Must do! - The travelagent was close to terminal and they were very friendly and well organised. The bus was clean and lots of space. We were taken to the location and dropped off as it said in the itinerary. We were told what time to be back and where. The rest of the time we were on our own and you could do what you wanted to do, which we liked. We walked through the site for hours, looking at everything and taking lots of photos. We visited the museum as well. The bus came back on time to pick us up and bring us back. We were happy with the whole experience!!!

A tour and company making our day very special ! - Grekaland Travel and Cesara our coordinator were all fantastic! It’s basically a bus ride out and back to Ancient Olympia . The drive was beautiful and the driver very safe. The spot they drop off/pick up is away from the busy and confusing other tours which was extremely appreciated. They give you a free cold bottle of water, clear instructions of when to be back at bus at check in, at bus loading, and at bus unloading . On our tour a group missed the return bus that two full buses of adults were able to achieve. Cesara was professional and tried to call them numerous times, left messages and waited a few minutes but had to go to keep everyone and all her company buses running on time. She was able to get them on the next return bus but her extraordinary effort that she didn’t need to do was impressive. Would highly recommend any tour from Grekaland Tours! Thank you for being a part of a wonderful day .

Incredible - Incredible ruins that date back to centuries ago. Lits of reconstruction that is visible to the eye, but well done

Good company for a trip to Olympia - An easy transfer to Olympia and back. Company made sure we knew times and places to be. This is not a guided tour though. It really isn’t necessary as the ruins have explanations in English. The museum was very good as well. Gave us a cold bottle of water too.

Seats were a bit cramped for my 6'1" frame but tolerable. - Just what I wanted for this outing, reliable, comfortable transportation to ancient Olympia. The check-in spot was exactly as shown in the booking confirmation, bus large and well air conditioned. A careful tally of ticket holders both coming and going. Simple, well run transport on time. Done just right.

good - Very Enjoyable trip & beautiful town we also visited. The bus was too far away from our port. We had to walk to the meeting place & then walk a long way to get to the bus & yet the bus dropped us off at the meeting point on return.

Shocking No show - You did not turn up or answer the phone when we called to enquire why no one was there to pick us up.
