Great excursion - We highly recommend this tour for anyone traveling to Athens. The length of the tour and size of the group were perfect. We had plenty of time to experience all the beauty of the Athenian coast and Temple of Poseidon and enjoy lunch at a beach bar. Our tour guide Milda was friendly and made the tour fun for the group.

Sun and History! - This was such a cool excursion. It was really neat to see the coast near Athens, where people from the city come to hang out. The little stop at the beach to swim/have a snack was lovely, and the temple was stunning. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. Our guide and driver were amazing, and the bus was super comfortable.

Absolutely Breathtaking - I did have to walk towards my pick up spot but you get your drivers tracker with your confirmation. They picked me up on time. I wish I remembered my tour guides name but she was so fun- Never dull moment with her. Can was spacious and clean. And obviously the view was breathtaking. I recommend this tour.

This tour is a fun way to... - This tour is a fun way to get out of Athens, but it's not a huge time commitment. We would highly recommend taking the later afternoon sunset slot, as everything you see is on the coast. With great weather, you'll get so many opportunities to see the Aegean and a beautiful sunset. If you're a British literature fan, look for the spot where Lord Byron wrote his name on the Temple of Poseidon. Not a big fan of defacing an ancient monument, so thanks a lot Byron, but still worth a hunt and picture.

Very nice sunset trip to the coast - Great trip to the coast to see the sunset from the ruins. Vanessa did a great job explaining the history behind what we were seeing. Took 6ish hours to complete and got back to Athens a little after 10pm.

Just disappointed - My booking on Viator gave me an incorrect meeting place. They refused to wait for me at the actual meeting place which was a 15 minute walk away from where the app told me. I was also told I could not receive a refund.
