Step back in time - The Olympia Walking tour with VR glasses was an amazing way to explore the Ancient Olympia site. The orientation at pick up office was thorough and the glasses were a perfect self guide. The virtual reality glasses gave a fascinating recreation of Olympia of the past. Many visitors stopped us to ask where they could hire them!

Immersive guided tour - Brings another dimension to this extraordinary site. Not a perfect VR experience but definetly something to try and that should be proposed in other archeological places.

VR glasses in Olympia, a must-do! - Great set up, really nice and poly-lingual owners who are not only highly welcoming but who provide simple and concise instruction for the RV glasses. I would suggest this experience to anyone since there is limited information about the buildings and the rich historical background directly on the site.

Fantastik! - No need for a tour guide, the owner, the service and company were incredibly accommodating and hospitable. The glasses bring it to life as you listen to the stories. My boy’s absolutely loved it! Do yourself a favor and book this! Excellent value!

Amazing experience! Should do the same for every archeological site in the world! - Excellent service, experience and equipment! This was one of our highlights in our 10 days in Greece! Could not recommend it enough! And rent one for each family member. We almost shared two for the four of us and we would have regretted it, because it is so cool to experience as a family!

History has never been so vivid! - We had rented two glasses to two adults and two children (10 and 14). The briefing was done via German learning video. the guide was extremely friendly and helpful. We walked to the park with the glasses on. The handling was child’s play, and Olympia came alive for us with the help of the glasses and the audio guide connected to the glasses via headphones. It was fascinating how the stones suddenly became stadiums and how easy it was to acquire knowledge.
We started the tour at 4:30 p.m., and although it was still hot, it was a great pleasure for all of us. There are always trees in the park, so you can absorb the information well in the shade.
The specified 2 hours to the tour, we needed thick.

Extraordinary - 👍 - Absolutely delighted by the visit of the Olympia site with the 3D glasses!
Exceptional experience!!
We walked among the ruins and stopped to observe, through the glasses, the athletes, the temples, the statue of Zeus!!
We never thought this experience could make us so happy!! I have nothing more to say!! Go ahead, go ahead!!
The host speaks good French and is very smiling😃!
Great address!
Only one point of attention, glasses are to be removed in the village (10 minutes walk from the site) and not at the park entrance!
We recommend +++

A lot of walking - Booked this as an excursion while on a cruise to Greece. This would have been fine if you were not constrained by the ship arrival and departure time and location. To get to the store front where you pick up the equipment you must get transportation from the port to Olympus - about a 30 minute travel time. then you have to walk to the site pick up the equipment and walk about 1/2 mile to the actual ruins/park. Entrance into the park is not included and has to be paid before entry. They said it was because there are different rates based on age but only if you live in Greece as we found out at the gate. You then proceed to walk around the historical site and it is a lot of walking. Keep an eye on your time. The site said it could be walked in an hour or so but that does not included the walk to and from the storefront. The information provided via the VR was more than you get from the site as there are few markers around saying what anything is.
