Great Decision! - We made a great decision to use this tour company to pick us up from our hotel in Athens, drive us to Cape Sounio, and return us to the airport in Athens. Our driver, although not a licensed tour guide, and unable to accompany us into the Temple site, was still extremely informative and told us almost everything we needed to know for the visit. The car ride was also comfortable, and we did not feel rushed in the slightest. All in all, a great decision, and a great way to fill the morning before an afternoon departure.

Cape Sounio - Fabulous tour. The temple is a must see. We highly recommend Peter as a guide. Cape Sounio is a place to return for a longer stay

Amazing trip, incredible views and wonderful guide - Spyros was our guide and we LOVED it. Incredibly knowledgeable, very professional and kind and gave us so much history and back stories on the country itself, the people, the ancient world... Totally worth it and great tips about when to leave the sunset areas to see more from whole coastline without crowds. Highly recommend and ask for Spyros!

Pleasant but worth it? - Trip to the Cape to see the Temple of Poseidon was beautiful. Vehicle was a Peugeot minivan that was clean but not comfortable. Driver and guide, Costa , was energetic and informative. The Temple was very crowded to see the sunset with last tickets at 7:20 time. The ticket office pushed cash payments. It was a nice trip but not worth the expense. Pl
