All was a great experience - Had a very lovely experience with our guide Theo. He suggested an authentic Greek restaurant for foods we haven’t tried before; we were very full by the time we had finished our meal. The red mullet my husband had was very fresh & tasty. The ice cream was also lovely.
The lake experience was really good. Theo had warned us of the little fish that nibbles at your feet. They tickle a lot but no where near to be afraid of.
Theo took us to areas for photo opportunities & also took some of us as a family.
Altogether it was a lovely experience & great to go early as the lake gets busy the later you go & there’s limited spaces for seating so the earlier the better.

One of the highlights of our trip - The timing was perfect for each location, not too long not too short. Our driver Nathan was great, gave us a lot of info along the way. And the restaurant was great he had taken us to at the base of Poseidons temple

Wonderful experience with a local guide! - We really enjoyed our day with Giorgos! He was prompt in picking us up, a safe driver, and very informative on the drive. The visit to the "thermal" pool was fun and relaxing (although not warm like I would have thought). We saw the sunset at Poseidon's Temple and it was spectacular. On the way back we made an impromptu stop for gelato, which was a nice surprise. I recommend this tour if you prefer private personalized experiences with a local guide!

Great Experience. - My wife and I went on the last day of our honeymoon.
Nick was an excellent driver and was very knowledgeable about the area and the history behind monuments, building, etc.
We had a great time. The mineral spa was a very refreshing stop. He supplied us with water afterwards. Then we went to the temple and got lunch afterwards. Great conversation along the way. I learned a lot about the area. We also got a box of treats as we departed for the day.

Well organised trip. - Very well informed and knowledgeable person as guide and he was excellent driver too.
It was very good experience in lake which is very well managed.
Temple of Poseidon was impressive, however spent lesser time due to the very sunny noon period.

Amazing tour and highly recommend! - Amazing private tour! Highly recommend! Nick my tour guide was amazing, professional and knowledgeable. The lake was wonderful and my favorite place by far! So relaxing! We went early so it was not packed at all and don’t need to spend money on the private area because plenty of lounge chairs. It’s only 17 euro to go in on a weekday. I would definitely come back to this place next time and stay longer to take advantage of the spa services. The tour was enough time to experience the lake. Then the Temple of Poisedon was further out but worth to see especially the view from top. It’s only 10 euros to get in. Nick was very accommodating and found a seafood restaurant for me by the port and it was amazing food. Fresh and prices were not bad at all. Then we stopped by to get a gelato at this wonderful spot before dropping me back off my hotel. Overall I am satisfied customer with this tour. Thank you!

Perfect relaxing day to end our Athens vacation! - We had a phenomenal experience from the moment our driver, Giorgos, picked us up. He was kind and a pleasure to get to know. The car was very clean and beautiful, and he was attentive to our needs the entire day. He was so knowledgeable, sharing stories and facts about the areas we toured without sharing too much. The lake was relaxing and the fishy pedicure was definitely a unique experience. Poseidon had breathtaking views.
Giorgos also gave us a tasty greek treat at the end of our day which was delicious and so very thoughtful. Overall, the experience was 10/10 and I would recommend Giogos 100%.

Wonderful tour - This was exactly as described and made for a fantastic half day excursion out of Athens.
Our driver was a young, friendly, enthusiastic, and passionate man who had a deep knowledge of the area, its history, and its myths and legends.
It is a bit on the pricier side, (it is a private tour after all) and doesn't include entry to the lake, the temple, nor covers lunch. So expect an additional cost of around €35-50 per person.
But the locations are extraordinary and with it only being a half day, allows for more adventures upon arriving back in Athens.
