Memorable family trip to the Temple of Poseidon with Alexis - "We had an unforgettable private tour to the Temple of Poseidon and Cape Sounio with our fantastic guide and driver Alexis. Not only was he knowledgeable, but his humor and warmth made the experience even more enjoyable. He shared fascinating stories that brought history to life. We drive through the Riviera and many small beach towns. A quick stop at the beautiful Lake Vouliagmeni and then we were ready for the perfect sunset time at the Temple of Poseidon. Alexis treated us to an amazing memorable dinner at a traditional Greek taverna, where they graciously prepared delicious vegetarian meals for us, even around closing time. We now know who to call next time we are in Greece. Traveling to places is all about making memories and we mad a memorable evening thanks to Alexis. Highly recommend this tour and our awesome guide Alexis for a perfect blend of culture, history, culinary delights and picture perfect locations.

Our favourite in Athens - We've used Alex a number of times before and keep coming back because he's the best! Unfortunately this time he was sick but Christos was an excellent substitute. We enjoyed the tour and he took us to the best restaurant for lunch - off the beaten track with delicious and generous servings. Driving was excellent and he was fun and informative. Alex is easy to communicate with, flexible on itineraries and always helpful and kind.

Book a taxi, make a friend! - Our trip to Athens was made many times more awesome because we booked a taxi from Alexis. Not a single dull moment around him. Knowledgeable across not just touristy stuff but in general across a vast genre of things, he was full of rich, fun stories, superb recommendations of places that define the phrase "hidden gems", amazing enthusiasm for clicking pictures(matched mine, and that's saying something) and of course great car and drive. We had booked two day trips, one to delphi and the other to cape sounion and they both were amazing. Alexis goes above and beyond and we are still enjoying his recommendations while on the rest of our trips in completely other islands where there's no commercial arrangement with him- just friendship and a big heart 💕 Totally recommend.

Great Sunset Trip to Temple of Poseidon! - My husband and I had a great trip to Temple of Poseidon with Alexis from Athens Taxi Wagon. Alexis is so knowledgeable. He is very familiar with the sites in Greece. On the way to the Temple, we stopped for a nice dinner in a small village. At the Temple, he told us exactly what to do to maximize our time there. After the Temple closed, he showed us another area on site that we could walk to for a good picture. He never rushed us. I highly recommend using Athens Taxi Wagon and Alexis for any of the tours/services he offers.

Wonderful Visit to Cape Sounio & Temple of Poseidon - Alex was a wonderful guide for our party of four, providing a very comfortable ride and interesting background on the history and traditions of Greece, specifically relating to Athens the area north of of the city. We stopped at sights along the way to the Temple of Poseidon and enjoyed lively conversation as we traveled. Especially interesting and fun were stops at Lake Vouliagmeni, an amazing natural hot springs lake where fresh and sea water mix; and lunch at a local fishing village restaurant. We were fascinated by the beauty and lovely spa facilities at Lake Vouliagmeni and would like to return there for a longer stay. At lunch we sampled regional dishes and excellent fresh fish. A true taste of local taste and color! Alex made certain that we reached the Temple of Poseidon before sunset so we could fully experience the beauty of the ruins and the stunning hilltop location as the sun went down. We returned to our hotel in Athens within the timeframe promised after an amazing afternoon touring the coastline. Thank you, Alex and Athens Taxi Wagon, for a wonderful experience of the culture and beauty of Greece!

Fantastic Tour - Alexis was a fantastic driver and we were entertained, engaged in Greek history and culture, and had the opportunity to experience sights that were off the beaten track. We loved his personality and humour! Alexis was so fantastic we booked him to drive us to the airport when our trip ended. Alexis is now a dear friend and we will keep in touch.
