Ancient Olympia Exclusive: Private Luxury Day Tour from Athens

Chris is a god! From the moment I read his first text over breakfast (complete with a selfie) I knew we were in for a brilliant day. Chris is hilarious and has such a wealth of knowledge to share. Chris is such a people person and clearly loves what he does. The conversation flowed so naturally it was like travelling with a longtime friend. We talked about everything and anything, and laughed a lot. We had stops at the Corinth Canal and in Corinth itself to sightsee. We were given as much time as we wanted and told to text him whenever we wanted to be picked up and he would be there ready for us. On the way he even stopped by a local cake shop to pick up some traditional pastries for us to try, which were absolutely delicious! The over 3 hour drive to Ancient Olympia from Athens flew by as we enjoyed the beautiful countryside. Once we arrived we had a tasty snack in the clean and friendly cafe before exploring the 2 museums, then on to the site of the ruins itself. The area is massive, filled with beautiful columns, crumbling buildings and the large running field and stadium. We spent over 2 and a half hours walking around and taking some excellent photos. There were very few people there and it almost felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Then we were picked up by Chris and whisked back to Athens. We had a comfort break on the way back and again Chris surprised us with some snacks for the journey. The vehicle was very comfortable with A/C and plenty of bottled water to combat the heat outside. We were back in Athens and at the doorstep of our hotel before we knew it. It was a fantastic experience and a real highlight of our holiday. Ancient Olympia was something that we were looking forward to seeing but the superstar of the day was Chris, he went above and beyond all expectations and if I could give him more than a 5 star review I would! Absolute legend 😊

Nikos was the best tour guide! We enjoyed our time spent in Olympia! We recommend this tour. Nikos was very knowledgeable and tentative.

Chris was an amazing driver full of history and information, along with Greek mythology stories. We all thoroughly enjoyed his tour!

This is an excellent tour best done 2 days with overnight stay in villa. Visit museum first. Audio tour would be nice

It was great to see the country side of Greece! Our driver gave us very good details about the sites and provided many opportunities for breaks and photo ops!

We had the best time! Panos was the best guide. He was so friendly and knowledgable. He took us to amazing places and knew so much about the history of Corinth. You will not be disappointed!

Niko was amazing! He was an excellent driver, thoughtful commentator, and very timely. Plus—he knows Greek culture! He shared historical, cultural, and biological information with us throughout the trip. He answered our questions and offered many local recommendations. He was caring and extremely respectful. Friendly and gracious—we were so happy to travel with him and wished we had booked all of our trips with him! Beautiful sites, very comfy van—clean and lots of room. We learned so much! Five stars!!!!

My driver Christo was very knowledgeable and really made me feel the luxury in this private tour. Also trust his food options they are great! Also the car had wifi which was helpful for the long ride.

I would recommend this excursion to everyone! My driver Christo was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the history and was able to help me understand and better appreciate the sights.
