Temple of Poseidon in Souniou - Our private tour to the Temple of Poseidon was magnificent inspite of the horrendous heat wave. All thanks to Elegant Greek Tours's driver Michael who made life pretty bearable narrating about the Poseidon Temple history in his air conditioned luxury car. Mike went out of his way and dropped us for 2 hours at the Astir Beach for some sun bathing and swimming and then resumed our tour of the Athens Riviera and describing every magnificent views along the way. Mike is pretty knowledgeable and has made our tour the most enjoyable experience. My spouse and I definitely recommend this tour by elegant Greek Tours

Sounion and the sunset - I highly recommend Elegant Greek Tours with Alex. We travelled with a mercedes van which was very comfortable. Alex, a guide and a driver, was excellent and the tour was remarquable. A very very good expérience !!!

Sunset at Temple of Poseidon drive - We ended up taking this tour because we had to cancel the one the night before. We were provided a driver and he did an excellent job taking us to the Temple of Poseidon. We ended up arriving right in time for sunset. The restaurant was so-so, I think it’s where they take everyone who takes this tour. We really didn’t want to go but has to stop because we would have been too early for sunset. The person who took us was a driver not a guide and it’s important to know the difference. If you want to see the Temple of Poseidon at sunset, this is a good tour. We didn’t get the history but the driver shared what he knew of the history and he did get us from Point A to B and then back.

Expensive private car hire considering nothing else provided - The sunset over the Temple of Poseidon was as advertised, beautiful.. We enjoyed the drive to the Temple and the recommended choice for dinner was excellent, great quality and good value. Our reason for not rating this higher was the price. We paid for dinner and admission to the Temple. $500 for a private car to/from the site was very over-priced. I think fair value would have been about $300. In fairness, the driver was excellent, informative and this is outside his control.
