Perfect afternoon coastal trip from Athens - Vivian, the tour guide and archaeologist, was amazing in her deep knowledge and helpfulness to recommend restaurants even outside the tour. It was perfectly timed and we had a great experience during the sunset. Driving by myself would’ve been much more difficult.

Beautiful location - I enjoyed this tour very much. It was a beautiful location. The weather cooperated and I was glad that they gave us the history during transit and then let us loose into the sites on our own so we were able to experience it on our own. I love having a personal relationship with a space so for me that is the best format. Also it’s a sunset tour so you don’t have to wake up very early. Our guide was brilliant and accommodating. She answered all our questions and was very pleasant.

Great Tour Experience to the Temple of Poseidon! - The tour went smoothly and great as described in the details.
The Temple of Poseidon is an experience not to miss while in Athens. Sunset watching with the Temple of Poseidon as your background and the sea and the little isles as your foreground is something to remember for a long time!
Our guide 'Julia" is very kind, hard-working, and considerate. Our driver "Costa" is a very good and patient driver. Over-all, it was a great experience. Thank you very much!
