Was our first time in Olympia and didn’t want to miss a thing - Joanna and Nassaus made sure we didn’t miss out. It really pays to see a place with so much history and interest - I would thoroughly recommend this tour!

We used this tour company for Olympia and Athens. It is much cheaper than what is offered by cruise companies. It provides transport and an English speaking guide who was very friendly and knowledgable. He gave advice on how to enjoy the city and save money doing it. We greatly recommend their services.

We booked this ahead of time so expected to find as promised while our short port stop- over during our cruise. We found them without too much trouble, but then we were taken to our bus and left stranded waiting on the bus...no driver and no one else! it was crazy. So we had to walk back to the starting place and get help. The guide came through for us...very committed to making all things right. He worked hard at it! Once back on the bus, the trip was a success with guided talks which was a bonus we had not expected. All and all his service recovery saved the day! This is a great value as to a to and from access to Olympia from the port.
