Excellent Tour of the Olympic Games Site in Olympia

Published on Nov, 2024

Niki was an excellent tour guide! She explained with detail the history of Olympia, its Olympic Games ruins and all the relevant historical information. She was patient with our questions and ensured we understood her explanations. This tour is well worth it to appreciate your Olympia visit.

Niki makes Olympia come alive!

Published on Oct, 2024

Niki is a fantastic tour guide and I cannot recommend booking a tour with her enough. She made Olympia come alive in a way that we never would have been able to imagine without her! She is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. Niki also tailored her tour to our backgrounds covering more history and the relationships between Olympia and other sites in Greece. We spent nearly two weeks travelling around Greece and Turkey visiting archaeological sites and our tour of Olympia with Niki was one of our favorite parts of our entire trip. Props to Dimitris as well for the flawless booking process and answering all of our questions in a timely and thorough manner. Niki has a great team and setup!

Awesome service— request Sotiria!

Published on Sep, 2024

Our guide, Sotiria, was absolutely fantastic! She led us first through the Olympic ruins. She took her time, thoroughly explaining everything in detail and answering our many questions with ease. Her historical knowledge was very impressive. She then led us through the museum, relating everything we were seeing to where it would have been located in the ruins. We learned so much more than we ever would have by listening to a recorded audio tour or touring on our own. I highly recommend getting a guide through this service and requesting Sotiria!

Best experience of our whole trip

Published on Aug, 2024

Zoey was our guide. We had 12 people in our party ranging in ages from 7 to 74. We were picked up by our cruise ship in a van. We went to Oilympian olive oil mill, the Olympic site, and a lunch. We had a tour and a tasting at the olive oil mill. It was so fun and tasted so good. We bought some oil to take home. We then went to the archeological site. Zoey told us about the different ruins and we had our own Olympic race with the kids. Zoey made a “crown” from branches for the winner. She then took us to Bacchus restaurant for lunch. We would have never found it on our own. This place is amazing. The food was superb. I had the best baklava that I will probably ever have in my life. She dropped us off in Katakolon to pick up souvenirs before we boarded. It was the best tour of our 14 day trip.

A fantastic guide in Olympia!
