Beautiful Sunset - The Temple of Poseidon is in a great location on the water and it was fun to go through some the beach towns on the way from Athens. Our tour guide, Nina, was great and told us what we needed to know. We liked the smart GPS guides with headphones that gave us info on the different sites we passed on the way. The bus ride was about 1.5 hours each way. There are lots of pathways to explore once you pay to get into the site and there are plenty of places to watch the sunset. It was beautiful and definitely worth going.

Great trip - Guide was really friendly but you actually only pay for transport as you buy your ticket separately, but I don't think you can reach destination by public transport so its fair enough. Bring a jumper as its extra windy but views are great. Obviously very crowded even out of season

Great way to finish a day in Athens. - There was some kind of protest in Athens. No problem, the company organised very comfortable 16 seat buses instead and we still got away right on time.

Family-friendly tour of stunning Sounion - We wanted a basic tour with a central pick-up location, no frills and easy for a family of four. The bus was comfortable and Stephanos, our onboard guide, was excellent. He did not escort us around the site but on the bus ride home Stephanos shared his extensive knowledge about the temple of Poseidon and the history of the peninsula, as well as many other aspects of Greek history and antiquity. The hand-held audio guides distributed for use during the bus journey to the site were not particularly engaging but they were not a reason we booked the trip - we just wanted to visit the temple and explore the site at our own pace. The weather was not in our favour for stunning sunset photos but the temple is nicely lit and still looked dramatic against the evening sky.

Cape Sunion is beautiful, the audio guide a disaster - During the bus hour the audio guide is provided which is basically a copy-paste of wikipedia. Among other things, the various chapters are abruptly interrupted before the end, so the speeches always remain halfway through.

Beautiful sunset but audio guide lacked substance - The in person guide was great but the audio guide lacked interesting information and didn’t include details about the Temple of Poseidon. This could have been included before we arrived. The sunset was beautiful and the trip was well organized.
