Great experience at Olympia and the olive oil mill - Dimitris and Andreaus were fantastic tour guides/drivers. Their suggestion to get an earlier start was key to beating the crowds. The visits to Olympia, the museum, and the free tour of the Olive Oil Mill were awesome. Be prepared to spend extra money at the olive oil mill, they have fantastic olive oil! Highly recomend this tour and these guides!

Great half day trip to visit ruins - We had a great time with Dimitri. He even picked us up from our cruise port early so we could get to the ruins when they opened so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. We had the ability to shop in the town and also were given the choice to visit an olive oil shop afterwards which we all enjoyed. Highly recommend

Outstanding Tour - Marios was fabulous! He was waiting as planned when we got off our ship. His car was very clean, comfortable and air conditioned. He took us to extra places to suit us including a local winery and olive oil factory, as well as Olympia and the beach as planned. His knowledge of the local area was outstanding. We highly recommend this tour.

Take this driver/tour! - Dimitris was a great driver and guide! Soooo happy to have found him and booked his services. We loved how quickly he got us entry into Ancient Olympia, the olive oil tasting and demonstration, and the gorgeous spot for lunch. Very thoughtful to all 4 of us. Highly recommend! Thank you, Dimitris!

Excellent introduction to Katakolon! - We were really glad that we booked this private tour with Dimitris from Plataneos Taxi Tours - it enabled us to see what we wanted, at our own pace, so that we could enjoy every bit of it without keeping to a tour timetable. Dimitris was most obliging and took us to not just Olympia, which was the main purpose, but also to a family honey farm which we thoroughly enjoyed, as also an olive press! Fascinating to see how the olive oil is actually produced! Dimitris went out of his way, which we greatly appreciated in not just recommending, but making a booking for us at a lovely seafood restaurant, which rounded off our visit to Katakolon perfectly. Our very best wishes to Dimitris and Plataneos Taxi Tours for the future!

A good way to get around - This tour is more a comfortable transfer to the sites without dealing with the public masses. Drive was accommodating to our needs and desires and did answer some questions. We were able to see an olive oil factory, a populated beach, and of course Olympia.
