This is our second tour with this company. We had George again as requested. It’s like seeing our friend again. I left something in the van on our first trip and George drove back to our place the following day. Very happy with the tour. Stopped along the way for some nice views and photo opportunities. Temple of Poseidon during sunset was beautiful. We even had an amazing dinner.
Thank you very much for your kind words,We hope to see you again in the future!!All the best to you and your family from Enjoy Greece Tours team
This is the 2nd tour we booked with this company. We booked with Kostas again bec we knew he will give us a good value for our money. And of course we requested for George to be our driver/tour guide. After spending 5 days with him on another tour, it was like meeting a friend again. He knew what we like. Highly recommended trip. George made stops along the way for photo opportunities. And always bring us to a good place for dinner.

Highly recommend this. The temple is beautiful at sunset. There’s a cafe before you get to the ticket booth for the temple. The drive down to the cape was very scenic with George pointing out lots of great neighborhoods, beaches and coves on the way. He pulled off so we could get some photos at a beautiful spot near where he went to university. Definitely worth it if you have a long enough trip to fit in the city center monuments and museums, or if it is your second time to Athens.

The tour guides are only drivers. They are very reliable with getting you to a destination and picking you up. There is little conversation during the drive and the tour guide was not knowledgeable. He kept talking on the phone to his friends. All tickets are extra and they will inform you at that moment to purchase the tickets. For the Poseidon tour which included Lake Vouliagmeni, there was a fence and you could not even get inside to see it. I would not recommend this unless you are only looking for a reliable driver.
Dear Amy,we understand your bad mood the day of the tour,since the weather was bad(raining with strong winds)but we cant control it.Also you got one of our best driver to take you to cape sounio and there is no doubt about his knowledge of all the historical places we are visiting.Another fact is that in all our tours,is clearly mentioned,that tickets,meals and personal expenses are not included.You could hire a licenced guide to enter the temple of poseidon with you and give you a private guided tour but the price would be double than you paid,since the guides are independent. Anyway,thank you for choosing us.You are welcome to book us again in the future.
Jim was great! He was very knowledgable in his history and facts. He also heard our dietary preferences and made appropriate recommendations. Would recommend Jim 1000/10.

Kostas is the reason for the 5 star review. He is pleasant, very knowledgeable and extremely funny. Okay now review for the TripAdvisor’s: make sure you read that dinner is not included nor are the tickets for the Sunset at Poseidon Temple. It is only for the ride. Again, Kostas was amazing! Definitely worth the trip.

Kostadinos, our tour guide / driver, made the experience more fun than we expected. The Temple was amazing and views incredible. We also stopped at a local restaurant and bar on the way back to Athens at the recommendation of Kostadinos and it was fantastic.

My family and I had a great time with dimitris (aka Jim) He was amazing super friendly, smart, nice, funny, and knew a lot of information the experience was better because of him.

A genuine, honest and passionate tour guide, it was an amazing honor to meet and befriend Kostas. A natural in giving tours, Kostas was eager and excited to show off his country. We first drove around Athens, seeing the major attractions including the Parthenon/Acropolis, Temple of Zeus and the Changing of the Guards. Then we went to Cape Sounion for the sunset at the Temple of Poseidon. We finally capped off the night at the best local steakhouse in Athens, Mourouzis. For anyone who wishes to have the best private tour led by the most compassionate local tour guide, Kostas and his company "Enjoy Greece Tours" is one that I would highly highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed and you will come back with an experience of a life time.

Kostas and his team (George and Dimitris), were excellent during our visit to Athens. Extremely kind, punctual, always helpful and trying to make the visit more enjoyable.
