Amazing view, excellent service - Excellent tour! We went on the sunset tour and even though it was cold, it was worth it. Our tour guide Eliana was excellent and our driver Periklis was a great driver. It was easy to navigate the meeting point, we were picked up on time and we had a friendly welcome. Highly recommended 👌

Beautiful history and scenery - Definitely worth seeing if you come to Athens. Quick little tour to the cape, stop off at lake vouliagmeni, tour guide was great giving us facts on the way down. Plenty of free time to explore the cape and the temple, even in cloudy February the sunset was still amazing.

Must see! - We had an amazing experience on this tour to the Temple of Poseidon! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, making for a smooth and enjoyable trip. Our guide, Katherina, was absolutely wonderful—so sweet, knowledgeable, and full of great recommendations. She made the journey even more engaging with interesting stories and insights along the way. The ride itself was comfortable and entertaining, with a couple of scenic stops that added to the experience. And, of course, the Temple of Poseidon was truly impressive—standing atop the cliffs with breathtaking views of the sea. It’s definitely a must-see!

Fun and recommended tour. - Very nice tour. The guide was entertaining and knowlegeable. It is about one hour trip, but it does not feel long due to all the histories and information given. Interaction with the guests was fun, making the experience enjoyable. The temple of poseidon was very impresive, and since the visit is at sunset, quite beautiful.

An excellent afternoon - Excellent informative and personable guide. Considering the unseasonably cold weather, the final destination (Cape Sounion) was well worth the trip.

Brilliant trip - Really enjoyed this tour. Georgia, our tour guide, shared lots of information which was really interesting. The Athens coastline is beautiful and Poseidon's temple was magnificent, although we didn't get the sunset we were hoping for!
