This was a great tour, thanks.
Impactful place with a lot of history and beautiful sunset All the way to the Cape is beautiful, beaches, coves
It was a lovely drive out to the temple. The guide was very knowledgable. The site is great to see and worth the half day.
Nice drive along the coast. Great opportunity to get out of Athens for a few hours. Temple is impressive in its location. Driver and guide very good. Pickup and drop off very convenient.
The journey to the site was informative and the site itself was better than expected. The tour guide was very helpful at the site and helped me get a photo of the Byron signature. She explained the significance of the site and put it in its historical context well. It would have been nice to get a closer look at the Temple of Athena site, but time was a factor and i could still get some photos.
It is a very beautiful excursion but I think there is a little more time missing there, as the travel time is relatively long. Very good guide.
Sit on the right on bus, on the way to Poseidon, great ocean view. Great view, and good history telling by out guide.
Amazing bus/tour ride along the Greek coast down to Sounion to see the Temple of Poseidon. The tour guide was fantastic, the bus driver was skilled and navigated the tour bus, professionally, and without incident. The bus itself was modern and beyond comfortable. It provided us exactly what we were looking for!
The scenic route was gorgeous, the lake, the sea, the water, wow! Air conditioned and comfortable ride. Be ready for the twist and turns though. It’s a little daunting seeing the sea so close to those turns. The guide was great! I was a little concerned based on the reviews but it was well worth the trip.
We had an amazing afternoon with Xenia! She was knowledgeable, engaging and fun to listen to. Car was clean and comfortable. Overall amazing trip!!
