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!

Xenofantas was wonderful - This was a wonderful excursion. Xenofontas was wonderful. He was so informative and funny. It was just my husband, me and the guide which was amazing because we could control the pace and what we did. Xenofantas knew hidden places to show us. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone. It was nice to get outside the busy city.

A memorable excursion on the beautiful Athens Rivera. - Theodoras was fantastic very warm, friendly and accommodating and he took good care of our group on our tour. We enjoyed the Lake swimming spot although an expensive add on ticket. We would have preferred a little more time to eat our lunch at Poseidon but Theo was very kind and didn’t rush us. Overall a wonderful tour and one we will remember. Thank you 🙏

A Refreshing and Relaxing Time at Lake Vouliagmeni with Nikos - If you would like to reserve a chaise lounge, then do so prior to your visit. They do have covered seating. Plan to stay for the day. This place has a changing area with showers, a restaurant, and a bar.

Enjoyable but rushed - We had 1hr 30 at the lake and only 45 minutes at the Temple and arrived back in Athens 30 minutes before the scheduled time. Compared to other tours I've been on our driver wasn't much of a tour guide.
