Great tour of Greece coastline - What a beautiful trip! Our guide was great…showing us the coastline of Greece and sharing his knowledge of the area. So convenient to be picked up and dropped off right at this crowded magnificent temple. Could customize to stop for a great dinner on the coast if desired. What a great way to see Greece!

Unforgettable experience. Would return to this area in Greece in a heart beat. - The ride to the Temple of Poseidon along the coast line of the Athens Rivera was totally captivating in its scenic beauty. Our driver, Giannis, was the best. Totally profesional, so friendly and willing to share his knowlege of the surroundings. Giannis made us quite comfortable and his recommendation for a seafood dinner on the water truly topped off our most delightful time.

Amazing experience - The tour was amazing. Seeing the temple of Posideion was absolutely amazing and our guide Giannis was very helpful at explaining everything and also helping us take our photos as well. I would definitely recommend the tour and he took us to an amazing family owned seafood place which was so good as well.

Breathtaking views - This was a great way to see Athens on our first day here. Peter was very conversational and gave us great history and insight of the area. Despite the traffic, we arrive to the Cape right on time and was able to get beautiful shots.

Spectacular! Dimitris is an excellent guide! - Our guide, Dimitris, was fantastic! He was very professional and knowledgeable about Athens and the Athens Riviera. He stopped several times along the drive for us to see majestic views! And he dropped us right at the entrance to Poseidon’s temple with plenty of time before sunset. Afterwards, he gave us several recommendations for dinner and took us to the one we chose. AND, when he learned that we were heading to Mykonos next, he sent us several recommendations for restaurants and places to visit on the island. He was wonderful! We highly recommend this experience and especially our driver, Dimitris!

Amazing Driver made great trip - A beautiful view to an amazing piece of history with an amazing and courteous driver to make a great trip! Dimitris was great in communicating before the trip as our pick up location was a little hard to find. He was friendly, funny and knowledgeable about our trip. The Ruins of Poseidon was beautiful and the sunset added a magical touch. Afterwards, Dimitris took us to an amazing local restaurant where we FEASTED! (So much food). It was fantastic. It was a full evening/night starting at 6 pm and getting back to our residence around 11 p.m. Overall a memorable journey!
