Great day spent exploring with Nikos - We had an incredible day with Nikos. His knowledge of the Greek history made the areas we visited come to life. The pastries were wonderful, the whole trip was great. I would highly recommend it!

Great adventure not far from Athens - Fitoumi was very knowledgeable about the area and was flexible to shape activities around our personality. Lunch in town after seeing the temple was down to earth and an authentic Greek experience. He was even able to escort us to the parliament to catch changing of the guards!

A great day with many experiences - Nikos was very knowledgeable & interesting, and answered our many questions! He tailored our tour to what we needed--buying another suitcase, getting coffee, staying away from crowds, & getting us to Cape Sounion before it closed (the hike was really worth it!). We drove to Lavrio for an authentic Greek lunch, and tried new & delicious foods. Nikos had a great attitude & was patient with us. I highly recommend him!!!

An amazing day with a great guide! - Fotis was a wonderful guide! We met him at the cruise terminal in Pireaus and he took us to his hometown and we had local treats and juices at a cafe. We then went to Temple of Poseidon which had amazing views. He then took us to a lovely local beach that was our favorite beach of the trip. Fotis is very knowledgeable, we learned so much about Greek culture and ways of living from him. We would not hesitate to book with him again. Thanks Fotis!

Yorgos the great - We took a ride with Yorgos to Cape Sournio & Poseidon. Yorgos showed us many places of interest & we ended up in a local village where we had the best meal. He was well spoken, educated about the area & an overall delight. Thumbs up👍

Amazing day with an amazing person - I was with my wife and 17 year old son. Fotis was the perfect host for this half day trip. He is personable, knowledgeable and passionate about Greek history and culture. The drive and temple are great but it was the local knowledge that allowed us to have a great experience with stops at a very cool beach and an authentic taverna. Highly recommend.

A special day. - At the end of our day with Fotis, he asked us what part of the day we had enjoyed the most. I thought about the stunning coast of Attica, Cape Sounion and the temple, stark white against the brilliant blue of the sky, swimming in the clarity of the Aegean sea on a hot, hot day and eating yummy food in little local tavernas while talking non stop. I decided to answer that the best part of the day had been sharing the whole experience with him. Fotis is incredibly knowledgeable about all things Greek, intelligent, easy going and wonderful company. We had the most memorable day exploring with him and are sorry that we won't be able to share more coffees and talks with him in the future. We unreservedly recommend a Withlocals trip with Fotis.

Poseidon’s Temple and Beach Day - Fotis is a gem. We had an absolutely fantastic day and saw a side of the Athens area we never would have otherwise. He has terrific stories and showed us hidden gems (beach, restaurant with the best gyros) along with the gorgeous drive to the Temple of Poseidon. Highly highly recommend!

Beautiful day trip from Athens to the Temple of Poseidon. - The guide and driver were very welcoming. My friend abd I had a beautiful day trip down tge coats fro Athens to see The Temple of Poseidon and Cape Sounio.

Messy and exhausting experience with the hosts - never again - While I understand that WithLocals connects you to locals, I don't know if they've vet out the locals well enough. I'm sure if I had a better host I'd have a better review, but it's unfortunate that the level of quality differs with certain locals. First off, my first booking for a tour the host cancelled on me two days before the day (after booking a month in advance) with no one else to fill in -- which altered our days in Athens. We decided to try again the next week on our last day in Athens with a different host. This host pretty much crushed the experience (see below for specific notes). I also noticed that the review rating average does not accurately depict the reviews left - for example, someone with a low review but a handful of 5 star reviews still shows up as 5 stars? That seems misleading. On to my issue of my specific host. The host was very nice and showed us cool spots BUT - was exhausting to be around. I don’t think we got the value we would have hoped given the time and cost we put into this experience. There were multiple faults with the host that made the experience tough, as detailed below. The host's driving was erratic and made our group nauseous. The host also talked a LOT even when we were trying to enjoy a quiet moment, and would interrupt us mid convo our while we ere having individual 1:1s among ourselves. Most of his comments were repetitive without getting to the point, so it was exhausting to hear him talk. At the restaurant, he tried to order for our group even though we had picky eaters in our group (and we were paying for it…) He ordered items to the server that we would not eat, and a member of my party had to ask to remove the items after. I’m not sure why he thought he knew what we were going to order because we were discussing the menu without him. The whole experience we felt rushed, as he kept telling us the times we needed to arrive at the temple — at no point were we delayed or even close to being delayed. We felt rushed at the spots along the coastline. At times he would repeat what we were about to do and deadlines and we seemed to spend more time doing that than actually exploring and seeing the cape for ourselves. We were looking forward to getting back to the hotel ASAP due to these experiences and did not enjoy our last night in Greece the way we had hoped. Unfortunately, with all of these collective issues, I'm not sure I can trust this service again since the hosts don't always seem reliable and there's no vetting that seems to happen to ensure the experience is great.
