Spirit of Olympia and Magna Grecia Farm

This was a fabulous tour! Olympia was interesting. Lots of good information there. The star of the tour was Magna Grecia Farm. It was a beautiful location, the staff were well informed and so helpful. Our “light lunch” was quite substantial and very tasty, the wine was delicious and the dancing was so fun! We had an opportunity to taste many different oils and they recommended different oils for cooking vs finishing. They had a store with jewelry, pottery, etc but we spent all our shopping time in the olive oil section. We were trying to decide how much we could carry home and they said they would ship it. Well, that experience was wonderful from recommending items to purchase, letting us know that we had a lot more space/weight at the shipping cost. Our items arrived 3 weeks later, perfectly packaged, no damage. I knew from past experience that visiting a family farm that had been in the family for generations would be great but this tour exceeded my expectations.

Our guide was wonderful! We fell in love with Ancient Olympia where without her it would have been just old rocks. She was professional, informational, humorous, and just "the best". We also fully enjoyed Magna Grecia Farm and learned so much about high quality olive oil...we're hooked and learned we can order it on line for home delivery! Wonderful trip! Greece, keep doing your tablespoon of olive oil a day!

Great trip with entertainment and lots of nice things to buy.

Everything was nice .The olive oil company was nice and the food provide for lunch was good.

We were fortunate to have Antonia for our guide at Olympia, and she really knows her stuff! Anything we could ask her, she could answer. Very interesting tour. The tour of the olive grove was also very good, and although I still don't like olives, it was interesting to learn about the production of olive oil. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Walking through history at the original Olympic Stadum was breathtaking for sure! We also enjoyed Magna Grecia Farm and its outstanding olive oil, wine and greek dancers! It was a truly wonderful day exploring and enjoying the Greek experience.

Exceeded expectations! We had the best tour woman and her shared knowledge of Olympia captured our attention. All was so interesting and although many statues destroyed, just being on the soil seeing what is left of the ruins is amazing and impactful. The Magna Grecia Farm was awesome. Greeted with wine and olive oil bread. So lovely in design and updated, beautifully laid out, authentic food and very filling. Great shopping and friendly service. Loved learning about the oils. This is our first visit to this region and personally loved it and would recommend! Enjoy!

Loved the winery visit

We experienced this excursion on 9/8/23 and cannot recommend it enough!! It was virtually a perfect day. Our guide was very informative at Ancient Olympia (and was good about finding shade at each stop). We had an hour of free time to explore the site or one of the museums, which was nice. We then made our way to Magna Grecia Farm, which was wonderful. It was breathtakingly beautiful and a lot of fun. The food and dancing were icing on the cake!

The Farm was amazing and the food and dancing were great. The tour of the Olympic grounds was very interesting, just a bit warm. They adjusted the schedule to help with crowds which I feel was a smart move.

My husband and I had been to Olympia on our honeymoon, but since our children had not, we decided to see it again. The tour was very interesting and our time was balanced well. We had an hour before leaving Olympia to either shop, explore the ruins more, or visit the archaeological museum. I liked have options to do see what mattered most to us. I also appreciated that our tour guide was adept at finding shady spots to talk to us during the tour. Our tour was in July and and it was very hot. We also very much enjoyed the visit to Magna Grecia Farm. While we had learned a lot about olive oil production from other excursions, this was the only one that took us to a location that both harvested the olives and manufactured the olive oil.

Antonia was our guide. We went to the site of the Olympics. She shared a lot of information about the Olympics back in BC. Then we went to the Magna Grecia Farm in Olympia and learned a lot about olives. We had a Greek lunch and the Greek dancers were fabulous. They even had all of us up dancing like Zorba. Well worth the money.

I highly recommend this tour. Our guide was amazing and explained Ancient Olympia so well I could picture what it was like back in the ancient times. The visit to Magna Grecia Farm was excellent with a really nice snack and dancing show.

We had so much fun on this excursion. My husband and I and 3 sons, ages 23, 19 and 17 went. The farm was just lovely. The people who ran it and gave the tour were kind and funny. They gave us so much food and wine so come hungry. The tour of Olympia was very interesting and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. She was an archeologist with multiple degrees so overly qualified to give us tours. The only issue we had was the microphone on the bus didn’t work properly and she had to shout a lot when on the bus. But that didn’t stop her from speaking. All 5 of us really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it.

This is an excellent excursion. The guide was great providing lots of information about the island. The Olympic site was very cool and the guide had lots of interesting facts. The farm was also interesting. The owner provided a history of the farm, and who they make the oil. We were provided with a delicious lunch of local foods and wine. There was a short show with dancers and they even got some of the guests involved. We were very happy with the excursion and feel that it was great value.

Antonia, our tour guide was knowledgeable, articulate, and fun. Walking around the grounds where the Olympics originated was amazing. Antonia was considerate to all the children and older guests, helping them find shade and a comfortable place to sit. The group size was just right, about 12 total. The Magna Grecia Farm was a pleasant surprise, with a fantastic lunch, and even entertainment. The best olive oils we've ever sampled.
