A delightful tour - Our tour for the Sounion sunset was delightful. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable and a wonderful storyteller. He brought Ancient Greece to life.

Comfortable and informative - We recently went on a sightseeing tour of Athens with Golden Greece Tours .
We had a fantastic experience! The tour was conducted in a comfortable, air-conditioned van, which made the journey very pleasant, especially in the summer heat. Our tour guide ‘Costa’ was incredibly friendly, informative, and helpful, providing us with a wealth of knowledge about the city's history and landmarks. He made the tour both comfortable and interesting.
The driver ‘Lazarus was also very friendly and a safe driver, ensuring we felt secure throughout the trip. The team was flexible and accommodating, catering to all our requests and making the tour personalized to our preferences. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens!

Swimming and sunset at a beautiful place- they know the best things to do for visitors! - We had such a great time with Lazarus and Kostas. We went to a beach in Sounion and had dinner and they made sure we were all set up at the beach before they dropped us off. Then they took us to Temple of Poseidon where we watched the sun set over the sea. It was perfect.

Sounios by Sunset - This was my second tour with Mr Lazarus in Spring ‘22 and it did not disappoint. A beautiful late afternoon ride to this ancient site with stunning views along the way. Gorgeous sunset dinner in a charming taverna by the sea.

Great people who made for a great experience - Golden Greece Tours stands out due to the genuine quality of people who work there. Our driver, Lazarus, was kind and likable, and a great help with both the tour of Sounion and transfers to and from the airport. Our guide for Sounion, Costas, is truly a saint. Truly one of the most interesting, passionate, kind people I've ever met. Costas told excellent stories about Greek history and modern Greece, and I highly recommend you ask him any questions you have about Greece. Costas is a magical conversationalist, and just someone that makes your day better by being there. The trip to Sounion was a highlight of our trip due to the incredible people at Golden Greece Tours. Thank you Golden Greece Tours!

Yummy - The stop at the seafood restaurant on the way back from the Temple of Poseidon was off the charts.
Our driver, Tony, was so informative of local events and historical information that it really completed our tour of Athens to understand more about the area

Great experience in Athens - We actually used this group both for the tour to Cape Sounion, and for transfers to and from the airport. The drivers were all great and got us everywhere on time. The trip to Cape Sounion was lovely and the driver was very flexible about what we wanted to do. At our request he suggested a great seaside restaurant overlooking the ruin afterwards. Highly recommend.

Working with this travel agency made our trip to Greece very enjoyable - We had a lovely time. Our driver was with us for 6 days. He picked us up from the airport and from there we went to Nafplio. We enjoyed our daily tours from there and had the flexibility to see the sights that we were interested in and even had a wonderful afternoon tasting local wines
We would recommend the tour group
