A small jewel of the Peloponnesus - As a cruise ship destination, Katakolo is the gateway to Olympia, but the port and its neighbor Pyrgos (the county capital) themselves are delightful and informative. Having explored Olympia on a previous visit and wishing to avoid another crowded historical site/ museum, we chose the Hop-on. We enjoyed the Sunday morning ambience in Pyrgos’s central square and Memorial Park, the views over the bay, and the small jewel of the very well done regional archeological museum. The bus audio was a bit cranky (volume control stuck on the loud side, and the channels were a bit askew) but we figured it out. Efcharisto!

Decent tour - There are not many stops, but for the amount we paid, it was worth it. This is a small town with a few cool places to visit. Check it out!

Great time visiting Olympia Greece - Good tour, well organized, plenty of time to see and do what you wanted. Had a great time walking around the ruins in Olympia. And a lovely meal at a Cafe in town.

Lovely tour, good museum - The museum of olympia was air conned & cool & free WiFi. Exhibitions very good, cafe & shop small. Bus air conned too which was a relief as sun was approaching 30 degrees!!! Too hot to do much walking around.

The hop on/off in Katakolo was nice. - I missed the ride to Olympia. I don't feel the details are explained upon booking. I was expecting a more hop on/off experience where I could get on anytime. I saw conflicting start times. As I was 10 minutes late, the bus left. It should have been explained that there is only one start time to Olympia each day.

Shame - Nothing to see along the way, bad information, bad ears. Bus broke down. Definitely not recommended. Our group of 5 agrees with this

Not a typical hop on tour - Way $$$ for what it was. You can pay €10 on the bus. I paid a lot more! At least 10 speakers didn't work on the bus. Save the $. The driver did nothing and then pretended not to understand.

Buy tickets on the bus, if you decide to go - More than half of the speakers in the bus don't work. Told the driver and he said why didn’t we tell him? We did. They did nothing and then he didn't understand us. We also paid €30 with Viator, but you can pay €10 right at the bus itself. Very disappointing!

Bait and Switch - Worst experience ever! You are on my list to request refund. We paid for excursion to Olympia and when we got on bus, olympian was not part of the tour! Overpriced ticket to go to town and back! Will Never purchase excursions with TripAdvisor again!!!
