Fab excursion to Sounion. - Amazing bus/tour ride along the Greek coast down to Sounion to see the Temple of Poseidon. The tour guide was fantastic, the bus driver was skilled and navigated the tour bus, professionally, and without incident. The bus itself was modern and beyond comfortable. It provided us exactly what we were looking for!

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.

All right. - It is a very beautiful excursion but I think there is a little more time missing there, as the travel time is relatively long. Very good guide.

The Sea is the Star - The scenic route was gorgeous, the lake, the sea, the water, wow! Air conditioned and comfortable ride. Be ready for the twist and turns though. It’s a little daunting seeing the sea so close to those turns. The guide was great! I was a little concerned based on the reviews but it was well worth the trip.

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.
