Still in awe how they built these enormous cities so long ago. I am also amazed that 5000 plus years, give or take that I am walking the same paths that people like Aristotle and Plato may have walked. So incredible

Convenient option to avoid saying in line to get your ticket. It’s not a guided tour which was perfect. Since our guided tour got canceled last minute this was the next best option.

Excellent!!! Lovely tour company, excellent air conditioned bus, and Olympia was amazing. The archaeological museum was incredible as were the ruins. Incredibly hot, so bring water and an umbrella and even a facecloth you can wet to put around your neck.
