I did this tour with my wife and two daughters (17 and 14) and we all really enjoyed it. The audio tour enriched the visit and helped to bring everything we were seeing to life. Without it, it would have felt like we were just wandering around.

Very beautiful site and impressive in size. No translation in French, all in English on the other hand. There are quite a few trees for shade.

Was able to bypass the tour groups at the ticket booth and head straight in! The museum was amazing and the site was incredible!

Unforgettable impressions from Olympia !! But the tickets purchased through the app were more expensive than at the box office?

Fantastic ruins and instructive, well-curated museum.
