This tour with Elena and Despena was our favorite tour of Greece. Elena met us at the port and took us by taxi to the Olympia museum and we were the first ones there. So awesome. We toured the Olympic Games site and she made me an olive wreath crown to wear. We then met up with her sister Despena who took us to a beautiful old monastery where nuns now live in the hills of olympia. It was beautiful. We are overlooking a gorgeous beach and had a wonderful relaxing lunch. We highly recommend taking this tour and skipping the ship tours.

Elena was a very knowledgeable guide who shared great information with us at both the Olympic sight and the museum. The timing at both places was great and she was patient with our questions. When we mentioned our special interest in learning the sculpting techniques, she took us to a nearby sculptor’s workshop (Smili) for us to visit how ancient sculpting techniques are practiced. It was an enjoyable half day and we highly recommend her!
