It was interesting to see the birth place of the Olympic Games. We also were impressed that they are still working the site.

We had a party of 4 and although the van could have taken more we were the only ones. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very interesting. Lots of spots in the shade to stop and hear about Olympia.
