From an organizational point of view, everything worked out perfectly, our driver was already waiting for us in the van at the port of Kyllini. on the trip to Olympia we received a lot of very good information about the region, history and Olympia. There was also time and space for the individual organization of the day, very flexible. All in all a good experience and highly recommended!

Very fun tour, worth it! There were no drone stops, no photos or videos taken either, no soft drinks were served at dinner time.. But the tour is sensational, we know many amazing spots!
