Excellent Greek experience!!!! - Terrific shore excursions!! Elena was very informative. Our tour of the archeological excavation was fantastic. Pacing was also very good. Our tour in the local market was excellent. We tasted different kinds of olive oil, honey, olives, spices and also tried different lotions, creams and other products made from olive oil. The experience at Klio’s honey farm was a highlight. Tasted quince jam and honey from the farm and enjoyed traditional Greek welcome and hospitality. Will highly recommend!! 5/5!!!!

It was such a great way... - It was such a great way to experience all the things Olympia has to offer. The stop at Klios Honey Farm was one of our favorite parts of the whole trip. We constantly bring it up how enjoyable and wholesome it was, and not to mention the honey was the best i’ve ever had! Seeing the ruins of the original Olympic games was really cool. There’s so much history and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. The Olive oil was more of a tasting then visiting a farm, I would’ve like to stop at a farm but i still really enjoyed trying all the oils and balsamic, I can’t wait to receive them in the mail. Overall, i definitely recommend this tour if you’re going to Olympia. It was more on the laid back style which we loved and also needed at this point of our journey! Everyone we met was fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly!

Incredible Tour of Olympic Stadium & Honey Farm - The tour of the original Olympic Stadium was surreal. My teenage boys and I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this excursion. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time to ask questions and take pictures. This is a must see if traveling to Greece! After the Olympic Stadium, we made a quick stop to do an olive oil tasting. The tasting was fantastic! We quickly moved onto a family owned honey farm. The owner gave us an explanation of how they farm their honey, showed us around the property and then we were able to taste a local pastry topped with their honey. Delicious!

A Day in Olympia – History, Hospitality, and a Few Honest Thoughts - We booked this tour to experience the site of the original Olympic Games, and it didn’t disappoint. Our certified guide at Olympia was outstanding — deeply knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the history and ongoing restoration of the grounds. Walking through the birthplace of the Games and learning its rich history was truly special. After our visit, we stopped at Klio’s Honey Farm, a small family-run business where we enjoyed an authentic, warm welcome and tasted some truly quality products — a lovely experience. The olive oil tasting, on the other hand, felt more like a tourist trap. Most of our group seemed eager to wrap it up and return to the ship. That said, the family-owned tour company running this experience deserves credit. Our guide took great pride in her work, and the luxury transportation — a spotless, air-conditioned Mercedes van — made the day comfortable and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a well-organized group experience with excellent transportation and a friendly, knowledgeable team, this tour delivers. If you prefer a more customized, private experience, you might consider hiring an independent local guide instead.

The infirmation given... - The infirmation given regarding the ruins in Olympia was way too long!! The olive oil and honey farm were more a shopping spree rather than a historic experience.

Not worth the price - The honey farm was a refreshing experience from the heat but it was just a farm, I did not see the actual beehives. The mini bus provided was nice but the extra fees for the bee farm and archeological sites makes the package not worth it.

Highs and lows - Loved the guide Elena at the ancient Olympic Ruins. She was very knowledgeable and informative! That was really the highlight. We then went to a store on the side of the road which was terrible. It was a spot to taste the olive oils and buy t shirts…would have preferred more options or an actual olive oil making place to this. Definitely should skip this second stop. The last stop was sweet with a family run honey farm with things to taste and purchase. Could be boring for those not interested in honey making process. No actual bee hives or really seeing the process of the honey making. It was nice to cool off in the shade after a hot visit to Olympia.

No Olive Oil Tasting on this Tour. - This was only a tour of the Olympia and the Museum. After it was over you had an option for a Honey Tasting or stay in downtown Olympia. There was no option for Olive Oil Tasting. Very misleading.
