Incredible, bucket list, authentic - The experience was amazing! Panos was very knowledgeable about both the history and mythology. I had 2 daughters with me, 8 yo and 12 yo. He was able to keep them engaged. Of course the temple of Poseidon was an incredible site that was a must-see after the acropolis. On the way back he stopped at one of the villages and we had an amazing authentic Greek dinner at a restaurant on the sea with the waves lapping at the ground about 2 meters from my toes. This was our second tour with Panos and he takes extra time to get to know you and connect with you!

Fantastic Tour & Guide - Great trip. Terry was our driver and knows a ton about Greek history and the history of the area & temple specifically. He was very accommodating and made the tour very relaxing. We got lucky and had the temple to ourselves, it’s a very beautiful area and cool to see. As is the lake we stopped at on the way. When we come back to Greece there are other tours I want to do and we’ll be requesting Terry for them.

Perfect way to end the day - This was a pleasant half day tour with amazing views of the coast along the way. Our driver, Manos, was a great host and made sure we stayed ahead of the crowds every step of the way. The Temple of Poseidon is a beautiful sight and being there as the sun set was beyond peaceful.
