Ancient Olympia Private Pickup and Dropoff Service Full Disposal

We were very lucky to find Elena and book our trip from Katakolon cruise port to Olympea. From start to finish, Elena's communication was excellent - handling my queries, the booking process, the meet and greet, introducing our driver and local knowledge family, our itinerary! Kostas met us at the port, introducing himself and taking us to an exceptionally clean Hyundai. He explained the route and the time we were expecting to meet Elena, tour guide exceptionare! One our journey, Kostas realised we were happy to chat and gave us a lot of information about the local area and it's history. On arrival at Olympea, we visited the old archaeological site, which was fascinating. There was a lot of information so I took lots of photos to read later! Our tour of the Olympea site with Elena is to be recommended. It was obvious she had a huge passion for her history and culture, and instil her passion, she made the tour both interesting and informative. Considering the size of the site, she focused our time on a great overview of Olympea, and its history, answering all questions asked in a knowledgeable and interesting way. Fab tour which ended with a walk through of the new museum, adding another great overview, and photo opportunity. At the we met Kostas, who took us for our 'local' experience. Not knowing what to expect, it would be easy to picture something totally different to what you get, but we loved this experience! It was extremely 'local'! We were taken to a converted train station and met by a beautiful family. It was obvious this was new to them too and it felt a little awkward at first, but very quickly their welcoming nature of wanting to please, and to share their history and culture took over. They gave us tasters of peanuts, raisins, juices, sauces, etc, that all had some link to what they produced on site, or their history, and were very keen to try and communicate the process, using a range of pictures. Then we were provided with an excellent Greek, tapas style lunch, which was amazing. Finally left with Kostas for our luxury ride back. All in all, an excellent tour. Many thanks!

This is THE WAY to experience the Olympia archaeological site and museum. We booked a private transport and tour with Elena Aggeli and had an INCREDIBLE experience. Her partner Kostas picked us up at the cruise ship port where Elena was waiting for a private tour of the museum and ruins. Elena brought the site to life and made the experience so much more immersive than if we had tried to go it alone. We now understand much more about the spirit of peace and community that lies at the heart of the games. She changed the way we think about the Olympics forever. It was one of the highlights of our month long trip. Book it, you won't be sorry.

VIATOR introduced us to Constantus, who turned out to be an exceptional tour leader. He guided us to Olympia and connected us with, Gregor, who was extremely professional and highly educated in all things Olympia. They both brought Olympia and the agricultural setting back to what life was like several thousand years ago. We thoroughly enjoyed the day that we will remember forever. Constantus and Gregor made a tremendous team and we highly recommend both to anyone traveling to Olympia!
