So much more than a tour of Olympia! - What a wonderful day we had! Can’t wait to visit Greece again! As a family we agreed this was our favorite day. Zoe & our driver met us at our ship. She had a sign with our name on it making it easy to find her. Our family our 14 climbed on board and got seated in a clean & newer Mercedes van. Little did we know that Zoe is a archeologist & we were in for a treat! As we began driving she shared some of Greece’s history pointing out land marks along the way. We were able to interact/ask questions & she answered them all. As we entered the grounds of Ancient Olympia she explained everything we walked past & allowed us to take our pictures. She was so friendly & informative. Next we went through the museum & again we paused at the artifacts and she explained everything to us. We were able to get souvenirs in the shop before getting back on our van. Our last stop was a lovely shop where we were greeted with treats & wine before being driven back to our ship. Zoe is a gem and we won’t be using any other tour guide when our family decides to revisit! Thank you Zoe! Aurora & family

Olympia and Athens small group tour - Our extended family of seven ranged from 11 to 82 years old and we all loved both of our small group tours of ancient Olympia & museum with Zoe and the Acropolis & museum with Demetrius. I cannot stress enough the value of the small group tour. Both Zoe and Demetrius quickly figured out that our youngest knows his ancient Greek history and valued his comments and questions. They did the same for my 82-year-old father. This ability to interact because of the small numbers creates a wonderful dynamic and made a lasting impression on us all.
