Extraordinary! - This was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable excursions and experiences we've had and we've gone on a number of them with Viator. We were whisk away in a beautiful recent model Air-Conditioned van with about 12 other people... The tour guide knew her stuff but was not overbearing, the driver knew the road and we felt safe and secure the entire time, we stopped off for a dip in the a Aegean Sea with a beautiful Cabana provided and some wonderful food, quickly available. The food was at our cost. Then we went to a beautiful lake, saw what it had to offer and then to a beautiful viewpoint of the Poseidon Temple from afar, from close, from on top of it, not really, but virtually, and then the most beautiful sunset you have ever witnessed in your entire life. It has to be one of the more romantic and beautiful places I've ever been. And I've been a lot of places... The only problem with the romance was that there was 300 or 400 other people there with two marriages going on, but we still were able to find a relatively secluded place with a perfect view view of the sunset. All in all, this was one of the best excursions I've ever been on. The crew that took us there was great, the temperature was perfect, and the views were extraordinary! Thank you for providing such a wonderful and meaningful experience.

Fantastic Tour - Highly Recommend - Maria and our driver were fantastic! Maria was very engaging on the drive and gave lots of interesting facts and old myths about where we were driving through. The four stops on the trip were great - highly recommend this tour, especially if you have the chance to do the sunset timing; the sunset view from the temple of Poseidon is breathtaking.

knowledgeable guide and great site - friendly and knowledgeable guide. timely pickup. stopped for an hour at beach along the way. a bathroom stop on the way back would be useful, as there is only one at the site and its unavailable/long line at leaving time (several tour groups leaving at once).

Spectacular Sunset - It was a fun experience. The site was amazing and the sunset was worth everything. The stop at the beach was so-so. I would do it again though.
