Temple of Poisidon Excursion - We booked the excursion to visit Cape Sounio and Temple of Poisidon Athenian Riviera 4 hour tour through TripAdvisor, we received an immediate response from Demitris to ask if we would prefer Sunrise or Sunset we chose to take the Sunset Tour. Demitris picked us up at the hotel at 6 pm. and took us sightseeing with the amazing views. We arrived at the Temple of Poisidon and was a bit windy. My wife didn't bring a jumper with her, and Demitris offered his jacket to her. After visiting the Temple of Poisidon, Demitris took us to a restaurant to enjoy dinner before heading home. Demitris was very knowledgeable about the history and surroundings and told us of other places we could go and visit. We also booked Demitris to drop us off at the airport. Thanks, Demitris, from the Roux Family.

A Great Tour of Athens Coast and wonderful seafood meal - Maria was an excellent guide and driver for our half day tour to The Temple of Poseidon. She was very professional and pleasant to deal with. She gave us lots of interesting information about the area which we drove through. After we visited the Temple, she took us to a wonderful local restaurant on the water. We ate very glad that we selected the lunch option. We had a great seafood lunch (muscles sakanaki, grilled octopus, fried squid). On our way back, Maria showed us a few additional sites in Athens which we appreciated. She made it a very memorable experience. Highly recommend!

A fun afternoon. - Fabulous tour with Glykeria! She picked me up right on schedule at my hotel with great communication beforehand. The drive was smooth and the vehicle very comfortable. I learned a lot of history concerning the places that we visited and never for a second felt rushed or bored. The pace of the tour is spot on and the spot chosen for lunch was delicious. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Guided Tour of Acropolis & Museum. - Fabulous Acropolis/Parthenon and optional Museum guided Tour with our excellent and fun Guide Vennardo (Bernie) The knowledge gained from our Guide regarding the history of Acropolis, mythological Gods, sights and detailed Museum Tour was very informative. Our Guide has a Greek History University degree. Recommend going on 8am Tour if weather is hot. Climb is a slow pace given crowds, however quite easy now given that there are ramps and proper steps. We had the option which included Tickets, which meant we could avoid the long ticket queues. You won’t regret taking this Tour.
