This excursion was fantastic! Olympia is so much more than you expect. The site is really large and there is so much to see. The ride to the beach was beautiful, and the beach was really nice. Bars, food, and restrooms nearby. Professional and good communication with the tour guides.

Despina Aggeli was a wonderful hostess. There were four of us on our tour, it was perfect to be able to be in a small group.
Great balance of Olympia and then to cool off at a beautiful beach.

Tour got off to a slow start waiting 30 minutes for a threesome that never arrived which but the whole tour behind schedule which was never made up. Guide was very knowledgeable and Olympia was educational. Beach time was less than an hour so barely time to grab a snack.
Beach was okay but subpar to most.
Would recommend if you have the entire party and could set the pace of your tour for the group.
