Great Greece Tour - Great attraction to see and the bus was very comfortable. It was a very hot day so the air conditioning was very welcome

Stunning drive to the Temple of Poseidon from Athens - The guide Vicki (Vasilliki) was very knowledgeable about Greek history and kept her commentary going for the whole trip. The grandchildren aged 8 and 5 were able to understand and learn from her stories of Greek mythology, places, food etc.

Poseidon temple visit - Quite a long trip but enlivened by the humour and knowledge of Christina our guide. Well worth the trip. Great historical monument. Could easily see its role.

Sounion & Temple of Poseidon afternoon tour - I had trouble reserving online since the site changed my email and I inserted all the payment info but couldn’t get a confirmation. I wanted to speak or chat with a customer service but that was impossible. I retried making the reservation on the next day with higher prices & I was able to do so. it was initially 39.89 euros for the 2 of us for half day pm tour but it got jacked up to $ 155 for the same tour the next day.

Amazing Temple of Poseidon visit - Temple of Poseidon is an amazing site, with a great view of the sea. Also, weather was sunny and helped a lot the tour. I recommend the experience for visitors with few time available, as is a short tour

Meh - Overall I enjoyed the trip. I really enjoyed Poseidons Temple. The drive along the coast was beautiful. It was three hours or traveling for a 30 minute tour. The bus driver didn’t turn on the air conditioning for about an hour and it was almost 40 c in the bus. It was supposed to be an English tour but it turns out it was a French/ English tour and 90% of the group was French. Nothing wrong with that it was just not explained in the description that it would be a mixed language tour.

Expensive - The trip was well organised, we liked the tour guide, although the constant switch between french and english was beginnig to annoy us. We visited the temple on the 18th od May, which was the national museum day and the Tickets for the temple were therefore free. We did not get a refund for the Tickets, 20 Euros each ticket! I think the price of 65 Euros was too expensive just for the bus ride and the half of hour tour!
