Giannis was our driver/guide and he was fantastic! We really enjoyed all parts that was perfectly arranged. The restaurant for lunch that was recommended was delicious and my family really loved the olive oil tasting. The van is really comfortable and is more like a luxury bus. Recommend this tour for other tourists!
Great day visiting Olympic ruins, visiting and olive oil mill and having a drink at a lovely seaside spot. Theo was an amazing, friendly and accommodating guide.
Andreas was a wonderful guide. He gave us suggestions on what to see, and helped us with tickets, tour books, and any thing else we needed. He knew everyone in Olympia. I think half were his cousins! He took us to the Olive Oil Factory. We bought a lot of olive oil! Then to Mount Olympia and the museum. Finally to a beautiful bar on the beach with stunning views.
Driver is courteous, knowledgeable . We highly recommend Nassos . Ride was comfortable . His restaurant has good food.
Wonderful driver and awesome experience! Theodore had lots of insight and made our day one to remember!,
We had an absolutely incredible tour of Olympia, and it was entirely thanks to the seamless coordination and wonderful team Nassos Tours. From the very beginning, the company was highly professional and incredibly quick to respond to all our emails, making the planning process completely stress-free. Our driver and tour leader, Christos, was fantastic. He was so friendly and welcoming, treating us like family from the moment we met. He managed our time perfectly, ensuring we saw all the key sites in a timely manner without ever feeling rushed. Once we arrived at the archaeological site, our licensed guide, Natalia, blew us away. She was exceptional—exceptionally detailed and skilled at adding deep historical context that truly brought the ancient history to life. If you are planning a visit to this lovely city and island, I cannot recommend Nassa’s Taxi and this team enough. They made our trip truly special!
We had a dynamic and courteous service. We have hired a guide and highly recommend it. PS. The service and food of the restaurant was just perfect!
Theodore let us know that he was waiting for us and picked us up in a very clean Mercedes. We were provided with water and a tour book to use during our stay. He was very helpful in providing tips, dropped us right at the ticket booth and assisted us in getting tickets. Was waiting for us at the Museum after we finished touring the Olympia archeological site. He was kind enough to take us to some shops in town to pick up honey and souvenirs. We enjoyed the tour very much - including the olive oil part. The beach was basically a hotel bar and we opted not to stay. It was our last port of call and our energy was waning. The communication with Nassos, the owner, was very good from the time I made the reservation and confirming the tour. Would definitely recommend this company.
Alex was very nice and flexible. Our ship was late docking and it was pouring rain. He agreed to let us be 30 minutes later than arranged time. He also suggested places to go and asked what we wanted to do. We were pleased with his service.
