Highlights

Climbing up you will see and hear explanations about the Filopappos hill, the Herodium odeon, the Dionysius theatre, the Pnyx hill - birthplace of Democracy and the Areopagus hill. Stopping before the Propylaea, you will have an excellent view of the temple of Wingless Nike and the Ancient Agora, where Socrates, Plato and Aristotle introduced great philosophical schools.

Great experience - Thank you Niki and Dimitri for making one of my dream vacations one of the best experiences. Dimitri responded to all of my emails and answered my questions and concerns in a timely manner. We went to 3 different islands and had a great experience on each. We did a walking tour from our hotel in Athens to the Acropolis hill and museum. Viki was a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide who was We learned a lot from her. She even showed us a great place to get a great authentic Greek lunch. We also had a great experience in Santorini with our driver Gabriel. He was also a very friendly and informative tour guide. He took us to all the top sites and showed us a nice place on the beach for lunch. For our stop in Mykonos Carina our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of the island. We saw and learned a lot and had an overall great experience on our vacation. I definitely recommend Olympic tours and will definitely use them again in the future.

Thanks to Olympic Tours by Niki for Memories of a lifetime! - My grandson (14) and I have so many wonderful memories to look back on thanks to Niki and Dimitris at Olympic Tours. In planning our trip, we told Dimitris what we wanted to do while in Greece, and he arranged everything for us. We appreciated him listening and everything was perfect. Dimitris arranged the best of the best as our private driver. Kyriakos. His car was a luxury Mercedes sedan that was immaculate. This was his office and he provided us with bottled water and snacks. We spent two whole days with him driving us to Delphi, Arachova, Ancient Sparta, Ancient Corinth and stopping at the Corinth Canal on the way back to Athens. Kyriakos provided us with informative information as we passed by things. He spoke excellent English. He was excellent in introducing us to our private licensed tour guides in the places that we went. He had all the details worked out as to where and what time to meet the guides. All of our guides spoke very good English. All of the guides were very knowledgeable about the history of the sites we were visiting. We felt like we were stepping back in time with our visits to each site. Our first day in Athens, Dimitris had arranged for Chrysa to meet us first thing in the morning at the Art Gallery Hotel to take us on a 6-hour Walking Tour of Athens (Acropolis Hill, New Acropolis Museum, the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the temple of Athens Nike and Ancient Agora). This was a trip of a lifetime and look forward to visiting Greece again. I would highly recommend Olympic Tours by Niki to anyone that is planning a trip to Greece. Thanks for the Memories!

Awesome day at the Acropolis! - Niki accommodated us for a last minute private tour of the Acropolis. My family of four includes 2 adults, a 12 yr old, and a 16 yr old, and our tour guide kept all of us engaged. Dimitris was very knowledgeable and was able to provide cultural and historical context for all of the sites. He was amazing! Highly recommend a private tour (vs large group tour) of the Acropolis in particular.

Niki can’t be beat! - Niki planned the entire trip itinerary for our weeklong Greek vacation from Athens, to Kalambaka and Meteora, to Delphi, and Olympia. All tours were arranged, expert guides provided, and every need taken care of. She herself was so very friendly and helpful, extremely knowledgeable about the Acropolis and museum in Athens. Not only did we have a great time, we made a new friend. 👍🏻🙂 Can’t wait until we can bring our kids next time!
