Great overall! - Great experience overall! Pick up was straightforward; the guide was helpful; visiting Sounion was amazing! Only downside to note is be careful where you sit - the seats by the middle staircase have very little legroom. But overall, a fantastic experience well worth going for!

A worthwhile tour - Would definitely recommend this tour as well as the company. Very informative and helpful. Trip was worth doing. Lovely to see at sunset. A bonus is the free transport to Lake Vouliagmeni the next day. Anastasia couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you.

Do it! - The sunset wasn’t great, too cloudy. It was still a nice drive and a beautiful location right next to the water. It’s a small time commitment to see a pretty and interesting spot. Pro tip: sit on the right hand side of the bus.

Amazing views! - The trip and audio were fantastic; however the ac on the bus was not running well. We were sweltering by the end of the trip.

Great place - Very appreciable moment as this visit at sunset. Majestic and mythical place. Two stops on the way out to discover a point of interest or simply a viewpoint. Only downside is the quality of the audio-guide which repeats the same things very often.

Great Tour, just not quite sunset - A beautiful journey down (sit on the left side of coach - best coastal views) Temple of Posideon is great.. just not quite able to be at the top at sunset - needed to be back on the coach at sunset!

Good. - The place is beautiful. And Anne guides you on board super attentive and professional. The audio guide on the bus (I chose Spanish) is pretty bad. He doesn't have intonation. He mispronounces some things. Really with today’s technology I feel like they could do a lot better. During the tour I didn't hear anything about the place we were going to visit (if they said it I didn't register it) I think it would have been interesting. Anyway if you see the tour as a transport to and from with the plus of some extra info is fine. Eye with the tickets that's put together row! It is recommended as soon as you get it out!

Adequate coach transport - An easy way to see the temple of Poseidon from Athens for sunset. We got it for £29 for 2 people, and for that price it's fine as a means of coach transport to the site for sunset. The audio guide you listen to on the way there in the coach is an incredibly dull, dry list of the towns you pass through and the populations thereof. It's not a guide of the historical site. With all the bus tours disgouring their tours at the same time for sunset, your under a time pressure to use the toilet and then queue for tickets with enough time to enjoy the site. There's no time to see the attached museum.
