We believe that if we include all the reviews
from clients that have taken the "one day tour to Olympia"
will make these comments look unreal and will be a long list
without any result. This is why we have decided to include a
couple of them, reviews from people that would not mind to answer
to you and tell you their opinion about the "one day tour"
and the service we provide.
- Dear Kosta, What a wonderful day!!
My family and I truly appreciate the wonderful experience you provided us. Great company, information, food and sites. Your country is full of beautiful places, remarkable history and awesome people like you. The kids can't stop talking about their experience and already facebooked and others, of course!

Rest assured that we will speak highly of you and Greece and I truly hope to have the opportunity to meet again in this beautiful land.

- Kosta, Jean and I wanted to thank you for the great trip
to Olympia on October 26th and the personal touch which
you added. It was truly one of the highlights of our 2
week Mediterranean vacation. If any friends ask us
about travel services in Athens, I certainly will pass on
your information. Hope your business continues to
stay busy. Sincerely....... Dr. James and Jean Wiedeman
- Thank you so much for our tour of Olympia! I searched all
over for a tour company that offered a day trip to
Olympia and found they were nearly impossible to come
by... until I stumbled upon your website. We cannot
stress enough how impressed we were with your level of
service. The information you provided us with for the
drive up was not expected and a nice touch. You showed us
a different side of Greece, one that we might have never
seen if not for you. You were so kind, patient and
helpful. We saw many tours come and go whilst at the
sites, but you allowed us to take our time without once
feeling rushed or pressured. We really could not have
done it without you. You gave us the once in a lifetime
opportunity to see an amazing part of the world's
history. We really feel that you went well above and
beyond the call of duty to help a few of Canadian
tourists. You do come highly recommended by us! ........

From trip advisor's visitors'
reviews about Olympia: (These reviews are
the subjective opinions of TripAdvisor members).
"Ancient
Olympia is one of the few historic places that has a direct
implementation in todays life. Olympic games were born in this
place and it is really shocking to realise what some people were
able to do a few thousand years ago. The museum is a must, it has
some unbielevable sculptures.
About 70km from there in the mountains is the Temple of Epicurios
Appollon, made by the same architect who designed Parthenon in
Acropolis Athens."
"Olympia is an important site well
worth the visit. Make sure you visit the museum. It's very
educational and full of great artifacts. Unlike the ancient sites
in Athens, I actually felt like I learned a ton from the visit.
Plus it's stunning on a very basic level. The Temple of Zeus is
shockingly huge and massive.
The best way to get the most out of your visit to this sight is
to get on a guided tour. The guide will discuss not just the
actual ruins, but the History of the Games, how the Olympic games
were staged, how the Athletes lived and competed during the Games
and the significance of the Sanctuary during both the Domination
of the Greek and Roman Empires.
The Ancient Stadium with the surrounding embankments for
spectators, is sparse but thrilling nonetheless. The Philippeion,
the Nymphaion and the Palaestra are still worthy areas to view.
Olympia was a major Religious and Athletic Centre within the
Ancient World for over one thousand years, although unlike other
sites in Greece, it had no major city attached or nearby. There
was two very famous Temples within the Sanctuary of Olympia, the
Temple of Hera and the Temple of Zeus, the latter being the
temple which held the Giant Ivory and Gold statue of Zeus.
The foundations and remaining pieces of the Temple of Zeus may
not at first appear spectacular, but many of the carvings and the
Beautiful Statues from of the Pediments have been carefully
rebuilt and are housed in the Archaeological Museum.
