Traveled to the Temple of Poseidon on our last day!

Jason picked us up on time at Piraeus port, spoke perfect English and was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the area. We drove through many beautiful shore villages on the way to the temple of Poseidon, stopping on the way for photos. The temple was amazing and Jason didn’t rush us allowing us to follow the audio guide. He then dropped us off at the Athens airport for our flight home! All worked out perfectly!

A must trip in Athens

After a day visiting the Acropolis we enjoyed the second day of our trip Theo. He was patient, funny, knowledgeable and he stopped at all the right places for a photo opportunity. Even the boys didn’t mind having their photo taken.

Sunset visit to Cape Sounio

We had a wonderful experience! There was a small mix-up at the beginning regarding the number of passengers, and the initial car was too small, but it was resolved quickly and efficiently. Soon we were on our way, enjoying a beautiful drive along the Athens Riviera. Watching the sunset at the historic Temple of Poseidon was truly unforgettable. On the return trip, we made a stop in Lavrio for some delicious gelato, which was the perfect ending to the evening. The cars were clean and comfortable, and our drivers were friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. Efharisto para poli, Jason and Giorgos, for making our trip so enjoyable!

Beautiful Sounio Experience

We had a wonderful experience with Crispy Locals! A nice, comfortable car with an excellent local driver/tour guide (Harry) met us right on time — explained much about Greek history and culture as well as the landscape on our scenic drive down to Cape Sounio with a couple stops on the way. We enjoyed a scenic diner and loved the highlight which was the Temple at sunset. There was a concert happening there but Harry expertly met us in a strategic parking lot to avoid the traffic — gave us enough extra time to enjoy a gelato on the way home! Overall excellent tour and side trip from Athens!!

Theo is the Best!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. From the moment Theo arrived 15 minutes early with a warm smile, I knew we were in great hands. Within minutes, it felt less like we had hired a driver and more like we were catching up with a lifelong friend. We shared meaningful conversations, exchanged life stories, laughed nonstop, and I walked away feeling like I had known him for 20 years. His knowledge of Athens is second to none. He didn’t just drive us from point A to point B—he immersed us in the city, shared fascinating history, pointed out hidden gems, and even gave us extra time and stops that were never expected. His generosity, professionalism, and genuine passion for what he does made our experience unforgettable. Theo is a seasoned professional who knows Athens inside and out, including all the luxury spots and local favorites. But what truly sets him apart is his heart. This was Greek hospitality at its absolute finest. 100/10. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you’re visiting Athens, do yourself a favor and book him. It will be one of the best decisions you make on your trip.

Beyond special and incredible

Our driver Theo was prompt on our pickup. The car was super luxurious. Theo our guide was so friendly and so informative. He was very courteous took extra care of us made several pitstops to show us extra beautiful spots. The experience was beyond expectations. I went on this same tour last year with a small group which was a good experienced but Theo and this tour were beyond exceptional. I am coming back to Greece in August with my son and will look to book several excursions with this tour company Crispy Local and ask for Theo cause he is one of the best tour guides I have ever experienced in my travels to over 60 countries.

Beautiful sunset

Had an absolutely AMAZING time on our evening down to the Temple of Poseidon with our guide, Theo. He was funny and engaging, and gave us excellent recommendations on other places to see. The Temple at sunset is a must - and our dinner afterwards was amazing! The best tzatziki in the world! You will love this trip.

A lovely jaunt to the Temple

Our driver Theo did a lovely job ensuring a smooth and relaxing journey out to the Temple of Poseidon with some lovely little stops along the way. There was excellent communication before and during the event, and Theo gave us plenty of recommendations for our visit (wish we’d met him earlier in our trip!). I would’ve liked a touch more time at the temple itself, but it is also a very small site, so it wasn’t too big of an issue would definitely recommend!
