We had only an afternoon stop with MSC Magnifica.

The tour and driver were really good. The only downside is that you leave the port early to take advantage of the short time allowed by the cruise line to complete the excursion and the sightseeing activities, but once you get out of the port they start telling you in every language that the tour is leaving in 15 minutes, in reality it took an hour to leave. On top of that they take you to a place nearby as the first stop to admire the sea (beautiful view) and they come back to the beginning point to get more passengers. In reality you end up leaving to Olympia an hour and 20 minutes later.
I understand that they need to fill up the bus to the max but they should tell you then that it’ll take more time so you make your own decision about going with them or taking another tour.
The tour is very cheap compare to the cruise excursion price but we couldn’t get into the museum because we had to go back to the bus. When you go from the other side of the world you don’t want to miss things just because the tour company is not honest about the time that it will take.

Olympia is a must see, but our tour guide gave us too much detail. It's sounds crazy, but even after letting her know that we were getting too much information too overwhelming she continued to tell us too much and it became difficult to pay attention.
