5.00The trip to Cape Sounion was wonderful. We were picked up right on time at our hotel by our guide Harry who was very friendly and full of good information. The drive was beautiful and Cape Sounion was very impressive. After a lovely dinner at a local seafood restaurant - we headed back to central Athens. Great tour!
Nice trip along the coast...

5.00Our guide (George) picked us up from outside our hotel, bang on time, dropped us at the entrance at perfect time to enjoy sunset! He happily chatted about all manner of topics; history, politics, tourism… well informed and knowledgable guy, pleasure talking to him and made the trip more enjoyable! The Temple of Poseidon is well worth the visit, sitting on the hill overlooking the sea… got some great photos! And for a family of 4 it was not ridiculous price versus the coach - so no brainer if you’re not on a tight budget. In short I’d recommend this tour and this company!
Cape Sounion is not to be missed!

5.00This was the perfect trip for the first day in Athens. We rested up on the morning and then had a beautiful drive along the coast with George. He grew up in the area and was extremely knowledgeable about local history and events. Sunset at the Temple of Zeus was the highlight, but dinner with an ocean view, seafood, wine, and a gellato stop were also amazing. Thanks for the memorable evening!
Dimitris was a great...
