Niki absolutely saved the day for us, managing to get even my less than enthusiastic preteen to engage and shed her morning grumpiness. Niki knows how to talk to all ages. She was a friendly peer to my husband and I, and as a mom, really knows how to engage with children. After many tours, this was by far our best one. Olympia was a surprise family favorite! We learned quite a lot with Niki, but most importantly had fun! PS - She recommends that you go early and you absolutely want to do this to avoid the cruise ship crowds.

Our wonderful guide at Olympia. Very informative and fun to spend our time with. Our guide had a solid foundation of knowledge of Olympia and was able to relate it to us in a very understandable way.

Niki was an excellent guide who made the story of Ancient Olympia come to life. She obviously was quite knowledgeable about the site and added a lot of additional information to her commentary. She related very well to us and had quite a sense of humor.
