Fantastic private tour! - It was one of our most favorite private tours that we took on our 2 week journey. Niki was such a delight as a tour guide. It felt like traveling with a friend. The olympic sites were impressive but we had our most fun at the winery. The family is welcoming, the food is lovingly homemade and the wine is delicious. We loved every single minute! Don't miss this one!

Great day! - We had an amazing experience. Our driver was personable, gave great advice and tended to our very need. Highly recommend. The winery/ olive oil farm was quaint, the beach was beautiful and the ruins were not too crowded.

Highlight of our trip - Our driver Niko took us to the museum entrance of Olympia and waited us for there. He picked up our tickets in advance to save us time. From there we went to a small family winery that big on hospitality. We sampled a white, rose and red wines accompanied by 2 platters of food and finished with the most delicious cinnamon wine. When he dropped us back at our ship, Niko presented us each with a souvenir from Olympia. Highly recommend.

Fantastic guide makes a fantastic tour - Dimitris, was our guide and it could not have been a better experience. His local knowledge and experience provided us a rememberable and remarkable time.
With his experience he lead us to by Olympia tickets and skip the tremendous queues.

An excellent experience and high end personal touches - We had a magnificent day touring the Olympia sites, which are amazing, and the winery is a must stop, what made it so special is the highly personal touch that Charis brought to the tour. His selection of our stops was excellent, and I couldn’t give them a higher recommendation. If you’re coming to Olympia, you have to take this tour.

A day in Olympia - An interesting excursion in Olympia was had by all. Our guide made sure we had reference materials (app and book) so that we could identify the buildings that were part of these ancient ruins. The guide, Panoes, was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed learning about the town and walking around the city and enjoying refreshments.
The winery and olive mill was a very pleasant experience. The staff at this stop were very friendly. The tour was quite informative and the tasting was delightful.
Our best tour by far as we journeyed around Greece!

We miss you Nikos!!! - We had the best time with our driver Nikos. I miss him already!!! He catered the tour to everything we wanted to do and he is so fun to ride around with. Can’t speak for other drivers but we have been traveling Greece for the past 2 weeks and this was the best tour we had so far!! Can’t put into words how awesome our experience was. We went to ancient Olympia, an olive oil distillery and the beach which was the perfect amount of stuff to see.
