A memorable tour of Temple of Poseidon arranged by Greece Athens Taxi - Marina Apostolou from Greece Athens Taxi recommended this half day tour to us on Day 1 of our visit to Athens. We were picked up on time by the driver Spyros in a very nice, clean van. The road journey is very scenic and absolutely memorable. We had ample time at the Temple of Poseidon to hike through the hill and soaked into the breathtaking views of the sea on the 3 sides of the hill before sunset. The sunset from there was very beautiful indeed. While the Temple of Poseidon looks similar to the Acropolis, this place was not as crowded as the Acropolis in Athens (which is also undergoing renovation work). A very worthwhile tour. Spyros was a great company for us on this tour (and on the next day's half day tour of Athens as well). Both Marina and Spyros have been instrumental in leaving very good memories in our hearts of Greece and its people.

Perfection! - Loved our late afternoon tour of the Athens Riviera with Andreas! Although the weather was kinda rough (the wind…OMG!) It was a great start to the second leg of our Greece trip based in Vouigi. Andreas was warm, open, a great/safe driver and a wealth of wonderful information about the area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great driver, great views! Great evening - Beautiful views, well worth the drive, especially if you go during sunset. The sunset tour will get you home late and there is only snacks at the destination, so plan food accordingly! Our driver was wonderful!

1/2 day tour Poseidon temple - This company was excellent. The tour with Kostas was wonderful. We felt safe and he even took us to a couple of unexpected places which we would have totally missed - what a great surprise. Marina was completely communicative and everything went smoothly and on time. I would totally recommend them and will definitely use them again.

Great experience - ask for Andreas! - Mariana communicated with us in advance which was very nice so we were certain we were on track for our tour. Our guide, Andreas was timely, very friendly and so knowledgeable. We had a marvelous time. Make sure to grab a quick bite at the cafe before going to Poseidon's temple to watch the sunset from there. Highly recommended :)

Trip to the Temple of Poseidon - Andreas collected us from our Hotel in Athens and took us to the Temple of Poseidon to enjoy the sunset. Along the way he pointed out various landmarks and things of interest in excellent English. His car was excellent as was his driving which all made for a very enjoyable evening. Praise should also go to the office staff who kept us informed of the trip details and even suggested a slightly later start time due to the hot weather.

Beautivew view - Spyros was on time, very friendly, and knowledgeable. We had a private group, and he made accommodations based on our requests. We liked the ease and comfort of the private van vs the many buses we saw at the Temple. The sunset did not disappoint!
