Unforgettable sundown at the Temple of Poseidon - This is a super nice tour from Athens along the beautiful shoreline, allowing for some stunning views of the coast. The highlight is the Temple of Poseidon, which - if visited late in the day - has one of the most magical sun sets I have ever seen. My driver, Fotis, was super friendly and professional and, additionally, gave me lots of tips about things to see in Athens. I highly recommended this trip.

One of our best tours in Athens! - Costa was an excellent tour guide and shared information on all the Greek gods and the different tier of gods such as the Titans and the Olympians. He was very gracious and very accommodating and would highly recommend him to anybody..

Absolute must-do, excellent tour! - We did a few tours in Athens and this was by far the one we enjoyed most. Our guide Alexandro was outstanding. The ride to Sounio takes about 2 hours and he kept a steady conversation on interesting topics about Greece, Greek history and the geography we were driving past (along the coast). The tour as itself is worth it, the Temple of Poseidon and the sunset there were amazing. 10/10

The Love of Athens Shines Through - As if the wonders of the Athenien Riviera and the Temple of Poseidon weren't enough, the tour was made especially wonderful by our guide and driver, Costas. Born and bred in the suburbs of Athens, Costa's knowledge of the area was second to none, enhanced by genuine love of the Athens ecology and natural habitat. His enthusiasm was genuinely infectious. Wholeheartedly recommend this tour if you want to find out more about Athens and it's rich history.

A must see!!! - We thoroughly enjoyed the trip; our guide was very knowledgeable and allowed us to modify the schedule as we wished. The Temple of Poseidon was amazing but it is a lot of climbing (stairs) to see it all!
