Wonderful place. Really beautiful. We visited Olympia from a cruise stop and renting the VR headsets from back in time was really a high light of our time in Greece. Walking around Olympia is a really beautiful place but it’s hard to imagine what it really looked like before. These headsets take you back and you feel you are actually ‘in’ the Olympic Games. What the buildings looked like and also the story behind them. We had two children with us (13 and 11) they absolutely loved learning about the history. So much fun and super easy to use. We actually had a lot of requests from other tourists as to where we got them from. Don’t visit this site without them. Fabulous young company. Easy to find (just across from the train station) Very attentive and enthusiastic. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family.

Top notch! My guide was incredible and can not say enough good things about his knowledge and what all he was able to show me in this tour. If all the guides are as good as Yannis, you will be in great hands. Although a long drive/day from Athens, we'll worth it.
