Sunset over Cape Sounion- an unforgettable experience! - We experienced the afternoon tour to Cape Sounion and it was so magical watching the sunset over the Temple of Poseidon with rock partridges nearby! The drive there was well paced with interesting information from our guide Athina and driver Alexander.

Get out of town to Cape Sounion! - This is a 5-star tour! Their comfortable minibus picked us up not far from our AirBnb apartment. On the trip down Iliama filled us in on Greek work origins, Greek mythology, and background of the places we visited. Made the time go by quickly and was very entertaining. Two stops before arriving at the temple broke up the drive very nicely. Alexander is an excellent driver on Athens crowded roads, and then as the roads get more curvaceous as you get closer to Cape Sounion. Even if you don't get a full sunset the site is magnificent, and you are given plenty of time to explore. When we left, Iliama made sure to answer any lingering questions any of us might have, and then we relaxed to music on the drive back. OK, the Christmas music was not totally to my liking, but it is the season!! Highly recommended tour operator!

Awesome sundown tour - Katherina and Bill were amazing tour guides , arranging for a very convinient pick up. From the moment we met Katherina, she was warm and friendly making us feel welcome. The trip was smooth with no bumps or any delays and safe at the same time. Katherina’s in depth knowledge and enthusiasm was awesome and we enjoyed listening and asking all the questions that came to our mind regarding the temple of poseidon, greek culture and everything in between. I would recommend this tour for everyone young and old. The temple of poseidon is not difficult to get to, with beautiful vistas.

Absolutely wonderful experience! - This was such a great tour and our guide Debbie made it an even better experience! The weather wasn’t great but that worked in our favor as it was much less busy at the site. Debbie had so much information to share, she was so fun and really knew her history. Our driver Pericles handled the mountain roads like a total Pro. I loved this tour!

Excellent tour to Temple of Posiedon - This tour was a very nice ride down along the coast from Athens to Sounion (Temple of Posiedon). Along the way, we stopped at Lake Vouliagmeni for pictures and a short visit. Our tour guide Illianna was a very lovely young lady, extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of our trip. Despite some light rain along our way, our driver managed the well-kept mini van perfectly and comfortably. The light rain subsided by the time we arrived, and the one hour plus visit turned out to be wonderful. Highly recommend this tour.

Debby is the BEST - Our Guide Debihio (Poseidon's daughter) was wonderful. She made the drive interesting and fun. The beauty of the Cape and the ruins at sunset were matched only by the intensity of the wind. The sunset was gorgeous and fast!
