Small group of ten, timely pickup at pier in a private vehicle, local and knowledgeable guides (2), family owned - simply cannot say enough about this team. While we were at the Olympic Stadium we passed a ship's tour of over 100 people and were reminded again about the wisdom of selecting a private tour.

Our guide was very well educated and provided a very interesting tour of Olympia as well as connecting us with someone at the actual museum to walk us through the site. The rest of the tour inclusive of the olive oil and honey farm was not but was expected and I would not recommend this part of the trip we were expecting to have an actual sit down tasting up olive oil’s and honey but it was basically a store selling both.

We wish we had had a guide through Olympia, but ours was not certified. However, we still enjoyed going through the ruins and reading the information. The olive oil tasting and the honey farm were wonderful. Very informative and tasty.
