Good service for putting in relation taxi drivers. - Expensive experience with the company and recommend / suggest to directly contact Ilias kanteres for such kind of trip. He is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable on his country/ points of interest and easy to deal with.

Belle sortie en famille - Our chauffeur Glykeria was excellent. Very informative, flexible and gave us lots of useful tips for eating and drinking in Athens. The drive out to Cape Sounion was good and the site itself v interesting. Worth doing for a change of scenery from the city vibe in Athens.

Delightful half day trip to Poseidon’s Temple - My friend and I had a wonderful half day tour south of Athens to Lake Vouliagmeni and Temple of Poseidon with Ilias. He was knowledgeable, friendly and made the day a perfect experience. We had a wonderful early dinner at The 4 Brothers Tavern. I look forward to returning to Greece to do another tour!

Day well spent! - Glykeria is so very interesting, informative, and funny! This was the second trip we booked specifically with her. The weather was perfect and she gave us enough time at the sites to make the trip relaxing. The water view at the restaurant was very nice. She made sure we were well taken care of. Thank you!!!!

Excellent trip for a half day! - Wonderful trip through the Athenian Riviera seeing the highlights and stopping wherever we wished for photos. The temple was magnificent and definitely worth seeing. Our guide was fabulous and such a sweet person! Loved spending the time with him.

Half day trip from Athens to Cape Sounion - Had an enjoyable half day visiting some sites one of the highlights was Poseidons temple followed by a delicious fresh off the boat seafood lunch as recommended by our driver Ilias Kanteres. Ilias was very easy going and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Ilas

Perfect tour & perfect lunch - We had 5 hours to spare after debarking from our Med cruise and one of us had an injured leg. Glykeria organised an amazing tour for us, with great flexibility, amazing places (the Temple of Poseidon was out of this world) easily accessible, and a wonderful fish lunch in a Greek Taverna by the sea. Highly recommended!

Great post-cruise day trip - We did this trip the day we finished a cruise. It was perfect because we didn’t have to arrange ground transfer from the port to our hotel in Athens. Our driver, Glykeria was very knowledgeable about the area, and gave us more context to what we were seeing/experiencing. My kids loved the stop at the beach and the fish market/restaurant. I loved seeing the Temple of Poseidon - the views are incredible. It was a great day and one we will remember for a long time.
