Great trip - Great side trip from Athens to see the lovely sunset from the Temple of Poseidon. Our driver and guide, George, was charming and well-informed across many topics, and did a stop along the way to show us a point of interest given our conversation en route. Gave us helpful advice on how to manage the queue at the monument as well.

Just go... and use Crispy Local - We highly recommend this experience. Our guide was Georgios who in addition to being a good driver was a wealth of knowledge about Greek history and mythology. The drive down the coast to the Cape was breathtaking and the site itself should be included on any visit to Athens. The company was one of the best tour guides I have every used. Booking was easy and the communications were timely and helpful.

Wonderful Day - This half day adventure was awesome. Our incredible tour guide, George, flooded us with amazing facts and pointed out sights the whole way there. The Temple of Poseidon was fantastic. Geoege brought us to a great restaurant after our trip to the temple and it was delicious. I'm so glad my family was able to experience this day.

Educational and interesting. - George highly knowledgeable and an excellent driver. The entire family enjoyed the conversations about the history and accomplishments of the Grek people. We would highly recommend him as he included our children by asking and answering their questions.

Just OK - Our driver was prompt and very entertaining. He was knowledgeable and gave us a lot of insight into Greek life and Greek society. He stopped along the way to allow us to photograph the coast line. The tour rates only as “average” because the destination itself was very much a tourist-trap. The oohing & awing about the beautiful sunset is over-rated and it became quite chilly as the sun was setting, and downright cold after it had set. A visit in the middle of summer might yield a different response, but the Cape itself was a letdown during the early season. Also, the driver suggested a seafood restaurant on the way home, and it was clearly a prearranged stop. The food at the restaurant was mediocre, at best, and overpriced.. There were “no smoking” signs all over the inside of the restaurant, but clearly the restaurant employees and our driver did not comply with the prohibition as the smell of smoke was prevalent upon entering the facility, and one could see the employees sitting under the signs and smoking, even after we entered. Our driver asked if we enjoyed the food - and we did not register any complaints - as it was evident he was affiliated with the restaurant. Still, he was the saving factor to the whole day, and got us home safely and according to the schedule. This would likely be a better tour if you skipped the offer to stop for “dinner” after viewing the Cape and The Poseidon exhibit.
