Great safe and beautiful! - The options of 3 bus routes was great. Then, the big tour bus took us at 430p for the 2 hr ride to Cape Sounion and back by 1130p. Maria was professional and knowledgeable. The driver was safe in all matters.

Must go for the panoramic views and Temple of Poseidon! - The views are amazing. Panoramic views from the most Southern tip of mainland Greece. Just in awe of the Temple of Poseidon. Brilliant day out, would highly recommend! The recorded commentary and tour guide commentary are very informative!

A trip that should go on your scheduled time in Athens - Recommend this tour. Easy meeting spot in Omonia Square. Thanos was our guide and he did an excellent job. Friendly, knowledgeable and communicated details well before the start. Great value for the experience. The sunset view was gorgeous to witness and the Temple of Posideon should not be missed. The view of the ocean from the height of the temple grounds was something special to witness. One thing to plan - eat before your take the trip. The restaurant at the site has a good drink menu but the quality of the food is poor.

Good sunset views, long hot uncomfortable bus trip - The sunset was great and the ruins spectacular however the bus was old with hard seats and barely functioning air conditioning. It was a very hot trip for 2 hours to get there

It was an okay experience - The actual sunset was nice and the restaurant at the bottom of the hill. The drive out was nice but definitely take snacks or premade meals (like sandwiches or something easy) with you or prepare to eat as soon as you get there at the restaurant. You get back extremely late so you’ll definitely want to eat before leaving to head home.

Not a happy memory - The weather was a negative factor: clouds, rainy, cold, windy. No sun at all. Restaurant service was abysmal. Twenty minutes before a waiter finally came to table. Average food. Below average service. Great staff person at meeting point. Driver was excellent, including narration en route. Wish I had not booked in advance.

Don’t use the blue bus - Went to blue hop on hop off bus waiting at cruise terminal. We were told by sales person , at the bus that this was better than the red bus and we would be leaving soon. We got on, then saw the red bus arrive, load up and it left quickly. We had to sit on the blue bus for 45 minutes until it was completely full then we finally set off. I wished the sales Lady had been more honest with us.
