One of the best experiences of my life! - I would have liked to stay in that world, it was so wonderfully reconstructed and with an evident passion that transpired precisely from the care and historical attention placed in the virtual reconstruction. I am an archaeologist and I would really like this service to be available in all archaeological sites, as a means of bringing the visitor closer to reality, the colors and sounds of time, for an even more immersive experience. It was one of the best experiences of my life and I have to thank the guys for their extreme kindness and friendliness.

Great experience - perfect choice for an easy self guided tour through Olympia. - The virtual reality glasses were perfect. They worked well and made our visit to Olympia much more interesting and educational. The folks running the shop were well organized, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour if you are doing a self guided walk through Olympia.

Fabulous, to do without hesitation - Fabulous ! In addition, the comments accompanying the virtual tour are very interesting.
It seems like it, even the echo of our voice is put to music when we are facing the stoa echo building

Virtual Reality added to the experience! - What a great way to add to the experience of visiting the Olympia grounds! The commentary via the VR headset was a fantastic way to learn more about the ruins, and hear stories that added to the experience.

The ONLY WAY to visit Olympia! - Don’t even go to Olympia without the virtual tour! The technology is amazing and extremely easy to use. Without the virtual tour you will just be visiting the remains of the site. This tour brings the original Olympic Games back to life right in front of your eyes. Simultaneously the audio guide gives you the story behind what you are looking at. This is the only way to visit Olympia!

Essential and amazing — don’t hesitate! - These made the visit to Olympia archaeological site amazing! I wasn’t sure how it would work, or if picking them up would be a hassle. It was super easy! We went with our parents in their late 70s and even they used them well. It changes how you understand what you are seeing so dramatically — I wish they had these for all sites!!! The glasses come with an audio component and a site map programmed into the tool. The glasses give you audio directions by using gps technology while you walk around the site. Can’t recommend these enough!!

Unique tour - Overall it was really helpful and provided additional knowledge that we would not have had without the VR goggles. However, we both had motion sickness trying to use these too much. We had to limit our use.
If we were to do this again, we would hire a guide or do an audio tour.
