Katakolon to Olympia tour with local guidance at site only and optional extra activity

Welcome to Ancient Olympia — Where History Comes Alive Hello, I’m Niki Vlachou, your private tour guide in Greece. Let me take you on a journey through time — from the sacred grounds where the Olympic Games were born, to the vibrant modern culture that still embodies the Olympic spirit today. Would you like to: • Explore the archaeological site and museum of Ancient Olympia with a certified expert? • Discover the stories and secrets of Ancient Greece, beyond the guidebooks? • Combine your visit with authentic local tasting experiences of Greek delicacies? • Arrive on a cruise to Katakolon and need smooth, reliable arrangements for your visit? Then you’re in the right hands. About Me I have been a licensed tour guide since 1997, certified by the Greek Ministry of Tourism to guide throughout Greece in English, French, and Greek. Over the years, I’ve guided thousands of travelers—families, history lovers, diplomats, and celebrities—across Greece’s most inspiring destinations. I’m proud to be: • Recommended by Rick Steves, with whom I’ve collaborated extensively on his TV shows and guidebooks. • A featured expert on the BBC, including live commentary for the Olympic Flame Lighting Ceremony in 2012. • The official guide of choice for the U.S. Embassy in Athens, entrusted with high-profile visits such as U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt. My work has also been featured in productions by BBC, Arte, and Dutch TV, among others. My Company: Niki Olympic Tours In 2009, I founded Niki Olympic Tours, a licensed travel organization with offices in Athens and Ancient Olympia. Together with my team, I design and operate private, tailor-made tours throughout Greece — from cultural and historical tours to culinary, religious, and off-the-beaten-path adventures. My Promise Greece is a land of myths, light, and endless inspiration. As your guide, my mission is to make your experience educational, effortless, and memorable — always infused with the warmth of Greek hospitality and the authenticity of a local touch. While you’re visiting Olympia I look forward to sharing my country’s stories, flavors, and spirit with you. Let the Olympic Spirit guide our path — together.
