Very enjoyable trip to the Temple of Poseidon. - Our tour guide .Niko, was very knowledgeable, accommodating and personable. The scenery from Athens to the Temple of Poseidon was beautiful and the vehicle was a comfortable ride for a party of six. Niko took us to a wonderful seafood restaurant with authentic Greek cuisine. It was an extremely enjoyable adventure.

Wonderful experience - Really enjoyed our trip with George! He shared a lot of interesting details about the temple and other areas we were passing and was willing to chat about life in Greece. He was a safe driver and had a very clean car. The temple at sunset was beautiful!

George was a great travel guide - George is an excellent travel guide! He arrived on time in his clean, comfortable automobile, and drove us along the Greek coastline known as the Greek Riviera to the southern tip of Sunion, Temple of Poseidon. He was pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable. This experience was well worth it and we recommend it to all travelers.

Thanasis is a gem! - Our driver, Thanasis was a gem. Probably the best tour guide my wife and I have ever had in our 43 years of traveling together. Knowledgable, attentive, and kind. My wife left her phone in the car and he drove back, in heavy traffic, to our hotel. He declined an extra tip and said “ it was part of his service”.

Great trip - We enjoyed the transfer with a private driver from Athens to the Temple of Poseidon. The scenic route was beautiful. Nico was our driver and he was great! We also stopped for dinner with fresh seafood after visiting the temple and it was great.

Don’t Miss This Tour - Leisurely drive down the coast, lots of information along the way. Appropriate amount of time at the Temple with time to enjoy a drink at the cafe. On the way home, stopped at a beachfront seafood rustic restaurant for fabulous grilled fresh snapper. Overall a wonderful experience!
