Polite driver, beautiful coastal drive and spectacular sunset views at the temple. Note tickets not included and crowds. - Great experience, booked a private tour as 1st time in Greece and travelling with young children. They advised the best pickup time to see the sunset and the arranged driver George was polite and on-time. Told us various facts along the coastal drive and waited for us while we went to the temple. Note that tickets are not included as listed so have to buy your own, cash queue is shorter than card queue so bring cash if want to be quicker. The sunset was spectacular and better than expected. There are large crowds though so have to wait to try to get pictures without others inside.

Top recommendation - The driver and tour guide Chris is pleasant and knowledgeable about history of god and goodness of Greece and provided a detailed background information throughout the journey as we go along different sites covering every details during the trip. His hospitable manner represents the people of Greece with warmth and such welcoming energy that made travelers feel home. I highly recommend this tour of visiting the temple of Poseidon and watching the sunset which is such a memorable experience.

Trip is good, but not includes entry fee - The tour guy Chris is friendly and very good on history. He talked to us along the way, so we learned a lot about the background. The part we are not happy about is that the tour is very expensive and it even doesn’t include entry ticket, which is 20 Euros for each. This is really surprised to us.
