Once you are in the port of Katakolon , visiting Olympia is a must. This tour is ideal for travellers who have limited time. You will be picked up on the scheduled time and you will be taken to your destination in a luxurious, air-conditioned vehicle with safety. On the way, there will be live commentary explaining everything about the area and the sites you will visit. In Olympia you will see the Site where the first Olympic Games started and the Museum which houses rare artifacts such as Hermes of Praxitelis. Another highlight is the local traditional lunch. A place worth visiting as you will feel the warmth of the Greek hospitality, buffet lunch and you will experience things as a local.

We enjoyed our visit through ancient Olympia where the Olympic Games first began. The ruins are amazing and it was fun to set up on the starting block in the stadium. What I did not like is the US$500 we paid for basically a cab ride from our cruise ship to Olympia and back. Driver was not friendly or that talkative. He was a taxi driver… not a tour guide. We had two previous amazing tours on Viator in both Santorini and Athens. Both of those drivers Nicholas and Andreas were fantastic and extremely knowledgeable.
Third Viator booking was a real disappointment regarding the transportation.

Dora was the most wonderful guide we had on our ten day cruise! She was totally focused on our needs and responded quickly. She knew the area very well and was respected by all the vendors we visited. Any place she recommended was top quality. I would highly recommend using her for your visit

We were 3 couples in our 60's & 70's on our tour of Olympia. Two of the adult males had minor handicaps. Dora was a great tour guide & driver, her Mercedes mini bus was very clean & sound. She brought us to a wonderful restaurant for a traditional Greek lunch buffet. She was very attentive to the needs of the handicapped clients. We would not hesitate to use Travel Dora again.

Great excursion! Dora was wonderful at explaining all the history and even gave us a helpful guide for when we were touring Olympia. The lunch included was also delicious. Would do again!

The guide was friendly but unfortunately she did not accompany us in the Olympia site. We were left on our own and did not know where to go or what we were looking at. She took us to a nice greek restaurant overlooking the sea, where we ate local food.

A oh my gosh this was so amazing. You really need to have a tour guide to bring the place to life. She was amazing.

VERY DISAPPOINTING. Our reservation said 7 AM, but when we got off the ship we couldn't find anyone. Spoke to another tour agent who pointed out Dora. She said our tour wasn't to begin until 9 AM, but our paperwork said 7 AM. She managed to find another driver who would take us on the tour. After we got in the car, he told us he was not a regular tour driver and could only take us to our destination but was not able to do anything else. It was no fault of his, but basically we paid $495 for a taxi ride
A little exorbitant, don't you think? We were so upset at the situation, but what could we do? I think this was the last Viator any of us will do.
