Excellent Day in Olympia with Stathis - Stathis was the best tour guide we could have asked for. His attention to detail on our tour was unparalleled and he truly made us feel like family. He was a very safe driver, his vehicle was clean, and he provided so much information about Olympia and the surrounding areas. We were able to explore local gems and had a traditional Greek lunch with recommendations by Stathis. It was truly an incredible day and one we won’t forget. Thank you Stathis!

Dora our tour guide was... - Dora our tour guide was absolutely wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about the area. She was also extremely friendly and allowed us to make some adjustments to our schedule. We wanted to spend more time in Olympia and walk around the town, so decided to skip the beach. The olive press was very interesting, my kids even enjoyed learning about the process and loved sampling the oils. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially to those with limited time as you will learn and see a lot!

Fantastic outing - Our guide, Charis, was absolutely great. He agreed to start early to assist us in avoiding the cruise bus crowds at the Olympic site.
Very nice van as well.
The site itself was quite moving, allowing one to imagine the first Olympic games.
The museum was very well done and interesting.
Later, we visited a family owned olive oil company and learned a-lot as well as sourcing some great products after a fun tasting.
The best part was stopping by Charis’ house to get some of his home grown oranges. They were undoubtedly the best we have ever eaten. All gone within 30 minutes of our return.
A great outing and I highly recommend this excursion.

Awesome experience - Andreas also known as Andrew was awesome! From being prompt at our pick up with a sign to the history information he offered, perfect would the be the word I would use. We were not rushed at all and I definitely recommend the olive press tour at Magna, it will not disappoint!

Great experience - The guide is excellent and very kind. The visit to the ancient Olympia is amazing. I recommend to get an audio guide since the excursion does not include it.
Visiting the oil press was great and olive oil tasting delicious. The beach is small but water is clear and delightful. 100% recommended to make the most of the place.

Best tour ever! - The driver was amazing. He took us around to where we wanted to go, had great suggestions on how to go through the Olympic ruins to avoid the crowds and heat. He took us olive oil tasting which was amazing. Then to a local restaurant and he helped us order food. It was so good and affordable. Had the best day!!

5 stars - Nicko was incredible. Full of life and information. A true pleasure to tour with. He knew the best spots and was very accommodating. The last part... we were boarding ship that was set to leave in an hour when I figured out my 7 year old had placed my phone in the side pocket of the car's door. I frantically waved down a taxi to see if they knew our driver (all of Nickos contact info was in said lost phone). Apparently, everyone knows and loves Nicko and they called him and he made the journey right back for drop off. That could have been bad. Thanks to Nicko's quick action and loved character, I tracked down and got phone back. Highly recommend for tours and even slight emergencies.

Disappointed - Tour guide was a bit disorganized & not very knowledgeable. Needed way more time at Olympia and should have been supplied with a guide map and or a guided tour. The lunch at the Olive Press was not worth the money and seem very much touristy verses authentic.
