Great experience - Our guide pointed out interesting items along the way to the site. Once we got there, he let us decide how long we stay and allowed us to get lunch at a restaurant on the water.

Temple of Poseidon - The tour started late due to the driver having car trouble. But he texted me to alert me to this and said another driver would pick me up. The other driver, Giannis, arrived about 40 minutes past scheduled start time, and off we went. Car issues happen, and the company handled it very well with minor delay. After that, it was a pleasant ride down the coast with a few quick photo stops. The driver was very knowledgeable on Greek history and mythology, and he provided so much interesting information. Really enjoyed the conversation! Arrived at the Temple of Poseidon around noon, and it was not very busy so able to get nice photos and relax and admire the Temple and area around. Just incredible, and luckily a clear day. Had a quick lunch at the restaurant on site, and it was very good. We also made a quick stop near Lavrio at the site of the oldest Greek outdoor theatre, the Theatre of Thorikos, which was cool to see. Then a pleasant ride back to the hotel in Athens. Overall was an excellent tour and well worth it.

Sunset trip to Temple of Poseidon - A long drive from Athens but a nice break from the city for a half day trip. Definitely do the sunset trip. Beautiful with the Temple of Poseidon in the view. Petros was very informative during the drive, giving us a taste of Greek history.,

Fantastic Tour in Athens - Excellent tour experience with 4 adults and 4 children. John was very patient with our crowd and very informative. This was one of the best tour experiences we have had. The lunch at the end with a sea view topped the day.

A fun day exploring Athens and Cape Sounio - A really fun day with Spyros our driver and guide. He is extremely knowledgable about his city and what’s going on inside it. Spyros has a great sense of humour and we found we had much in common!
