Amazing experience! It wouldn’t be the same without the glasses. Totally recommend it!

B
Beate – Austria

If you want to explore the ancient ruins of Olympia, this is the way to do it! Walking on these grounds, knowing that the Olympic Games were born there, was already amazing. But using Virtual Realty really made it come back to life. They show you how these buildings used to look like, where the athletes were training. They showed athletes racing in the ancient stadium. Plus they tell you really interesting fun facts and share short stories about the ancient Olympic Games. I enjoyed it so much and I still remember every detail vividly. I give this Tour 10 out of 10 points. Me and my husband were the only people walking around with VR goggles and I just kept thinking what all these other people are missing out on. And the staff was extremely friendly and helpful as well. I highly recommend this tour!!!

Full description

Meet your host at the local partner's office in Olympia, who will then explain how the virtual reality (VR) glasses work. After the short introduction, begin your virtual tour at the Archeological Site and step back in time to experience ancient Olympia. Listen to interesting facts about each monument and see many monuments come to life again. 

You’ll first visit the Ancient Gymnasium, where athletes used to train for the Olympic Games before making your way to Palestra, the training place of boxers and wrestlers. Next, you’ll stop at the Phidias Workshop, where Phidias created one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Heading east, you will see the Temple of Zeus and virtually enter the monument to see the magnificent Statue of Zeus. Then, find yourself in the Ancient Stadium. Through your VR glasses, you will get to experience an ancient sporting event. See athletes competing for the Olympics and admire them from the finishing line.

Then head over to the ruins of the Nymphaeum of Herodes of Atticus. With the help of your VR glasses, you’ll be able to see the ruins of the Nymphaeum in its full grandeur and see it come to life again. Last, see the lighting of the Olympic Flame in ancient times and discover that some traditions have remained the same until today.
15 monuments in total will be available for you to discover using virtual reality and audio guide.

Made Olympia come to life for us!! Highly recommend! Especially if you have kids (but my partner and I enjoyed ourselves just as much). The audioguide is interesting and a perfect length to enrich the experience - adds “short and sweet” info to each section of the ruins. The visuals really helped us picture what it would have looked like! Also we met the owner and founder at the pickup site and he was amazing- kind, interesting, enthusiastic- he designed this all himself as a pet project and is now spearheading this small business!! Please support, you will not be disappointed. :)
