• 5Hit all the spots on this Olympia Tour

  Great day running around with Panos. Solid guide and all the locals loved him too. Great spots we hit.

• 5Personal and seamless private tour

  Great tour! Not inexpensive, but Charis was lovely and very knowledgeable, well connected and made the tour a seamless experience, accommodating our timeline at each of the stops (which are beautiful, family run, and don't feel tourist-trappy at all). Perfectly timed the visit to Olympia to beat the crowds. The only thing is I wish we had upgraded to the guided tour of Olympia, but honestly was not a bad experience setting your own pace with the book he gives you.

• 5Amazing day!!

  We toured Olympia, a local honey farm, an olive oil farm and a local winery as a part of our experience. The time spent at the honey farm and especially the winery felt more like spending time in a family home with local hosts than it did a tourist experience; it was beyond fantastic and felt completely authentic (because it was)! The whole experience was seamless, easy, convenient, and comfortable. A wonderful and unforgettable experience!

• 5Stathis was great!

  Stathis was the best tour guide that we had during our 9 day cruise of the Italian and Greek Islands. Our tour of Olympia with him was on Sept 12, 2025. He went out of his way to make sure that we comfortable with what he had planned for us during the 7 hour tour. He meet us on time right on the dock where he had his car waiting for us. Once at Olympia, one member of our group had forgotten his sunglasses, and Stathis gave him his own to wear during our tour there! He also purchased a nice gift for each of us to remember our time with him in Olympia. He took special care to take to us places that are not on the typical tourist sites including a family run honey farm and a boutique winery where we were treated to the most wonderful layout of traditional greek foods along with our wine tastings. We also sent to a beach that was private, but he was able to get us in. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again for another tour and would recommend him 150%.

About Olympia

Olympia is a quiet village in the western Peloponnese, grown around the ancient sanctuary of Zeus where the first Olympic Games were held.

Olympia lies in a green valley where the rivers Alfeios and Kladeos meet, in the western Peloponnese. For well over a thousand years, beginning in the eighth century BC, the sanctuary hosted games in honour of Zeus every four years. The ruins include the Temple of Zeus, once home to a gold-and-ivory statue of the god by Phidias, famed across the classical world; the Temple of Hera; and the original stadium, entered through a vaulted tunnel.
