Amazing winery and Olympia visit - Nasia was a delight. She was friendly and chatty and was very helpful, especially when we had issues with our tickets for the Olympia site that we had purchased online. The winery was incredible. It was a small, wholesome family run affair with yummy platters that were all homemade. The wine was amazing as was the hospitality of the hosts. All in all, great day.

Excellent tour to take with family and friends - This was an excellent tour. On time pick up, clear communication of the sites and timeframes and it ended in the best way possible… visit to a local winery where the family made us feel like family with a charming vineyard table set up, delicious snacks and wine. It made our day!

Great private tour! - Our tour guide (Statis) gave us a great explanation of Olympia history, local customs, kept up really well with us, he didn’t rushed us and was very flexible with times. He took us to a very good local restaurant and explained to us the local way to enjoy it. Thanks!
