Explore Ancient Olympia, taste local wine, and pause at Agios Ilias Beach on a flexible private shore excursion from Katakolo.
“Just excellent. The most friendly people! For us this was a perfectly balanced tour. They took us to Olympia where we were able to explore on our own (not a lengthy walking tour which personally I prefer). They were ready for us afterward where they gave us options. We opted to visited an olive oil producer and had a complimentary tour and tasting. It wasn’t overly salesy at all, but they produced excellent quality olive oil which we opted to purchase. Lastly, they took us to a fantastic local restaurant for lunch, packed with locals. Not something we would have encountered ourselves. It felt authentic and we thoroughly enjoyed the…”

We would highly recommend this excursion.”

“This was a last minute choice for a cruise port that was also last minute. Our guide was really good as was the young man that met us at the docks and coordinated the tour. Everything went smoothly and as described. The only trouble we had was initially finding our meeting point but they listened to our concerns and I feel like it will be easier after a few small changes.”
Review of the half-day Ancient Olympia tour from Katakolo, with bus transport, museum entry, ruins, and a phone-based VR audio guide.
“This is not a VR experience- save yourself your time and money by booking with an honest provider. Unfortunately we thought this tour would be with VR headsets as we saw others using on site but nope- it’s a video link to a video. A video which didn’t even work! I reached out to the provider multiple times via the Viator app and received no response to the video or “VR” as the call it, not working. It was a complete waste of our day. To top it off we paid nearly $200 CAD whereas others in the group just paid 7 euros for the ride. There’s no way a…”

“Dimitris was a fantastic tour guide /driver. Provided us wonderful details about historic sites, life on the island and has great charisma. We visited family owned bee farm, wine tasting, had lunch at a local joint and visited Olympus. Fantastic day with a great human. Tour guides sometimes forget about how important it is to connect with their customer. Dimitris was fantastic!”
