All Olympia Tours & Excursions in 2026

Our tour of Olympia was one of the absolute highlights of our trip, and Theodora was the reason why. A locally born archaeologist, she brought an incredible depth of knowledge and genuine passion to every part of the experience. Rather than simply reciting historical facts, she made ancient Olympia come alive, vividly painting a picture of what life was like thousands of years ago and helping us imagine the athletes, spectators, and traditions that shaped the first Olympic Games. Her enthusiasm for Greek history was contagious, and her archaeological expertise shone through in every story she shared. Beyond her impressive knowledge, Theodora was warm, engaging, and exceptionally kind. She took the time to answer every question thoughtfully, and her stories were both entertaining and informative. We also appreciated her patience and professionalism when delays with cruise ship tenders caused a late start. She remained calm, gracious, and welcoming throughout, never appearing rushed or frustrated despite the circumstances. That level of composure and genuine care made the experience even more enjoyable. The tour itself struck a perfect balance between fascinating history and free time to explore, though visitors should be prepared for a fair amount of walking. If you're looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, passionate, engaging, and truly dedicated to sharing the history of Greece, we cannot recommend Theodora highly enough. She transformed what could have been a stressful day into an unforgettable experience, and we will always remember how she brought ancient Olympia to life.

Guide was really friendly and professional…extremely knowledgeable but kept the communication interesting. Great driver and guide combination too. The tour of the ancient ruins was very hot but we stopped in shaded areas which really helped. Museum tour was also very good and informative. Overall an she was an excellent guide who was always smiling and making the 3 hours enjoyable and educational! Very good & value for money!!! 👏🏛️🇬🇷

I spent the day touring Olympia with Theodora. It was a great trip and super convenient. The bus picked us up right at the port and was very easy to find. We spent the day touring and sightseeing. Theodora is very knowledgeable on archeology as well as the local area. She was a wonderful guide and we enjoyed our day spent there. It was exactly what I hoped for.
