We had a wonderful experience on our Katakolon/Olympia tour, and our guide Dora truly made the day special. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much history and context about the area, which made visiting Olympia even more meaningful. Dora was also very mindful of our timing and made sure the day flowed smoothly without ever feeling rushed. We always felt like we were in great hands. What stood out most was her kindness and attentiveness to our mom. The archaeological site has uneven terrain, and our mom wasn’t able to comfortably walk through it. Dora stayed back with her and kept her company while the rest of us explored, which meant so much to our family. That level of care and thoughtfulness is something we will always remember. It was such a fun and interesting day, and we really enjoyed spending time with a local, experienced guide who clearly loves what she does. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Katakolon.

Hello, my name is Theodora and I was born and lived my early childhood in Melbourne, Australia. I come from a family involved in the tourism industry for more than 3 decades and that's why I decided to follow in my father's footsteps. I have been inspired by him and I have gained lots of experience which has helped me to organize my own tours. Since 2015 I have been guiding travellers who come especially to Southwestern Peloponnese and want to explore the beauties of the area. I speak English and Greek fluently and I have a great knowledge of the area so travellers will gain a local insight. My priority as Theodora is to provide all my guests not only with high-quality services but also memorable experiences. My tours are customized according to my guests' needs and preferences. My passion and energy are what I want to share with you! My friendly and kind personality will make you feel the Greek hospitality! I will always be at your disposal if you need anything as I will be your driver-guide! It would be my pleasure to guide you and experience what Greece has to offer! I bring nearly nine years of experience in the tourism industry, fueled by a genuine passion for the field. My commitment to excellence has been recognized in marketplaces online, acknowledging my dedication to delivering exceptional tours and providing insightful experiences for travelers in the area. I am not allowed to guide you inside the archaeological site and museum of Olympia as I am not a licensed guide.

Dora was an excellent tour guide. Our group had a great day. Full of history and local food. Would highly recommend Dora and her tour.
Dora was lovely and charming. Her knowledge was exceptional. We had a wonderful day touring and trying olive oil.
We were thrilled with our guide. She accommodated every one of our strange requests (one of us was recovering from an injury and had some mobility issues).
We had a great tour with Theodora, she was so knowledgeable and very personable. We made some great memories and I would highly recommend her!
Theodora was kind, thoughtful and well prepared. Could have been a little more helpful actually walking with us around the site.
