Do you wish to explore the site that gave birth to the Olympics with a local expert and a field archaeologist? Then the ancient Olympia private tour is the ideal tour for you and your family! Ancient Olympia is the perfect destination for everyone, whether you enjoy ancient history or love the Olympics! However, visiting the Olympic site without a tour guide can be sometimes chaotic due to its size. This exclusive 2-hour private tour will take you to the Olympic site, the playground of the Gods, and the only place where the Olympic flame is lit for each Olympiad. Together, we will unfold the secrets of this UNESCO monument and share exciting stories of my time in Olympia as an archaeologist. What my travelers enjoy most about this tour is the opportunity to experience the site from the inside! Tour Highlights: •The training facilities •The Phidias' workshop where it stood the gold and ivory statue of Zeus •Hera's temple where the Olympic torch ceremony is hosted •The Original Olympic stadium!
-We may meet at the parking lot of the Olympic site or I can pick you up from your hotel (If you stay in one of the hotels of Ancient Olympia village). -Once at the Olympic site, you need not worry about waiting in line as this is a SKIP-THE-LINE private tour. -Explore the Olympic site accompanied by an expert local tourist guide/archaeologist. -After, the end of the tour, I will give you all the required information to visit the nearby Archaeological Museum at your own leisure - A 5-minute walk will bring you to the treasures of the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Olympia. It houses the antiquities from the site excavations, such as the Hermes of Praxiteles statue, the statue of Nike, and the Pediments of the Temple of Zeus. Everything is ORIGINAL!
