Great tour!!! - We recently booked this to Sounio and it was one of the most beautiful experiences you can have near Athens. The drive along the Athenian Riviera was stunning, with amazing sea views almost the entire way and plenty of great spots for photos. The Temple of Poseidon at Sounio is truly impressive, and if you go at sunset, the view is absolutely magical. The driver was very friendly and shared interesting information about the history and mythology of the area without making it tiring or boring ,also he was very professional and friendly and made the whole experience feel comfortable and relaxing from the beginning. The car was very clean and comfortable, which made the long coastal drive even more enjoyable. The tour was very well organized,and we had enough free time to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the site. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens.

The Temple of Poesidon adventure - Service was exceptional, from the moment we booked we were in constant contact with updates and instruction on pick-up points. We were picked up in a nicely appointed vehicle our driver, Harry, provided us with refreshments and snacks. On the journey to The Temple of Poesidon, Harry kept us entertained with a plethora of information. His enthusiasm and knowledge was second to none, assisting and advising on best photographic vantage points and camera settings Made our journey a most enjoyable one Highly recommend this tour and driver.
