Wonderful tour experience with outstanding tour guide! - This was a wonderful tour experience! Prompt pickup with good directions to the meeting point, comfortable air-conditioned tour bus (with WiFi!) and an outstanding and knowledgeable Greek tour guide, Sevi! The only thing that could be improved is that it could be slightly shorter, even by 30 minutes. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens.

Amazing experience! - Amazing experience! Highly recommend. No real time to eat (20 mins before getting back on the bus) so eat right before leaving or plan for a late dinner. Tour was very informative, Ioulia, our guide was friendly, helpful, and highly knowledgable. Teenage daughter really enjoyed it. You will have to wait in line to buy the tickets to enter the site itself.

Temple of Poseidon Tour - Beautiful tur with audio guide from Athens to the Temple and spectacular sunset views. As soon as I arrived I refreshed myself with a nice bath, going down a path on the left and not suitable for everyone, the cost of the tour is good but in addition, apart, there is the ticket to climb up to where there is, precisely the Temple of Poseidon. No use taking the tour if you don't want to see the site and watch the sunset.

Sunset tour - Great sunset tour. Plenty of time to enjoy the sunset and take pictures, not rushed at all. It is a really beautiful place and easy to get to with a tour like this. Bus was comfortable and timely. Thanks so much!

Take the trip! - This trip was amazing! Great and informative guide, very kind and knowledgeable, the sunset was absolutely amazing. Would recommend to anyone—all you have to do to get to the meeting point is take the Athens metro, which is extremely easy to navigate, and very low cost. All signs are in Greek & English, one of the easiest metros I’ve ever taken.

We didn't know what to... - We didn't know what to expect with this tour, except seeing a sunset. We were blown away with the beauty of this experience. You also get a short stop at an ancient theater with amazing views. It was nice to be able to buy a few drinks and snacks while up at the Temple also.

Confusing address for meeting point - Not being Greek, the address was confusing. I had used uber several times in Athens with good results. All those times I used just the street address. The address they gave had the street address twice, then some other name. I only used the street address and was dropped off in a some neighborhood by an impatient uber driver.

Dissatisfied Tourists - When my Grandmother and Sister made reservations for tour, although the website stated that the drop off would be a different location. The website did not specify that those tourist whom choose to drive and park would not be returned by bus to the original pick-up spot. My family and I came from America and my grandmother is handicap. My grandmother made the reservation and put in the notes that she would need special accommodations. There was no accommodations provided to us. In the future my request would be that you specify that whomever chooses to take and pay for the tour, you will either need to ride share in or take the metro line. I was happy with the tour but was frustrated about the lack of concern and the dismissive attitude when it came to my elderly grandmother.
