Wonderful experience! Peter was fantastic and very helpful. He went out of his way to help us get pictures! I would recommend booking a guide for inside the museum and ruins at Olympia, but Peter had a great video outlining what the buildings looked like originally for us to watch after visiting. Very interesting experience! Highly recommend!

Our private tour of the Ancient Olympia archaeological site and museum was an unforgettable experience for us history buffs. Our exceptional driver guide, Yannis, made the day truly remarkable. His deep knowledge and passion for history shone through as he shared fascinating insights throughout the tour, giving us ample time to explore the site at our own pace.
To top it off, we enjoyed a delightful lunch at an authentic Greek taverna, savoring the flavors of Greece. As an unexpected bonus, we were treated to a free upgrade to a luxurious Mercedes Van for our journey. This tour was a perfect blend of history, culture, and comfort, and we can't recommend it enough. Thank you, Yannis, for making our day at Ancient Olympia so special!

Manos we cannot thank you enough for all your efforts!

Visiting ancient Olympia was a bucket list experience for me. Seeing (and learning about) the Corinth Canal was an unexpected bonus. Our guide, Yannis, was amazing. Yeah, the ride to and from Athens was a little long, but the stories and history that Yannis shared along the way made the time pass by quickly. I'll be recommending this trip to my friends and family.

I wish I had a picture of Basilli, our driver, to share. He was our favorite part of our tour! He spoke enough English to answer our many questions about life in Greece. He patiently waited for our two nieces to bungee jump in the Corinth Canal (and took pictures for us!). It was a long drive to Olympia from Athens where we had lunch at a cafe and wandered the multiple historical and archeological attractions. You could spend many hours taking it all in, but it was very hot outside in late June with little shade. Don’t miss the Archimedes museum just down the street in town for some hands on exploration with the kids. Archimedes was such an amazing mind! Basilli navigated the tight crowded streets in Plaka with a big van (we had 10 people) to bring us almost to our hotel doorstep at the end of the very long day. He was our family for the day, and we were grateful to his family for loaning him to us. :)

We had hard time to communicate with the driver. He was quiet. When arriving a point, he just let us get off the car and did not say how long we need to spend, what time we come back to the car. He did not explain any of history or any information about the trip.

Yannis was amazing! His knowledge was outstanding and you could tell he had a passion for history. He could tell the stories in a way that was easily understood and entertaining. He was willing to to answer questions we had whether it was about ancient history, Greek mythology, biblical history or current Greek life and culture. He always made us feel safe and well looked after. Highly recommend.

We did a tour of ancient Corinth with Tas. He was so informative and knowledgeable we learned a ton. He also is a very kind and sweet man. We will book with him anytime we’re back in Greece.
