Don't miss this. - This is a fantastic tour. Just go hungry. The food you will try is amazing. The dinner was so good. I over ordered (don't do that). Fotis is charming and knowledgeable and you feel like friends by end of Tour. Out of all the 10 days and multiple tours this was the best one.

10/10 can recommend - The whole afternoon and evening was a delight; our guide and driver Eric was excellent company and eager to make sure we were all enjoying ourselves. We stopped for coffee on the way to Cape Sounion and for a swim at a beach club (changing facilities available) before stopping at the Temple of Poseidon for the sunset views. Then it was off to a nearby taverna for a low cost but delightful dinner before the drive back to our Athens hotel. A fabulous afternoon and evening in delightful company. p.s. as a singer, Eric is an excellent driver 🤘

Great Small Group Tour! - This was an exceptional small-group experience and far superior to the bus tours we’ve taken in the past, which often feel rushed. The intimate setting allowed for a much more relaxed pace and a truly memorable evening. Our guide, Konstantinos, was outstanding—warm, personable, and knowledgeable. He made everyone feel welcome and ensured we had the best possible experience. One of the highlights of the small group format was being able to visit locations that larger bus tours simply cannot access. The Temple of Poseidon was breathtaking, and the opportunity to swim in the Aegean Sea at a secluded beach made the evening even more special. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience in Greece.

Wonderful Tour - We had an amazing time with Fotis our new Greek friend! Started off the trip with yummy local pastries! The drive and swim in the Athens Riviera was relaxing! Took some stunning pictures. The Temple of Poseidon at sunset was breathtaking the entire trip was timed perfectly! Then Fotis invited us to a restaurant with very reasonable prices for absolutely delicious food and wonderful company! One of the best tours we have been on!

Temple of Poseidon Visit - My girlfriend and I went on this excursion with Eric. He was truly wonderful. He stopped at a variety of local spots and educated us on the history of Greece. He was humerus and very insightful. The trip brought us breathtaking views and provided us with amazing Greek cuisine. Eric is provided us with one of our favorite days in Greece. We would highly recommend Eric and this day trip.

A memorable day with a fantastic guide - We ended up being the only two on our tour — not something we’d planned, but it made the experience feel extra special. Eric was a fantastic guide: warm, knowledgeable, and brilliant with my 12-year-old. He kept us both engaged throughout, mixing stories, history, and easygoing conversation. The swimming stop was stunning, the food was one of the best meals we had in Greece, and the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio was unforgettable. A real highlight of our trip. Thank you, Eric — we won’t forget it.

One of a kind Experience! - If you're looking to see Hellas (Greece) from the perspective of a local, with incredible knowledge and a passion for their home, look no further. From the moment Fotis picked us up from our hotel, we were met with kindness and endless hospitality. The itinerary was perfect and Fotis never made us feel rushed, in fact he enjoyed sharing the slowed lifestyle of the coast with his guests. We learned so much about the history of the country and culture. This is the perfect day trip from Athens and would be a missing piece of the puzzle if you don't go! Between the coffee, refreshing swim, picturesque and historic sunset location, and the perfect dinner, the evening couldn't have been better. We will always treasure this experience and couldn't recommend this trip more!!

A passionate guide and an unforgettable evening at the Temple of Poseidon 🌅 - Konstantinos pours his whole heart into the experience, which made this tour truly memorable! He’s energetic, engaging, and genuinely wants everyone to have a beautiful time. You can tell he takes great pride in his country and all that he offers, going above and beyond to make it special. The drive along the Athenian Riviera was gorgeous, and we stopped for coffee and sweets in his hometown, a personal touch that made the journey feel even more authentic. The Temple of Poseidon at sunset is undoubtedly the highlight of the tour… so magnificent in its presence with breathtaking views of the cape, the golden light of the sunset, and the incredible energy radiating from the ancient majestic columns dedicated to the God of the Sea ~ Pure Magic! Afterward, we went to a locals restaurant for dinner and stayed well beyond the planned itinerary. It’s rare to meet a guide so devoted to making sure everyone is seen, included and cared for. If you’re looking for a passionate and enthusiastic guide who treats his guests like honored friends, and teaches you so much about Greek history, customs, laws and even current affairs, Konstantinos is your man! If you’re in Athens, this is a MUST while you’re there ♡

Will NOT pickup at Cruise Port! - Booked this tour as a Shore Excursion with pickup and drop off at the Piraeus Port. The day before the tour the tour operator contacted me and asked if he could pick us up at "Piraeus Tower". After asking the question about the distance from the cruise terminal to the Piraeus Tower the operator stated that he would just pick us up at the cruise port as we originally requested and that we would be the only two on the tour. After we got off the ship to be picked up the operator called several times and said he was unable to locate us and then said he would not be able to get through the port gate to pick us up. I decided to ask him just to cancel this tour and give us a refund. He said it would be no problem but would have to talk to his boss. After several hours with no response I contacted Viator and explained the situation to which they reviewed and shortly refunded the tour cost.
