Guide was wonderful! Very interesting learning facts and all about where the first Olympics were held. Such a great history “field” trip!!

Elias was an exceptional guide. He shared first-hand archeological experience, and we left with an understanding of how the parts of the very large Olympia site came together.

I thought this tour experience was excellent from start to finish. This is a family tour company from the area and they had the inside ‘scoop’ on how to do this tour. When I signed up for the tour, I got reassurance through emails from the owner of the company so I always felt someone would be at the port waiting for me. The group was small and the driver was excellent getting us there with plenty of time before all the cruise ship buses got there. The tour guide was someone who majored in archeology and was excellent. The stop at the market was excellent. Try the Blood Orange Olive oil. They were very accommodating. The last 40 minutes of the tour we had time to stop for a quick lunch! Highly recommend!!!!!
