5.00Our guide, Sotiria, was absolutely fantastic! She led us first through the Olympic ruins. She took her time, thoroughly explaining everything in detail and answering our many questions with ease. Her historical knowledge was very impressive. She then led us through the museum, relating everything we were seeing to where it would have been located in the ruins. We learned so much more than we ever would have by listening to a recorded audio tour or touring on our own. I highly recommend getting a guide through this service and requesting Sotiria!
A fantastic guide in Olympia!
