Thank you, Fostis, for a perfect tour - Fostis is a great guide and host. Our day was exactly as described in the tour description. It included the drive along the Greek Riviera, a stop at a beautiful lake, a breakfast bakery brake, a beach stop, an additional photo stop, Sounio Temple visit, and lunch at a traditional taverna Fostis really looked after the group, providing us with a perfect combination of sightseeing and knowledge of Greek history, culture, and general information in a very entertaining way. The June 1st morning small group tour was composed of an exceptionally nice group of participants. This was one of the best tours I ever had!

Great day out in Athens Riviera - Fotis was a very energetic, passionate and engaging guide who seemed to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of Greek history and mythology. The stories he shared were funny, informative and memorable. He took us to some great local spots and eateries which we wouldn’t have been able to find on our own. He also went above and beyond to provide us with some great recommendations in the area. We highly recommend this tour, it was truly Greek (Hellas) hosting at its finest!

11/10 Tour – I Made an Account Just to Say This. Book this tour! - Fotis is to tour guides what Homer is to the Odyssey: deeply knowledgeable, endlessly passionate, and a natural storyteller who brings the history to life. His knowledge of Athens is encyclopedic. We started with a traditional Greek breakfast; two delicious dishes and a drink. Perfect for anyone who hadn’t tried local food yet. Fotis took us to a private beach that proved you don’t need to visit Crete or Santorini to find paradise. Athens has its own. The views were stunning, and while the waters aren't as shallow as Elafonisi, they're just as beautiful. The drive was never boring. Fotis knows the history behind every landmark, and the sea views made the ride even better. We stopped at a few meaningful places before arriving at the Temple of Poseidon. The stories, the view, and the avra ("aura") you feel as you ascend, it’s unforgettable. Bonus: "aura" is just one of many English words with Greek roots, something Fotis pointed out along the way. To end the day, we had lunch at a hidden gem of a restaurant which had better food, lower prices, and amazing local beer. Only wish we had a bit more time at the beach and temple (45 min each), but the day was packed and well-paced. I opened an account just to write this. It was that good. I wouldn't be surprised to see Fotis with his own documentary or Netflix special soon. (I'll try to add some pics later)

Take this tour! - Fotis is a phenomenal guide. This is the best viator trip we have taken. He was so knowledgeable about Greece (Hellas) and the Hellenic culture. We loved every moment! We experienced local places (for Bougatsa and lunch) and finally had some of the experiences we were searching for on our trip. The information about sounio and the Temple of Poseidon made the experience even better. You would be lucky to have Fotis as your guide!

The best tour ever!!! - It was very local and authentic, the tour guide will take you to beautiful spots only locals know and away from touristy places. He will also share stories about the history of Greece, Greek Mythology, and life in Greece, which was extremely entertaining and informative. He was also very friendly and positive. The atmosphere of the tour was very nice even though the other guests were initially strangers. The tour also introduced us to very nice Greek snacks and drinks that we didn't know existed. We had an issue with Labor Day and the tour was easily rearranged and extremely flexible, so I recommend telling the guide if you have any preference regarding date and time. In general, it was worth booking the tour if you want to experience authentic local Greek life and have an overview of Greek people. It made us fall in love with Greece even more and we'll definitely visit this country again, and hopefully will have a chance to book with this tour guide again!!

Best day out - This is a great tour to see the Athenian Riviera. Fortis the tour guild was extremely knowledgeable on the history of Greece. He was so very kind and accommodating. The group was hungry after the temple visit so he took us to a wonderful restaurant where we could have dinner and it was very resonable. I made many friend on this tour including Fortis. I highly recommend it.

***A Fantastic Day with Fotis Along the Athenian Riviera*** - I had an amazing trip to Athens and couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Fotis! We started the day by driving along the stunning Athenian Riviera, enjoying beautiful views of the coastline and the clear Mediterranean waters. Fotis was not only a great driver but also a very knowledgeable guide. He shared interesting insights about the area and its history, making the journey both scenic and educational. Our destination was Cape Sounion, and the experience did not disappoint! The Temple of Poseidon was breathtaking, perched on the cliffs overlooking the sea. Fotis took the time to explain the history of Greece 🇬🇷 and answered all our questions. It was an unforgettable experience and a perfect way to end our day. Highly recommend this trip for anyone visiting Athens! Thanks to Fotis, it was a seamless and memorable adventure. ☺️
