Loved it! - Such an amazing day! Our group was small enough that we felt like we received personalized information and lived the hands on feel at the honey farm. The family was awesome and the entire experience was perfect for the day in Olympia. It was of my favorite adventures in Greece!

Exceptional Olympia tour - I can not say enough good things about this tour, it was one of the highlights of our vacation. Our guide was exceptional and made the tour feel personable and beyond welcoming. Klio’s honey farm was amazing, the true essence of Greek culture. They will make you feel so welcomed and like part of the family. We learned so much and had a delicious lesson in honey. Highly recommend this tour and definitely will be doing this tour again when we return to Olympia.

Medicore experience - The tour of olympia was the down side of this tour is it’s a tourist trap. You go to a honey farm and they do a nice job but there are no actual hives there. Also the olive oil is nothing more Than a store not an actual olive farm
