Great experience. Great views. Forever memories! - George and Marios were punctual and great guides. We saw the south of Athens, coast, lake and of course the temple. They found us a good restaurant for lunch. Highly recommend.

Athens private family tour - We had a private tour to the Temple of Poseidon as well as Lake Vouliagmeni. Our driver was very courteous and took us to a great beachside location for lunch. He was very kind and friendly to our kids (3 kids between 7 and 12) and even ensured they had their favourite music for the trip. Our guide for the temple was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging with the kids, which made the experience a delight for all the family (happy kids = happy parents). I would highly recommend this tour operator, their communication was great and were polite and helpful with all our requests and needs, even when it wasn't one of their typical tours.

Beautiful Sunset Tour to Cape Sounio - We recently took the half day sunset tour to the Temple of Poseidon, and I cannot tell you how great an experience we had! Our driver, Theo, was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. You could tell that he took pride in his country and was excited to share it with others. We got to the temple in time for a majestic sunset. The views were spectacular! It really is a place you should visit. The setting and scenery is far more beautiful and intimate than the commercialized and crowed Parthenon. Theo made us feel like out-of-town friends visiting with him and showing us the sights! He went above and beyond what I would expect from a tour guide, giving us insider tips and showing us sights "off the beaten path." On the way we stopped at other sites including Lake Vouliagmeni and more. Theo took pictures for us and added local flair to the entire trip! We enjoyed that tour so much that we wished to schedule another tour. I was having trouble booking online (it looked like there wasn't availability) but when I reached out to Crispy Local directly, they were very accommodating and even asked if we would like to have Theo again as our driver. We were thrilled that Theo agreed to take us on this second tour as it was his scheduled day off! The second tour was even better than the first. I would highly recommend Crispy Local and Theo especially!

Highly recommend this tour and would use Crispy Local’s services in the future. - We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Cape Sounio. Our driver, George, was full of interesting stories and explaining points along the way. We opted for a guide of the Temple, which was well worth it. Our guide, Terpsi, explained the significance of the temple, its strategic importance and some fun facts that you would not know of unless you had a guide. Our tour included lunch, which was delicious. Fantastic experience.

Day Trip to Cape Sounio & Temple of Poseidon - The entire route for scenic and the Temple of Poseidon was one of the most well-preserved monuments we've seen by far. Our guide Mr George was knowledgeable, patient and excellent in his service and delivery of information. One of the best guides we've come across in our tours in Europe these couple of years. Strongly recommend to take him up.

Excellent private half day trip! - We had an excellent half day tour with George down to Cape Sounion. He was very knowledgeable and struck up excellent conversation. We learned a lot about Greece and Athens. George also recommended a restaurant where everything was delicious. Views at multiple stops were phenomenal. Would highly recommend - especially if this is your first time in Athens!

Poseidon Sunset Tour - It is around an hour drive from Athens to Poseidon temple with amazing Athens coast line view. We joined sunset tour and the guide is well-calculated the time to bring us to the destination in a right time, and we were able to see a full sunset in Poseidon.
The driver - George is really kind and knowledgeable. He stopped for 2-3 viewpoints for us to take photo(amazing view) and did not push our time when we arrived Poseidon.
After the visit, he recommended us a local and delicious restaurant😋
The overall experience of this trip is perfect and worth it!
