Georgia did an incredible job showing us the ruins of Olympus. She was very fun to talk with and made history come to life. Her expansive knowledge was impressive and we could not have been happier with our afternoon spent with her.

The ruins were pretty ruined. Zoe painted a picture and brought it to life with her stories about Olympia!!! Wouldn’t have been the same without her. She was amazing

Our wonderful guide at Olympia. Very informative and fun to spend our time with. Our guide had a solid foundation of knowledge of Olympia and was able to relate it to us in a very understandable way.

Niki was an excellent guide who made the story of Ancient Olympia come to life. She obviously was quite knowledgeable about the site and added a lot of additional information to her commentary. She related very well to us and had quite a sense of humor.

Visite très agréable du site d'Olympie et de son musée avec Zoé qui est une super guide, passionnée et passionnante qui répondra à toutes vos questions si vous en avez! C'est vraiment un plus d'avoir un guide juste pour nous qui met en contexte tout ce que l'on voit avec les apports culturels concernant le déroulement des jeux Olympiques. Nous n'aurions pas compris et appris autant de choses concernant le site d'Olympie si nous n'avions pas fait cette visite guidée...
