On the way to Cape... - On the way to Cape Sounion, the drive is broken up with stops for photos and talking. We loved driving on the coast, seeing the sea, and learning about mythology. We had some free time once we got there. Beautiful landscape! The sunset was so beautiful. Despite many people being there, it felt peaceful and relaxing watching the sunset.

Enjoyable Excursion! - I enjoyed this excursion very much. Our group was small & intimate of only #14. The comfy minivan picked us up in front of our hotel right on time for our sunset tour. Beautiful views along the Greek Riviera. We stopped at Lake Vouliagmeni for photo ops. Then watched the sunset at the temple of Poseidon. We purchased our temple tickets at the gate & had to wait on a long line because it became quickly crowded. I can imagine the crowds during peak season! Overall I would highly recommend this excursion.

Great guide &driver. trouble with Viator. - Great guide, Sevi, and driver Alex. However, there was a communication breakdown between Viator and the tour company. I was told that I could not be picked up at my hotel.,(which was conveniently located, and across the street from a hotel, where someone else was picked up!) I was told I needed to go to another location, which was a half an hour away. So I left an hour before the pick up time in order to make sure I would arrive on time. When I arrived at the designated place, after much trouble because it is an obscure location, (18 Micon Street), I realized it must be wrong, because there was no place for a van to pick me up. When I called aviator, I was told to walk to a third location to join the bus. I am a tourist, and although I asked many people for directions, I had a great deal of trouble finding the bus. Please fix this glitch so other tourists do not have a problem connecting with their group. The tour itself was excellent. I was very sorry it got off to such a bad start.

Comfortable and on time - The service was comfortable and on time. The guide, Athena, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. At c£50 per head for the trip plus a further 20 euros per head for entry to the temple, I didn’t think it was good value for money.

not a guided tour of the historical sight - All the company provided was transportation in a van from our hotel to the historic site of the Poseidon temple with two stops on the way there, one at a scenic swimming lake and one with a great view of the Poseidon temple. We also received some commentary about Greek mythology and the towns we passed through on the way there. We had to buy our own tickets and explore the historical sight on our own without a guide.

Nice, but not as interesting as I thought it might be. - It was a lovely sunset view, although I would have preferred to time it to include the afterglow of sunset.
