Perfect trip to Olympia/ Perfect Guide!! - Extraordinary experience, exceptional guide!!! From the exceptional communications from Dimitris days prior to our adventure, to his punctual pickup as we exited the ship, to his learning about our needs and then executing, to his sharing so much more than historical narrative, Dimitris delivered a perfect, personal, entertaining and extremely high value experience. Perfect itinerary / Perfect guide!!!

Great Katakolon tour - Mario is great, third-generation family business owner. He met us at the dock on schedule and drove us around Katkaolon. He shared some information on the communities around the community. My family and I conducted a self-guided tour through the ruins which were very interesting. After we met back with Mario, he recommended a local beach where we had some lunch and got in the Mediterranean. It was a wonderful time and would recommend Mario and the family owned business when in Katakolon.
