Super easy. Great price. Friendly staff. - Super easy. We walked off the cruise ship and just out side the port entrance you will find the GrekaTravel office. The staff are so friendly and organised. A quick walk to the coach park and we were on board and on our way to Olympia. Chrisi was a great host she gave us lots of information about what to expect at the archeological site. On arrival we were escorted to the ticket office. Then we had 3 hours to explore. Amazing place to explore with the family. So much history. Back on the air conditioned coach and on our way back to the port. Great service for a great price run by great people. Thank you.

Easy and affordable bus ride. Air conditioned!!! - They check everyone in and make sure multiple times that everyone is on the bus so nobody gets left behind. Bus ride was chill, and AC was strong so it was comfortable. Not a ton of leg room but it was fine. Guide spoke multiple languages, walked with us to kiosk and had some useful tips. This is NOT a tour, just a bus ride and does not include tickets. I saw a lot of bad reviews before booking which had mistaken that. I thought it was very cheap for a 40 minute bus ride personally

The Best Deal Around - I cannot believe what a deal this is. Our guide, Chris, telephoned me and texted me to make sure we could meet at the designated spot. After a 30 minute air conditioned bus ride, we were escorted to the ticket booth to procure entrance tickets. Three hours later we were returned to the ship. Simple. CHEAP, comfortable!!!!

Just enough to see Olympia! - The company was very friendly and the transfer service from the port was easy, clean, and inexpensive. The day we were there was very hot so the museum was a cool interesting place to hang out. We walked the archeological site for a short time and then headed to the Main Street for souvenirs and lunch. The time there was just enough. We had read another review ahead of time that said to look for the light blue building at the port to find the tour and that was very helpful as the tour address on our phone map didn’t match our location in person. We would recommend!!!

Katakolon to Olympia Tour - We booked the cheapest option. Basically a round-trip bus ride to Olympia. Tickets extra $20/ea for exhibits. No narration. Bring your own water. A bit disorganized checking in. Bus was prompt on return. Had enough time to visit ruins and do a bit of shopping. Museum line was too long, so we skipped that. 10am tour back at port by 2:45pm.

Got us there but chaotic. - Had to wait in the hot sun before walking to the bus. Not organized well. Somewhat chaotic. Bus was comfortable. Driver was skilled. Time allowed on-site was adequate.

Take the Local Bus - Extremely disappointing experience from the time we arrived at the storefront and check-in ordeal until the end waiting for time slot to be able to return! There is NO information provided - this is just a crowded bus ride!
