Tour guide in Olympia Niki V.

Greetings from Ancient Olympia! I would like to invite you to a unique experience in a journey through time at the birth place of the Olympic Games, from when they started, until today. •Would you like a private guided tour of the sanctuary and the archaeological museum of Ancient Olympia? •Would you like to learn facts concerning not only Ancient Olympia and the Peloponnese, but all of Ancient Greece? . Would you like a tour that will also include unique tasting experiences of local delicasies? •Are you on a cruise visiting Katakolon port and want information about the local attractions and transportation options? My name is Niki and since 1997 I am a certified guide for the whole of Greece. I have spend many years travelling with smaller or larger groups of travelers, showing them around the Greek country, sites, museums and other points of interest, helping them get to know my country, off the beaten track. The last decade I also run Niki Olympic Tours, which is a travel company focusing in planning private and tailor made tours all around Greece. I spend my life between Athens and Ancient Olympia. I have dedicated my life to studying Ancient Greeks and the Greek culture. Being a local in Ancient Olympia, but also an official tour guide licensed by the Greek ministry of tourism, I believe gives me an advantage when I will try to convey the Greek spirit. Rick Steves recommends me in his latest edition of Mediterranean Port Guide Katakolon, with whom I have done a lot of filming and travelling around the Peloponeese. In 2012 I was the local expert that BBC used for the live coverage of the lighting of the Olympic flame for the London Olympics. Before you book a tour, if you are intrested in getting to know the area and its history the best and most accurate way possible, make sure you book a certified guide and not just a driver guide. A visit to the sanctuary of Ancient Olympia, the original site of the Olympic Games is a moving experience on its own, I would like to make it unforgettable for you. Let us share the historic heritage of the Ancient Greeks and let the Olympic Spirit guide our path. Since I travel back and forth to Athens, either you would like a tour starting from the port of Piraeus, or a private tour of the beautiful city and monuments of Athens, consider me one of the specialists you should contact. Since 1997 I am an official Greek licensed tour guide. Recommended by Rick Steves and with lots of excellent comments on trip advisor. I have participated in films about Olympia, for Rick Steves Europe, for BBC, the Dutch and french television, etc. I have many years of experience in touring all over Greece and its archaeological sites, with all different types of groups or individuals. Since 2009 I specialize in travel pranning and i run my own company as well, which focuses on offering tours that are unique and off the beaten track. The last few years I am also the official guide the Americal Embassy in Athens uses for showing around all of their official visitors that visit Greece. I certainly still enjoy doing that today as well and I always love getting the chance to customize tours for people who would love to see the best of Greece, in the best and most reliable way. There are actually no restrictions, as long as I have availability. I have the right to guide all over Greece and i certainly enjoy the challenge and the chance I usually get, to not only be in a certain area, but to guide everywhere I am asked to!
