Olympia virtual reality tour - a must-do - Would highly recommend this virtual reality self-guided walking tour for Olympia. Most of the sites at Ancient Olympia are very much in ruins - this tour gives information and context that are necessary to fully understand what you are looking at. The sign posts at the site are not enough to make sense of the ruins. You may look a little silly walking around with the glasses on, but it’s definitely worth it

Great! We recommend 300%!!! - Great experience!
Already, the glasses work very well, locating where you are by GPS point and the instructions that trigger themselves. The images are of very good quality, the explanations also. We did the French version and the translation was very good.
We are well aware of the layout of the place, we learn a lot and it is really a great way to own this place...especially when you are with children / teens!!!

Fantastic experience very nicely done - It was really fantastic. Very clear explanation. Then to the excavation via a route you stop at 15 points. There you get all kinds of nice info and you can really see what it used to look like. You can go into buildings. Let athletes run. Very nice and professionally made.

Amazing Experience! - The VR glasses showing the buildings and statues in all their grandeur was awesome!!! Many people around us kept asking what we were reacting to that they couldn’t see. In addition, many asked us where we rented the glasses. When we were returning them we noticed one of the people who asked outside your store!!! Kudos to you for this innovative idea!!!

back in time to Zeus and Co. - So you can imagine the size of the temples and the scale of the archaeological site much better. A definitely entertaining day with lots of background information.

VR is awesome! - This is where the new technologies are really being used very helpfully. I think for anyone who wants to get an idea of the way of life about 2000 years ago, this virtual reality will find it. Ruins are brought to life, where spectators and runners can watch the races and even hear their own voice in the echo hall. So really a quick introduction to antiquity. In addition, the OBIT (Olympia back in time) team is also very helpful and cooperative. Keep it up! We will definitely come back.

Don’t see park without these VR glasses! - This tour was simply the best. The VR glasses are easy to use. Others wandering around the archeology cite were reading signs and listening to tour guides. Our VR glasses showed us how it really looked with live action and a cool sounding British man narrating. There was an option for other languages. Everyone visiting this park should have these! A few people were curious and we showed them what we were doing. They all regretted not having them. And what a bargain compared to the cost of a tour guide! When you get off the bus in Olympia, call the number on the receipt. He will tell you where to come pick up the glasses( 1 minute walk) and give you a brief orientation. I am not good with gadgets, but found them easy to use!

Great experience and great imagery - What a phenomenal product. The 3D lets you see how things were back then. It adds a little bit of real life imagery. The stops 4 and 5 leading to 6 need work. Told to turn left and there were 2 paths. Feat were done.

Super 3D - Excellent this 3D concept! Too bad it is not accessible on the site! We went back into town and left on the sidewalk in front of the church, found: Achilles! Yeah! Bravo for the welcome and his colleague is super nice too and in addition: they speak French!
There are still places to add to these virtual tour glasses, but we came back on purpose to visit Olympia with so we are delighted!
Thank you and the rental is cheaper than advertised!
