- Aggelopoulos Family
Our tour with Michael Papamichail, a licensed guide and an active archaeologist working for the Greek Ministry of Culture, was outstanding. In Olympia, he combined his deep expertise with clear, engaging explanations that brought the ancient site to life. Polite, thoughtful, and exceptionally knowledgeable, Michalis made the experience truly memorable!! Thank you Michalis!!!
