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.

Thank you, George, and Sounion 🇬🇷! - George is a man of the people. A conversationalist at heart. He has ample knowledge of Greece's history, culture and coast line. Our family had a great experience enjoying one of the better sunsets the globe has to offer in Sounion.

A perfect spring excursion to the Cape of Sounio and the temple of Poseidon - It was an excellent experience, I was given detailed information about our final destination and also a the sights along the beautiful seaside street: historical, cultural, modern development, culinary insights, etc. The tour was very pleasant, absolutely not exhausting, we had time to stop at some additional places along the road, the car was very comfortable, spacious, perfectly clean! The driver was very professional, easy-going, we had very pleasant conversations and mutual exchange of information.
