Olympia was amazing but the trip was let down by the difficulties using the VR Audio which also lacked any real information. We were not advised that you needed a phone for the VR audio so we had to share a phone.

The driver and tour guide were good,however the digital App is not suitable for people who are not conversant with basic digital technologies. App is not intuitive and frankly frustrating to use. The correlation of the physical assets is poor. Preferred that a numbering system on the site itself may work better.

Interesting excavations.
The museum was good.
My Fitbit counted 10,000 steps from my cruise ship to the meeting spot then to the bus, and the tour, and back to the ship. Not for folks with mobility problems.

The tour operator was very helpful and committed to preparing the transfer to Olympia, including the virtual tour. We also really liked the virtual tour, as it shows virtually and very excitingly what the sights in Olympia looked like at that time (or could have looked like). For us, it was definitely more exciting than some tour guides. 👌

All this is a bus ride and prepaid tickets to the Olympia Archeological site. There is a hop-on hop-off bus for 10 euros with 5 stops or buy a bus ticket for 10 euros. The entrance ticket to the site is 12 euros. The VR thing is an app anybody can download. There was no value added by the tour company that would justify the $49 price for what cost really $25.

Great day, beautiful sights, and transportation to and from the port was efficient. However, The VR app is too tricky to use for folks that aren't tech savvy. No explanation given on how to use app, and no prior warning given that everyone needs to bring a cell phone. Well, I did get an email an hour before the tour, but that is not sufficient. In addition, the app contains only very superficial information. I guided tour would be a better bet.

Great value and great tour. We got the skip the line tickets and it was well worth it. Also got the app for the phone and that was very informative.

Really great tour to Olympia and fantastic service from Greka Land Tours. We were late getting to Greka, forgetting time of arrival but Greka rang us 3 times until we answered and then offered us to go on the tour starting 1 hour later. They were so helpful and friendly, with great gift shop and a discount! Go with Greka 😎. Olympia is very impressive site and museums. Audio guide is well done and helpful around the archeological site.

Folks at Greka Land were lovely and it is easy to find from the cruise port, we did have some difficulties getting app loaded for VR experience, but eventually, everything worked out. VR is a little challenging to view in the bright sun and does not follow you via GPS to give you exact location matches but still interesting. We also had an issue with our ticket vouchers not being accepted at Olympia but Greka Land made a refund for our additional ticket costs once I contacted customer support. There is a guide with you on the bus but once you arrive at Olympia you are on your own.
