Excellent service and value - We took a minibus from our cruise ship to the Olympic ruins and then to Klio’s Honey Farm. The driver and guide were very friendly and accommodating of the young children in our group. The minibus had plenty of room for the 11 of us, was very comfortable, and in excellent condition. The value was far superior than booking through the cruise line. I would highly recommend

Great way to see Olympia from Katakolo/Cruise ship port! - Our half day tour in Olympia was fabulous, Our tour guide Charis gave us lots of information on the area, and after walking around Olympia we stopped at Klio’s honey farm- a must do! It was so fascinating to learn about the bees and ancient processes that are still in use today. Next, we stopped at a local restaurant to grab a gyros, yum! It was hot out so we decided to head back to the cruise ship. If you’re on a cruise, the town of Katakolo looks quaint and had a lot of shops to walk around. Otherwise a half day was the perfect amount of time for our group to see Olympia, the honey farm, and grab a local Greek meal.

Olympia long half day - We were told there would be no guide just driver. We had both and were delighted with the tour. We had a group of 31 and they particularly loved the honey farm- go figure. It was a good time

Highly recommend! - The ancient Olympic ruins and museum is not to be missed. Our guide. Andrew was the absolute best! Born and raised on the island, his knowledge and good nature made our tour priceless. He even finalized our tour by making a stop at his favorite local seaside restaurant so we could enjoy a lovely lunch. I’d highly recommend this tour and a bonus that it is accessible.

An experience - Our tour guide was so-so. Not much to see in Olympia. The one good thing about having a private tour is that you dont feel rushed at all. Missed the museum because of miscommunication from our guide.

Excellent tour to see Olympia - Our guide was great. She was very knowledgeable about the area and was great with my overheated kids. Although seeing ancient Olympia was amazing we loved going to Klio's honey farm. It was very cool seeing this farm ran after many generations. My daughter was basically drinking the honey. Such a cool experience.
