coastal beauty - i’ve wanted to see the temple of poseidon for so long and was thrilled when i found this tour. you get to see the riviera on the way and enjoy the scenery. but the temple is something special in my opinion, would recommend to take the trip!

Excellent service - We had a great time on our trip with CHAT tours. The day started off a little rough as we had confused our pickup time and missed our pickup… this was our mistake. Hara at Chat tours went out of her way to get us on a different tour later that day. She certainly didn’t have to do this as it was our mistake, so I really appreciate their willingness to work with us.
The tour was excellent, very informative great to see the coastline outside of Athens. The guide was also fantastic in accommodating my father in law who has limited mobility.
Definitely would recommend!

Sounion: 28 centuries of history ! - Sounion is very much a place of peace! Lovely setting and not too busy. Bus ride was fine. Our guide was ok. I should have read the itinerary better before booking as I missed that this is not a sunset tour. The pick up from the near by hotel is a nice plus but it also cost more compared to other tours.

Poseidon Temple Tour - It was a long ride both ways (it was scenic from the bus, for the most part) for a one hour tour of Poseidon temple. A bit of a long car ride for a quick view and tour.

Beautiful scenic drive - The drive to Sounion was beautiful and scenic. The tour guide had good information, but poor presentation and people skills.

Rude - Your tour guide was a bit rude and made the trip somewhat uncomfortable. We asked a couple of questions and were told that he had already talked about it.

A fun experience outside Athens - A very scenic ride from Athens to visit the structure that’s visible from miles away. There’s a very nice cafe located at the parking location. The cafe offered a good selection of drinks and deserts. The walk up is so much easier than any of the similar places in Athens

Not value for money - We feel cheated and did not get what we paid for. There were stops on the itinerary that didn't occur, and the sunset was after we got off the bus back in Athens. The driver was excellent but the tour guide was not up to the standard we expected.

Bad Tour Company - The bus picks us up from our hotel and we drive 2 blocks. The guide then tells us to get off of the bus because the bus that picked us up does not got to the tour. We follow the guide off of the bus and we get on another bus that’s taking us to Poseidon. We make 3 more stops at other hotels to pick up other people. We finally get on the road to the Temple of Poseidon and the bus was clean. We arrive and we all get off of the bus to follow the guide up the pathway. The whole time she is talking really fast and her Greek accent is really heavy so it was hard to understand her. After the tour we get back on the bus and head back, the bus was suppose to have taken us back to our hotel but instead it dropped us off 3 blocks away! The concierge at our hotel said that they were suppose to have picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel but obviously that did not happen.

Sounion and Temple of Posidedon - Not worth the cost and time
Guide was not good at the history and the stories . It just felt like a bus ride and back
Most importantly they did not pick up form my hotel as promised but had to to go to Amelia hotel
I had specified Breeze Boutique as pick and this was confirmed by Viator
However when I rang the local tour provider “Chat Tours” they said that there is no pick up from Breeze Boutique and I had to go to Amelia hotel along with my co traveller at my cost
Also there was no drop off at Breeze Boutique and we were dropped off at Amelia
Hotel. This entailed additional cost for us and also travel time
So disappointing. Do not pick this tour
