Minivan Tours

In April 2016, I went with my family to Olympia, Greece to see the lighting of the Olympic Torch ceremony.
For this trip I contacted Niki Vlachou of Olympia Tours. Niki arranged a very comfortable Taxi (for transportation) from Athens International Airport to Hotel, in Athens downtown, and round trip from Athens to Olympia and back with Christos who spoke fluent English.
Christos is a very polite gentleman and very knowledgeable in Greek History. During our journey Christos explained some important features of the land and its history. Instead of taking us directly to the hotel (as most taxi drives do), he drove around the city of Athens, showing the important Monuments of the city and explaining their history.
While travelling from Athens to Olympia, Christos showed some ancient sites and explained the significance of each site with lot of patience. Though it was about 4 hours drive we enjoyed every minute of the journey. We were very pleased with his nature and enjoyed his company.
Mrs. Niki Vlachou was our guide in the town Olympia, for "The Archaeological Museum of Olympia and The Archaeological Site”. Mrs. Niki Vlachou explained in detail about the history of the museum and about the artifacts displayed in the museum.
While walking through the Archaeological Site, Niki explained in detail about the salient features of the site, like Temple of Hera, Palaestra, Temple of Zeus, Crypte (Official entrance to the stadium), Ancient Stadium and Pheidias Workshop. She told us about the history of the Olympic Flame. She answered to all the questions I asked with lot patience. We learned from her about Greece which we were unaware of.
Mrs. Niki Vlachou arranged a guide in Athens, Maria for the tour of ancient Agora. She was excellent and her knowledge about the ancient site was remarkable.
Last but not the least I would like to say that our trip to Athens and Olympia, Greece was 100% successful.
For the people who would like to visit Greece for vacation, I strongly recommend "OLYMPIA TOURS".
