A quick and flexible Penguin
susanhA3404OS,May 25, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Cape Sounion and Wine Tasting. Warm Penguin is a British-run tour company. They were very quick to respond, which I appreciated. Our travel group was two couples. I wanted to visit Sounion, and our friends wanted to do a wine tasting. They found on Trip Advisor a listing for a combined tour with Warm Penguin. The Trip Advisor listing said “no longer available.” I contacted Warm Penguin directly, and they were able to set up a semi-custom tour for us, on the day we needed, at a different winery. Everything went smoothly, the minivan was very comfortable, and we had a lovely day. I would use Warm Penguin's services again.
SUN is SET in your Camera

5.00Sunset is the time to go to Cape Sunion. Morning tours to the place cannot create its magic. And WAIT ...sometimes clouds may deter your spirits, but SUN will SET:)
Great Tour!

Only if you have a lot of free time and want to see another Greek temple

3.00An interesting visit to another ancient Greek temple. It is a different option, but it takes a lot of time that could be used to explore the city of Athens on your own, if your trip is for a short time. Only if you are very interested in Greek history and mythology, since there are many other beautiful beaches in this beautiful country from which you can contemplate beautiful and free sunsets. It also does not include the ticket to access the temple. The explanation is NOT in Spanish.
Fantastic Tour and Guide!

5.00We had a fantastic tour of Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. Our guide/driver, Apostolis (Tolis), was fantastic and really made it a memorable trip for our family. We were worried about the drive given we have young children but it was a comfortable trip and we were given as much time as we needed at the sites. Would definitely recommend!
Wonderful

5.00We had a great trip to Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon. We had just arrived in Athens and arranged for Tolis to pick us up and take us directly their. It was a great trip and wonderful way to begin our Greek holiday. Tolis recommended a wonderful seaside restaurant for lunch run by a lovely family. There we were, having lunch on the sea with the view of the Temple of Poseidon behind us. Truly a great day! Thank you, Tolis!!
Fabulous

5.00Tour operator was flexible and accommodating when I wanted to add some friends to the car and add a second pick up spot. Driver was knowledgeable and friendly. Temple of Poseidon is a must see and I am very glad we did it comfortably in a private car on our own schedule. Great tour, I would recommend to anyone
Fun day trip to Temple of Poseidon

5.00Our guide Demetrius was very friendly and knowledgeable. We visited the Temple of Poseidon first we got there before it was open and they opened early for us. It was a beautiful spot and it was amazing to be there by ourselves. We added on a stop to an olive grove for a tasting and tour of the farm. It was a really nice day, I would highly recommend.
