We had a great time in...

We had a great time in Olympia! Everything went exactly as planned and explained, from the initial meetup time to the return back to the cruise terminal. ​Tina was very welcoming and friendly, and she did an amazing job sharing information about the site and the region during the trip, along with great advice for the visit. It was perfectly calibrated for us—allowing us to explore the amazing site and museum with just enough context to enjoy it to the fullest! ​We were in a pretty small group (around 20 people), which was also a big plus. ​Thanks again to Tina and Spiros!

Great transportation alternative to train

We originally planned to take the train to Olympia, but booked this transportation when we figured out the train times did not align with when our cruise was in port. We were tired of in depth tours, so this was just perfect. Tina provided some information on the drive and Teo did an excellent job driving.

Absolutely Fantastic!

Tina and Panos were great from the start. Helpful, polite and thoroughly knowledgeable about history and local life. No sales pitches , no gimmicks. An extremely easy tour that my family enjoyed very much. Great value for money. Highly recommend.
