Summary: The private tour was the best choice, Tina made sure we saw everything we wanted to and that the day ran very smoothly. We skipped lines, tasted the local specialties and experienced the best of Olympia. Tina and Costa made us feel very welcome!

Summary: We had a delightful private tour with George in his personal vehicle. He took us to the usual museum sites of Olympia and saw the ruins where the first Olympian’s competed. We also especially enjoyed the visit to the honey farm and he added in a visit to ann olive oil pressing facility for that region. It was quite interesting and very helpful for understanding the economy in that region and how olive oil is created. George was enthusiastic and really wanted us to have a great experience!

Summary: "Our day with Stathis was simply perfect! He was knowledgeable, professional, and made every stop special - from Olympia to the honey bee farm and olive press company, ending with a delicious lunch by the sea at Agios Andreas Beach. We couldn't have asked for a better or more attentive guide who deserves many more stars than five!!!!!!!
