Very basic approach. This is transportation only, no guide. If you looking for background on culture, people, food or Country. This one is t for you.
If you’re just looking for a ride to the site this is perfect. The people were friendly and accommodating and the buses were on time. No issues.
We even missed our initial bus because our cruise ship was a tad late in docking. They put us on the very next bus and did it with a smile.

Shuttle service only to Olympia, well organised and clean coach, pickup both directions with clear instructions, plenty of time at Olympia

Our cruise docked on time and we were at the meeting point at 8 am. The bus for the tour was to start at 9 am. We wasted 1 hour just waiting. The tour organizers were nice, they gave water and told us to go around and shop but none of the shops were open. There were plenty of taxis and local buses from this port to Olympia. If I had know, I would have never booked this tour. At 9 am, they had almost three buses full of cruise passengers, and it took another 20-25 mints to get going. Once we reached Olympia, we were left on our own. We went to buy tickets and obviously all passengers from all three buses scrambled at the same time to get tickets. The ticket machines did not work, adding more confusion and chaos. We were directed to the museum to buy the tickets. It took another hour. Finally we went through the museum ( which is fantastic), then roamed around asking for directions to the Olympic starting line, which I had read. No one knew anything. We went through the ruins and were able to locate it. On our way back to the bus, we had 20-25 mints and we spotted the other museum and quickly went there. We had to rush, I wish we had more time, it’s a great museum with info on how Olympics started and the timeline.
We didn’t get time to explore enough nor time for the market that was outside Olympic area because so much time was wasted waiting for bus and getting tickets.
Once we went back, we had time for lunch at Katakolo near the pier. The food was overpriced and not good. Wish we had taken a taxi or local bus to save time and enjoy at our pace.
This is not a tour, it’s just pick up and drop off.

Bus took us to Olympia for a self guided tour. Don't miss the Museum it is located away from the archeological site but included in your entrance ticket.

Tour was little more than transport to Olympia. And return transport meeting place was not clear. Seven of us were waiting in a different parking lot. Guide should have been specific.

Good safe ride to the site. A bit tedious boarding process, named called 3 times forcing getting on the bus in alphabetical order vs arrival time. Otherwise, as expected no frills just a ride from the port to Olympia on time.

Straight forward bus transfer
No support from Bus escort for tickets to monument entry directions
Very difficult for seniors

Bus ride is not as easy if sone of the guests do not arrive on time. Overall the operators did a good job. If you do not mind having 40 or plus people on the bus and have enough free time, this service is acceptable. Private transfer with smaller cars or vans are a better choice.

This is not a tour - just a transfer ! The booking agent attempted to assist some passengers to download apps so they would have some info on our tour of the sites. Would have been better if Viator had provided this info prior to tour do everyone could have downloaded info.

Not so much as a tour, more of a bus transfer. Experience was good. Olympia excellent and a lovely town. Good bus service.
