Book this tour of Olympia. It was just what we wanted to get to know the city - We loved the city of Olympia although I got very tired. I use a cane and the characteristics of the place made it difficult for me because I was determined to tour the Olympic area even though it was not recommended for those who did not have the necessary physical conditions. The driver was especially friendly. Although he was not authorized to park closer to the place, he accompanied us to the entrance, which was not that close, at least for me, offering me his help, which was not necessary because I was with my husband who takes good care of me. I don't regret having gone. We also visited the Archaeological Museum, which is well worth seeing, and the Archimedes Museum, small but interesting. The Center is very small but meets the needs of those who want to bring gifts home. Upon returning from the first museum we crossed a very pleasant square where we had a drink. It was delicious to be there! Sun and shade, for all tastes, bougainvillea in bloom and leafy trees, invited us to rest for a while. I liked to feel the chatter and the cordial greetings of the locals, including our driver; It is seen that everyone knows each other and even meets frequently to share leisure time. I'm sure most of them are related! As soon as we started to stop, our driver - Sorry, I forgot your name - came over in case we needed him and to advise us on what we could do next. Of course he took us to the best places to take photos and enjoy the beautiful sunny day, warm and with a very pleasant light breeze. A piece of advice: if you go in October and you are going to be on land early, bring a light coat because you will need it in the first hours although you can do without it later if the day is sunny; Also, you will get hot with exercise In a word: visit Olympia! I wish I remembered the driver's name! I would recommend it because it was impeccable at all times!
