Great experience - The guide is excellent and very kind. The visit to the ancient Olympia is amazing. I recommend to get an audio guide since the excursion does not include it.
Visiting the oil press was great and olive oil tasting delicious. The beach is small but water is clear and delightful. 100% recommended to make the most of the place.

Best tour ever! - The driver was amazing. He took us around to where we wanted to go, had great suggestions on how to go through the Olympic ruins to avoid the crowds and heat. He took us olive oil tasting which was amazing. Then to a local restaurant and he helped us order food. It was so good and affordable. Had the best day!!

5 stars - Nicko was incredible. Full of life and information. A true pleasure to tour with. He knew the best spots and was very accommodating. The last part... we were boarding ship that was set to leave in an hour when I figured out my 7 year old had placed my phone in the side pocket of the car's door. I frantically waved down a taxi to see if they knew our driver (all of Nickos contact info was in said lost phone). Apparently, everyone knows and loves Nicko and they called him and he made the journey right back for drop off. That could have been bad. Thanks to Nicko's quick action and loved character, I tracked down and got phone back. Highly recommend for tours and even slight emergencies.

Great Tour - Dora met us at the ship port and we started our adventure at Olympia before all the crowds got there. We were there an hour or so, which was plenty of time for us. We then went to Kilo’s Bee farm, which was fantastic. We learned a lot about bees and honey we never knew before. They gave us sweet treats and drinks and had honey and lotions for sale. Very personal tour. Then went to Magna Greacia Winery and Olive Farm. Learned about olives and then had a lunch there of traditional Greek foods. It was delicious but a lot of food, plus wine. There was a gift shop there you could buy all sorts of things. Then we stopped a short time at a beach and headed back to port. We were dropped off in town and our friends had her take them back to the boat. Dora was a good driver, had a nice clean van, free WiFi, and very informative on the area and things we saw. We did a 12 day cruise and this was one of our favorite tours. Nice to just be 4 of us on the tour and not a huge bus load.

Great Day In Olympia - I travel to Olympia, Greece with my wife and two friends. John was our driver. He did a really good job taking us around the island. Though he was not a tour guy, he was able to provide us with enough information for us to enjoy our visit to the Olympic museum as well as a winery. He monitored the level of activity at different tourist areas and was able to help us make the most of our day. He took us to an excellent winery Turrisi, where they produce both wine and olive oil. There we had a great tour and were able to sample some of the wines and olive oil. I strongly recommend to anyone taking this type of a tour to realize the difference between having a driver and a license tour guide. In this instance we were able to plan our day with John and had a great day.

Disappointed - Tour guide was a bit disorganized & not very knowledgeable. Needed way more time at Olympia and should have been supplied with a guide map and or a guided tour. The lunch at the Olive Press was not worth the money and seem very much touristy verses authentic.
