Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Elena is a must!
Sep 2023 • Family
Wow. Elena (from Olympia Insiders) was our guide and there's not enough room to write why she made this so meaningful and great for us. Her passion, education and personality made it magical to understand the depth of discovery, wonder and history for the birthplace of Olympic games and Grecian art, sculptures, practices. This, along with Delphi, were the two most enthralling of the ancient tours. There was so much to see and witness in every direction and the museums are world-class. We used KimKim as our travel agency and were blessed to have Elena linked to us. My wife and I cannot thank you enough.

Wonderful!
Jun 2023 • Family
Elena was a wonderful tour guide. She was very patient with all of our questions and kept both of my teen girls interested through your the whole tour. She was very knowledgeable about history of the area and of Greece history in general. Really helped us understand the influence of Olympia on Greek culture and how this has in kind influenced our world as we know it today. Can’t speak highly enough!

Amazing sharing of knowledge AND passion at Olympia
Jun 2023
WOW!!! I love private tours, but Elena has set the bar extremely high. Her breadth of knowledge, almost overwhelming at times, was amazing. While moving about the archeological site, the conversation kept moving, and you could feel her passion for Ancient Greek history everywhere we stepped. Even with what looking back might have been a dumb question on my part, she just rolled with it, and educated me on everything Olympia. I am grateful that my tour company contacted her, they said she was the best, and I don’t know how they could possibly be wrong because she is amazing.

An amazing tour of Ancient Olympia with Elena
Sep 2022
I took a tour of Ancient Olympia on Thursday Sept 8. I was surprised and thrilled with our guide Elena. She was so engaging and so informative! She had so much information to impart and she did so in a way which held my attention completely for the two and a half hours we were together. She knew her history and shared it in an enthusiastic and dynamic way which held our attention completely through the ruins and then the museum. I found myself wishing i could have a whole tour of Greece with her.

Unforgettable tour to ancient Olympia
Sep 2022
A private tour of Olympia with Elena Aggeli is an unforgettable treat. With her experience, wealth of knowledge, very warm and friendly demeanor she is able to transport you in time and make you feel a part of this historical place! After spending a couple of hours with her during the visit of the archeological site and the museums you leave with a better understanding of the Olympic spirit, the philosophy of sports, religion and politics in antiquity. She is a gifted and enthusiastic story teller and you can easily appreciate her dedication to her profession.

Perfect 1 hour condensed tour with Elena
Jul 2022 • Family
We had a 1 hour condensed private tour with Elena at the ancient archaeological site of Olympia. She is very knowledgeable and provided us many history and background of what we were seeing. Elena was able to keep my young daughter engaged and she also made my daughter an olive wreath to end the tour. I would highly recommend Elena.

Cool and interesting guided tour for our whole family
Jul 2022 • Family
Elena explained intersting facts very insightful while easy to understand. She gave us time to translate to German for our smallest and we never had the feeling of being in a rush even if it was already late. We were trying out olympic disciplines with her what made her guidance an entertaining one. She literally revived ancient Olympia for us and our four kids. We enjoyed the tour a lot!

Ten star tour
Jul 2022 • Couples
Elena is fantastic. Period. Knowledgeable, articulate, warm and engaging She brought the Olympic site and the museum to life We could
feel the energy as she showed and gave detailed descriptions of the historic setting, the games, the religion and the athletes. We added on the museum part which we highly recommend as the relics which you can imagine as you walk the site are crystallized in seeing original relics, models and incredible sculptures that are in stellar condition
