The tour to ancient Olympia was interesting. The tour operators had very good guides who took us taking us to Olympia. The archeologist who was our guide from Olympia, however seemed to refer to her notes quite a bit and had trouble coming up with saying what she wanted to express in English.
Christoph, met us after the Olympia portion and took our group to Kourouta beach. He was very helpful and got us all back to the port in a timely manner.
Overall it was a great day!

We did this trip instead of one of the cruise ship excursions. Easy access and location of the group in the port of Olympia. Olympia is really big and it was great to have the tour guide. Going to the beach was a bucket list item....nice place and there were good food options there (which was generally the source for the umbrellas). The beach is not very wide and you cannot easily go out too far. If the beach is a bucket list item this is good because you get that but as well as Olympia. If we had done an all day beach thing in the same location we would have been bored. Tour did Olympia first. Just consider your plan for lunch )which can be the restaurants by the beach).
