk too much in the heat, it is not practical at all. in fact, the ancient site is not in agreement with this activity....
