Great 5 hr sunset trip - Booking, contact and timings were all good. Our guide Danaë was very informative and amusing with a good personality. Thanks to her, we learnt a lot about Greek myths on the journey. The lake and beach stops were nice despite the wind. The sunset was awesome and the temple of Poseidon worthwhile. Happy to recommend.

Great experience - This was very good! A minivan came to pick me up at my hotel and the group was small and cozy. We had a great tour guide, knowledgeable and kind. The temple at sunset was amazing. I’m very satisfied with this trip.

Beautiful tour with coastal views and history - We chose the sunset tour and, while the clouds didn’t cooperate, it was still well worth it. Pros: Our guide Faii was wonderful, very patient and informative. The little beach bar stop was delightful. Best of all was the view from the Cape. Cons: We were among the last picked up, and didn’t get to sit together on the van. There were at least two hundred people at the Temple, and there was some confusion with everyone trying to board their buses/vans all at the same time when the area closed, so we didn’t get back to our hotel until after 10 pm (total tour time was six hours). Still, a fascinating experience!

Nice tour guide - Your temple of Poseidon tickets are not included. If you are staying by the port they will not pick you up you have to make arrangements for a pickup somewhere else and the bus was quite crowded. We didn’t get to experience the whole sunset, just the very beginning which was disappointing. Otherwise, Stefanie was very nice and had some information to give about Greek history.

Temple of Poseidon - the best - A very enjoyable time with Theo as our guide (5 star). Van was full which was fine, but the driver was slightly shaky, resulting in a mildly uncomfortable trip and a couple of missed turns. The commentary was first rate and the stops along the way were good. Not at all concerned by the sunset as the whole point was to visit Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon.
