Once in Olympia, the highlights to visit are the Archeological Museum also called the New Museum and the Archeological site.

In the archeological site, among several other remains of important buildings, you will see the gymnasium and the palaestra, the round Philipeion, the workshop of Phidias where the gold and ivory statue of Zeus was built, the temples of Zeus and Hera, the altar where the Olympic torch is being lit in the modern days and the ancient Olympic stadium.

In the archeological museum are housed all finds that were excavated from the archeological site. Bronze and clay offerings (tripods and figurines), armor, vases, the tools and cup from Phidias's workshop, the gorgeous Hermes by Praxiteles, the Nike by Paeonios and the very impressive and very well preserved classical statues from the pediments of the temple of Zeus etc.

This tour is mainly designed for people staying at the hotels in the area. For cruise ship passengers this tour is subject to availability.

Niki gave us a FABULOUS tour of Ancient Olympia and its archaeological museum. Niki is incredibly knowledgeable about the history and the site and she conveyed the information very clearly in excellent English. She is warm, personable and professional. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a trip to Ancient Olympia!
Sotiria is great!

Expeditionary place. We're caught up in greatness and history. For those who say that the site is degraded I find this normal considering the millennia that exist and what humans have done to it during that time. We also see that there are restorations everywhere but it takes time and money. There are also two museums to visit which gives a better understanding of the importance of this place. This site is the cradle of a very important part of human history.

This was a great semi private tour. (Just 16 of us.) Ioanna was superlative! Best tour guide ever. The guides were easy to find as we departed the ship in Katakolon. Then the ride over was perfectly executed with narration. We started with the museum tour, which was very informative. Then we headed out to the archaeological site. Ioanna led us expertly around the site and helped us understand how everything was laid out and the scale of the Olympic site. Then we headed to lunch. The lunch at Touris was phenomenal! Buffet style with endless wine and hospitable touches like an digestif and coffee. Following lunch we had time in the town of Olympia for shopping at the top notch first class souvenir shops. :-) I highly recommend this tour!!!

This was a fantastic tour with Niki. She was extremely knowledgeable and it was a pleasure for us to have her as a guide. She also engaged with a some of our group who have disabilities to ensure that everyone was engaged for the full tour. A great day out. I would highly recommend Niki and her tour to others.
