Driving tour great experience - Great tour
Did two tours back to back days with Panos. Georgia was great .
The information about the history we received was phenomenal and made it really come to life with Georgia.
She was very respectful and answered all questions well
Panos was the driver both days as appropriate he also added great information.
My husband and I felt supported and Safe as we were touring.
Athens traffic is is challenging and Panos was always safe
We feel like we lucked out having them help us with our tours

Private Tour Guide ensured a memorable experience of the Sunset at the Temple of Poseidon! - Highly recommend this Private 1/2 Day Tour of Sunset at the Temple of Poseidon. This was our second experience with Driver / Guide Pantelis G. who again performed well! He was on time, communicated regularly, respectful, and friendly and easy to talk with, knowledgeable of tour sites, shared good recommendations for touring site (and subsequent dinner restaurants). He described towns and city projects along the way to the site with an added stop to see a warm spring lake; but ensured we reached the site well before sunset to enable hiking around site to prepare for the sunset experience. We took many wonderful sunset pictures through the temple ruins.

Trip to Temple of Poseidon - Even though we had a cloudy day the experience was excellent! The driver was so knowledgeable and told us many stories and facts about various highlights of Athens. Very interesting! He asked if we had any preferences for supper so could pick a good restaurant for later! The drive was beautiful along the Aegean Sea. We stopped at a lovely lake and a spot where we could take photos of the rocky shore. The guide was very helpful with suggestions once we reached the temple. He got our tickets plus showed us where the bathrooms and store were located. He allowed us plenty of time to explore the temple even though there was no sunset due to the cloud cover. The restaurant He picked was wonderful. The whole experience was amazing. Would recommend this driver to anyone as his personality and information about Athens was incredible!

Gorgeous and relaxing - A perfect capstone to our Athens vacation! The drive to the Temple alone was gorgeous, and our guide, Terry, was informative, friendly, and fun. We learned a lot about the area. The Temple of Poseidon is stunning. Terry recommended a restaurant for dinner where we had a delicious meal of fresh fish, baked feta, olives, and excellent bread.
Everything was professional, comfortable, and stress-free. Highly recommended!

Temple of Poseidon at sunset. - Manos was amazing. He knew all the perfect places to stop for photos. The stories were perfect!!! He was so kind as to not make us feel hurried but made sure we got to the Temple of Poseidon for a magical sunset on Valentine’s Day!!!! If we ever come back we will ask for him by name.

The upscale communities along the way show another side of Greek society. The Temple of Poseidon is amazing! It’s setting and perspective on the setting sun stir the soul.
