We visited the site with a 5 year old and had such a good experience with the googles. Traveling as a family with small kids can make guided tours really hard and long, but with the googles we could follow the suggested path in our own pace and explore the ruins. We were there for 2,5 hrs and was entertained and informed all the way. Thanks to Achilles for suggesting only using one set of googles to share, so the experience was social and more fun as a family to use.Late April was a beautiful time to go - cool air! Gorgeous spring blooms everywhere and no crowds. The vR tour brought everything to life at our own pace. My hubby especially liked running the race on the original track. So fun!

The audio and visual facility provided by Achilles VR was excellent with relevant factually information to each individual location within the site aswell as options to hear further facts relating to every aspect of the history of Olympia. We live today in the knowledge that every person taking part in the Olympics has guaranteed safety to compete in any particular event is just like the original events thousands of years ago . Much easier to hear and see the original Olmpia without trying to read the small print on the signage around the historic site.the glasses made it possible to understand the huge dimensions. This has made time travel a lot more immersive. It was a perfect match
