Amazing Day Trip/Outstanding Guide Nikos - What a perfect experience. Our day trip to the Temple of Poseidon with Nikos was nothing short of magical! From the moment we left Athens, Nikos made the journey so much more than just a road trip to an archaeological site. His deep knowledge and passion for Athens and his enthusiasm for sharing the region’s beauty were absolutely infectious. He showed us stunning viewpoints and breathtaking natural landscapes. What made the experience even more special was the hidden architectural gem Nikos shared with us…a site we never would have discovered on our own. He truly went above and beyond, even taking us to an incredible lunch at a local spot. This wasn’t just a tour…it was an unforgettable adventure led by someone who clearly loves what he does. If you’re looking for a personalized and enriching experience outside of Athens, we can’t recommend Nikos highly enough!

Cape Sunio and the Temple of Poseidon - My husband and I selected to tour Cape Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon with Thomas as our guide. The pre-tour communication was just a preview of the excellent service Thomas provided. Thomas made us feel like old friends from the very start of our tour. He took us to see places he grew up visiting and hidden gems we would never have encountered on our own. Thomas is extremely knowledgeable about so many subjects and has such a passion for Greek Mythology. He instantly drew us into his world. We had so many fantastic conversations on the way to the temple and on our return. Thomas waited patiently while my husband and I explored the Temple and the surrounding area. He had provided us a write up to help guide our explorations. We had such a wonderful and informative day and woukd not hesitate to book another tour with Thomas when we return to Athens!

Wonderful day one in Greece - My husband and I were coming to Greece a day early for a prearranged vacation package and decided to splurge and for a private tour. Nikos was the perfect guide for us!!! From our initial interactions via the app, Nikos was very responsive and made great suggestions for our personalized tour. We requested Nikos picked us up from the airport to begin the tour and he was standing there waiting even though our flight was early and we only had carryon luggage! Nikos had a comfortable and clean car that he used to drive us to sites. We went to the Ancient Theater in Thorikos before continuing to the Temple of Poseidon in Sounion. We continued the day with a beach walk and visit to Lake Vouliageni. We wrapped with an incredible sea side lunch before Nikos drive us to our hotel in Athens. Nikos was full of historical and antidotal information about the sites and Greek culture. Very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly - we would definitely use Nikos again and recommend him to friends and family who visit Athens.

Best Guided Experience Ever. - This was simply the best tour we have ever been on. All of that was made possible because of our guide for the afternoon, John. His easy going manner made him a breeze to talk to and his ability to “teach” without us ever feeling that he was being pedantic made learning so enjoyable. . He was a joy to spend time with. John’s knowledge of history, culture and humanity goes so far beyond Ancient Greece. By the end of the tour we truly felt like family. What an amazing experience. We will, beyond a doubt, spend time with him again. Best money spent ever!

Perfectly planned day in Athens. - Nikos was an exceptional tour guide for our final day in Athens. He was prompt, extremely knowledgeable, had great communication, and it was like spending the day with a good friend. He even found the perfect local beach for our family to enjoy a swim. All the locations he chose were wonderful to visit and we learned so much from him. We arrived at Cape Sounio at the perfect time to enjoy the site and then settle in for a stunning sunset. Thank you, Nikos for planning our day, sharing these incredible locations with us, and for your kindness. We highly recommend booking a tour with Nikos and Withlocals. If we are ever back in the area, we wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with Nikos and Withlocals.

Local local local! - This tour was an absolute treat. We were immersed in the ways of the locals with Manos. No slick touristy jargon just authentic Greek vibes. His knowledge of his home city and of Greece overall seemed limitless. We traveled around the coast and saw gorgeous beaches and ate at two brilliant but different restaurants. An upscale place with a view to die for, and a seaside tavern with amazing fresh food. Manos was super patient with our many and varied questions about history, culture, politics, life as a local, and it was interesting comparing Greece to our home New Zealand.

The best tour guide EVER - John was the best tour guide we have ever had, and we have been on many tours in other countries. He was exceptionally educated, kind, informative, generous, fun and dazzled us with stories of Greek Mythology. In a perfect world, everyone who visits this beautiful country would have a chance to experience being guided by John. Thank you!!!

Excellent tour with Ioannis! - We were a group of four adults and Ioannis took us on a private tour of Sounio and Temple of Poseidon. Ioannis made our tour entertaining and interesting! He was very knowledgeable of the area and explained everything in an way easy to understand. When he was driving us back to our hotel, he took us to some interesting places and he even gave us some goodies from a Michelin star bakery. Nice touch!!! I would highly recommend taking this tour with Ioannis when visiting the Athens!
