Still worth it. - Our guide Nikos was wonderful. It was a cold, windy, and gray day but we still had a good day and a WONDERFUL lunch at a restaurant Nikos suggested. The sights we awe inspiring. It was unfortunate we could not enjoy them more because of the weather.

Amazing trip with an amazing tour guide! - What an amazing day Bart and I have had, with many special thanks to our tour guide Thodoris! He knows Athens and the surrounding area very well and told us a lot about it. We arrived at Limni Vouliagmenis at exactly the right time (just before it got a bit busier), where we enjoyed a lovely swim and a cappuccino before continuing on to the impressive Temple of Poseidon. Moreover, he provided excellent service. Communication was very smooth and there was room for personal requests. For instance, he took us to a beautiful lunch spot, Akrogiali, where we were served the freshest fish ever with a fantastic local wine! Thodoris speaks good English, is very caring, and has a great sense of humor. In short: highly recommended!

Lovely swim and views - We really enjoyed Lake Vouliagmeni. The weather was a bit chilly due to a storm from Africa, so the water was 19°C, but we still swam and enjoyed the experience. Our driver then took us to a lovely traditional restaurant by the coast with great food.
After that, we visited the Temple of Poseidon, which was beautiful with amazing views. The driver was kind and helpful, though he didn’t provide much information, so it was more like having a driver than a guided tour.

Excellent day out in December - Great day out once youve run out of churches to see in Athens. Lake wasnt busy in December as expected, water was a bit chilly ! Temple was ok and a bit expensive for what there is. The guide Thodoris was excellent. Punctual & very professional. Vehicle was very clean. Even managed to keep his cool when two rude guests were 25minutes late returning to the vehicle at the temple. Definitely worth the money.

Unique Tour of Greek Coastline - We did this trip with a family of 4 and loved it. Our tour guide George was fantastic. He picked us up at our hotel and took us to Lake Vouliagmeni before the crowds started to arrive, where we spent a few hours swimming the "still chilly" thermal spa. The lake itself was very scenic and nice just to relax with the family after our swim. He gave us a choice of seafood or Greek for lunch so he left us at a Greek restaurant which was included, near the lake and had a wonderful authentic lunch. After eating too much we headed to the Temple of Poseidon which we didn't expect to be as spectacular as it was. We were there for about an hour and left just as the buses started to arrive for sunset so were able to get plenty of pictures without any crowds. We were back in Athens by 6:00 and dealing with some traffic but George was extremely friendly and gave a great deal of insight into life in Greece and how things have evolved during his life there which was very interesting. Our 30-year-old kids were even engaged asking him all types of questions so it turned out to be a great day. The drive along the coast was beautiful, similar to the Pacific Coast drive and he stopped for pictures anytime we asked. There as a fee for both stops that we had to pay, which wasn't that big of a deal as the tour price was a little less than we expected.

Road trip to a great location - We had an amazing tour to Cape Sounion and Lake Vouliagmeni with our guide, Petros. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience unforgettable. Petros explained everything in detail, shared interesting stories about Greek history and mythology, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. Thanks to him, we truly enjoyed every moment of the tour. Highly recommended!
