The Poseidon temple was wonderful. The guide was not.

Our guide Domi was not very professional. Spoke little about the sites, And when there was an issue at the end she left the bus early and did not help many of the customers return to their hotels. She left that to the driver. Not at all professional.
Temple worth the trip.

Guide was welcoming, informative and knowledgeable. The Temple is interesting. View is spectacular.. . The ride to the cape is scenic. Sunset was nice. We had some cloud cover.
Disappointing experience

My wife and I were disappointed in this tour. Although it initially was nice that we were picked up at our hotel, by the time all the other folks were also picked up, a lot of time was used just getting out of (and later back in) to Athens. After entering the actual site, we rec'd an overview of the Temple ruins and some free time for photos and souvenir shopping. All told, the total trip lasted almost 5 hours with approx. 4 hours on the bus. I personally found our tour guide difficult to understand because of her heavy accent. Following this tour, we took two other Viatour tours to other sites and the difference was significant.
Disappointing experience. Poor value for money

The Guide did not explain too much the stop at the Temple of Poseidon. Visit too fast. Lots of buses. Too bad because the site is beautiful

II appreciated the story about the Cape and the historical value & importance of the Temple but it’s a long, albeit pleasant drive for a 30-45 minute visit.

The tour and guide were very good however the pick ups were a bit unorganized. They did not seem to know how many people they were expecting for the tour which resulted in a long wait before we were able to start the drive to Sounio.
Must do this tour when in Athens

The tremendously skilled bus driver & wonderful tour guide were as incredible as the sights. The weather was perfect & the length of the tour was just right 👍
Worth a trip, especially if in Athens

Nice trip. Since it's in winter, the group size was not that big, we got 18 people on the bus. Our tour guide Rose is really friendly, a nice person to talk to. The view of the temple is stunning.
