Amazing! Our driver was... - Amazing! Our driver was even kind enough to allow us some extra time at the temple of poseidon so we could go into the gift shop (they were late opening the day we went), and the little restaurant he took us to on our way back was absolutely amazing!

A great day trip! - A wonderful Athens day trip! Our guide Theo was very knowledgeable, personable, and spoke great English. He let us decide about the time at the lake (when/how long) because it was cold. When we decided to go for it he made sure we got hot chocolate after! Poseidons temple was beautiful and we had a great seafood lunch after. I highly recommend this tour!

Relaxing and Stress-free Day - This was a very relaxing and stress-free way to visit Lake Vouliagmeni and Temple of Poseidon. My favorite part was swimming at the lake. It was definitely a bit chilly in December, but really lovely with the sun out. We could swim and then sit reading in the sun. We also enjoyed the fish that nibble your feet there. The lake is a neat place. Having a private driver meant we didn’t need to figure out public transit or anything to get there. It was a great and easy way to enjoy our last day in Athens. Then we drove to Temple of Poseidon. The view there is great, but we were fine not staying there very long. (If I changed one thing about the trip it would be to just spend more time at the lake instead.) The car ride was an enjoyable way to see the area outside of Athens too. It was scenic and Giorgios stopped at a cafe on the way back for us to get a hot drink overlooking the sea. If you are looking for a relaxing day trip, this is very nice.

Fun day dodging the ran - Theo was great and very flexible with our year old son. He was very welcoming and made us feel like we were in safe hands. We didn’t go to the lake as it was bad weather but the other part of the tour was great and Theo showed us some parts of Athens and the cost around that we wouldn’t have gone to otherwise.

Best Guide - Our guide George was really amazing. A local Athenian his whole life, he knows all about the country, economics, locations to see and food to eat. He remembered each of our names and I could not recommend him more! I would use him everywhere we go if I could :) The lake was beautiful and very peaceful. You can order drinks and food next to the water. But the water was very cold this time of year so might not be worth the $20 per person price. Definitely bring a towel cause they rent them for $40 a piece! Cape Sounion was beautiful but need to make the time to do the listening tour if you don’t have a guide through the ruins. I would recommend this tour but be prepared that everything is very pricey.

A Perfect Day Away from the Chaos of Athens! - A wonderful day with a great guide. Mr. George will take care of you and he is a wealth of information! He picked us up at our hotel on time, and took us to Lake Vouliagmeni for an enjoyable and relaxing swim in the natural thermal spa. We then drove along the coast to the Temple of Poseidon and the views were breathtaking. After which we went to Four Brothers restaurant, where we sat sea side and enjoyed an awesome sea bass, calamari lunch. This excursion is perfect for those who want an elevated experience away from the crowds of Athens, who enjoy memorable lunches, and great conversation.

George was excellent! - Our day with George was wonderful! Picked us up on time at our Airbnb and was so informative! Knew so much about the history and the modern day of Greece. He took us to the Lake (which was a tad cool in mid November). He suggested a great fish restaurant at the waters edge and then ended our site seeing at the Temple of Poseidon. We leaved so much!

A fun excursion. - Panos was a great guide and very personable. The lake was cold, so only one of four of us swam. The other 3 were just pleased to be in the water, and enjoyed the little fish nibbling at our feet. Beautiful area and not crowded. The Temple of Poseidon was so picturesque out on Cape Sounion. Panos took us to a restaurant for lunch, with the sea just outside the window.
