It was a fantastic tour with Elena 🤩 She inspired us a mixture of information about the excavations, the history of Greece and a lot of information about the country and people. Absolutely recommended and all the info and displays could not have brought us nearly as well closer to the place.

Elena Aggeli is the best tour guide for visiting Olympia, Greece and the best tour guide we ever had. She is very knowledgeable and most important she presented information that was organized and easy to understand. She even answered all our questions. In addition to guiding us through the Olympia archeological site and museums, she helped us plan our travel to and from Athens and our accommodations. She is the best. As a tip to other travelers we suggest you be aware of large groups when you visit the museums.

Our guide, Elena, was exceptional—she brought ancient Olympia to life with vivid descriptions and insightful storytelling. At the museum, she highlighted key artifacts and shared fascinating details, saving us from having to read every plaque. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a deeper, more engaging experience.

We decided to book a private tour to Olympia because we didn't want to be rushed through as so many cruise ship tours tend to do. Costas our driver picked us up at the dock and drove us to Olympia to meet up with our guide. His car was clean and comfortable and offered complimentary cold water, which was a nice touch. We meet up with Elena, our guide, who was very nice and laid back. She did not rush us at all and offered a lot of knowledge on all that we wanted to see. She was also good at painting a realistic picture of the area in it's time and what life was like for both athletes and spectators. We booked them for 5 hours and although we were offered an alternate activity that day, she graciously spent the whole time with us at Olympia. We sure picked the right tour guide! Thank you, Elena and Costas for an enjoyable experience, we highly recommend you!

We were very pleased with the ancient Olympia tour that we did with Elena. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the site and the excavations. She gave us great insight into why the games were started and what the importance were behind the games. Had we gone on our own, we would have missed out on so much. There are a few information signs around but they do not give near the information that our guide did. I believe it is important to have a guide here and I highly recommend Elena. Her English is very good!
