After decades, it was great to return to see Epidaurus, Mycenae and Delphi; and to see Olympia for the first time. The new museums at the sites are excellent. The hotels and our guide Casandra were wonderful.

We had a fantastic time on this tour. The drive to Olympia and Delphi was absolutely beautiful and breath-taking! The trip was very well organized with ample time at each place. The accommodation was nice at both Olympia and Delphi. The hotel at Delphi had a lovely view! Our guide Lillian was great and had amazing knowledge of Greek history which made the visits to all the archeological sites and museums even more interesting. Our group was also really nice and we all had a fun 3 days together! We would highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Greece.

Our tour guide was excellent very knowledgeable and friendly and bus driver was very friendly and helpful. The tour was wonderful and I would recommend it and do it over again. Note prepare that the first day of the trip is full schedule. But very well planned. The only thing we felt that the Olympia accomodations may need to be updated. Bring your bathing suits both locations had beautiful pools.

This was beautiful and, most importantly, uncrowded in March. Wildflowers were everywhere. Our guide was informative. The first day was very long riding all the way to Olympia.

Our guide was outstanding, and the hotels were both comfortable and relaxing. The coach journeys were as pleasant as could be expected, with a good driver. The quality of the trips round the archaeological sites was excellent, with well thought through and informative tours- considerably enhanced by the communication and enthusiasm of the guide. We wondered, however, whether there were too many visits to souvenir shops, and the time could be better spent in getting to the hotels earlier. This would have enabled us to have a little more time to relax, especially at Olympia.

Our guide, Antonio was amazingly knowledgeable, and our driver Dionysus was incredible on the winding roads. I felt very safe. However, we were on a bus where approximately 1/2 of the people were Italian, so the Guide had to repeat everything in both English and Italian. This got very tiring after some time. At the sites, he was wonderful, but because he had to repeat everything in dual languages, there was little or no time for questions. We upgraded to the "first class hotels" but the hotel in Olympia (the Amalia) was awful and not very clean. The hotel in Delphi (Amalia Delphi) was much better. Food was very good. Though the trip wasn't "perfect" the experience was definately worth it. My favorite part was Delphi which was beautiful. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is physically fit enough to walk and climb a bit.

The trip was little too relaxing for me (30 years old) as Olympia and Delphi had absolutely nothing to do other than the historical sites. No wi-fi at the hotel in Olympia and in Delphi you can only use it in the lobby and only 50% of the time was working. It is just unacceptable for a 3/4 star hotel. Other than that, everything else was excellent.

The accommodations in Olympia could have been much better.

The hotel in Olympia was past its prime. The hotel in Delphi had a terrific view and was adequate. I would suggest installing a laundry facility for guests at either hotel. The guide was OK.
