Fantastic evening - We had a wonderful afternoon/evening on this tour. The guide was great, told us stories throughout the ride. Kept us informed when time limits went sideways due to heavy traffic.

Great tour service - Tour service was excellent. When we arrived to the pickup location the tour bus was full, so my family of 4 and a handful of others hand to ride in a separate van. This turned out to be the ideal situation.
The tour guide/driver provided historical information of the area while we were driving. When you arrive to Cape Sounion you need to purchase tickets to enter the area of temple of Poseidon. The views were amazing.
Trip back to Athens was straightforward and we were dropped off at Syntagma square.

Go see the sunset at Poseidon's Temple - Visit a well preserved amphitheatre on the way. Enjoy the sunset, it makes perfect sense that the greeks built (and later restored) a temple

Perfect in every way - Besides seeing the Temple of Poseidon, you also see an ancient theater! And Julia the tour guide is wonderful—makes the experience educational and enjoyable. Couldn’t have asked for better.

Temple of Poseidon - Well worth the money. Bus was clean and very comfortable. The audio is somewhat confusing to follow.

Beautiful place, excessive piece, non-existent Italian audio guide - The temple is beautiful of course... A visit not to be missed with breathtaking views... At sunset it is a spectacle! The price of 40 euros per person is worse excessive... considering that there is not even an audio guide in Italian... they should make the discount to Italians then! I would say unacceptable given the influx of Italian tourists in a digital age!
