We had a fabulous day, driving with Nikolas from Nafplio to Olympia and Corinth. He was a terrific driver and used the time the long drive provided to us remarkable insight into Greek history, agriculture, and culture. Starting from a punctual pick-up, to a stop for Greek ice coffee for the drive, to our final ride back off the beaten path and through the stunning hills, it was a day to remember. And of course, there was Olympia and Corinth--amazing! We were lucky to visit Olympia during early Spring when the contrast between the flowers and ruins was at its peak; we cannot wait to see the start of the voyage of the Olympic torch so we can fondly recall the site and all we learned. Given the out-of-the-way location of both, this private tour was perfect!

I would recommend this tour to someone staying a while (over 3 days) in Athens who doesn't plan on exploring the Peloponnese. This "tour" is for a driver to Olympia and Corinth ONLY. He does not go into the sites with you nor is the ticket into the sites included with the tour price. This is outlined in the tour specifics. But still hiring a private driver to get you to these two sites is worth it in my opinion. Olympia is 3.5 hours away from Athens and the only way to get to it is by car. And it's definitely a great site worth seeing if you will only be in Greece once in your life. So this drive makes great sites accessible to you but don't expect it to be an actual "tour".

We had a terrible experience. Our driver did not communicate at all. He never told us how much time to spend at Corinth Canal of Ancient Corinth. When we arrived to Olympia, he opened the doors and said “here you go” and didn’t even tell us where we were. We had a whopping 2 hours to see the two museums and the outside site. He was clearly in a hurry to get back to Athens. We didn’t get picked up until 7:40 and actually had to walk to Monastiraki as he wouldn’t pick us up. The van has the seats facing each other, which was horribly uncomfortable and dangerous. Two of us are 6 feet 5 inches, so this was awful. We arrived back to Athens at 6:44pm, so we technically had almost an hour left of our time, but he was clearly in a hurry. Terrible, terrible experience and absolutely no customer service and lack of communication was atrocious. Skip this and pick another company!!

Nikolas was an excellent driver and tour guide! 12 hours from start to finish, interesting facts about both Olympia and Corinth. He helped us navigate the ticketing process and steered us to a very good cafe/restaurant for lunch. He was dependable, pleasant, without being overly talkative. We would both highly recommend! Worth every penny we paid.

Everything started on time and the driver Nikolaus was very informed and helpful , it was also a skilled driver to bring us intime for all places to visit. Olympia was very interesting and Corinth is a dive into the antique Greece.

Amazing experience. Very beautiful drive to a city with thousands of years of history. Truly unique and a splendid way to spend if you want to see outside Athens. If you are a history buff be sure to bring a journal because you see so much in a 6hour period and you may not recall it all. Our driver was an amazing gentleman and a walking encyclopedia. Loved the experience

This was an awesome tour! Our driver, Nichols was a very informative guide and excellent driver. We throughly enjoyed the ancient sites of Olympics and Corinth. The stop at Archimedes Museum was very educational and interesting. We would return here if back in the area.

This is a private tour. Olympia and Corinth are far from Athens. With the private driver, we managed to visit both sites within one day. The driver/tour guide did a great job to share with us the information about Olympia and Corinth. He also answered a lot of questions from my family about Greece history. We learned a lot from this trip! We felt it worth the money! Thank you, Nikolaos!

This was a great trip to Olympia and Corinth, in fact, I wish I could have had more time in these places but things closed relatively early in the winter season. Regardless, you'll get a great historical experience since the trip is mostly focused on getting you to the sites and seeing the museums. There is a lot to see and do on this trip, but involves a lot of driving, so if you are going to go just be prepared for a jam packed day.
