Poseidon and the coast - Beautiful sunset view of Poseidon. Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable. It would be helpful to have a list of recommended restaurants.

Best Afternoon Spent - Jannis, our driver, was wonderful. He explained the history of the temple to us and filled us in on the towns we drove through to get there. Afterwards, we stopped at a wonderful local tavern for a delicious meal. It was a great experience.

Definitely a ‘must see’ when in Athens - Eight of us took this tour so we had two vehicles, with Dimitirius (‘Jimmy’) and ‘Billy’ (I can’t remember his actual Greek name) as our drivers. It was fantastic. We got to the temple just before sunset, and had a fun time getting photos. After, Dimitri knew we wanted a steak dinner, so we were brought to a fantastic restaurant where we were treated like special guests, and the food was absolutely the best! It happened to also be my birthday, so before we left the restaurant Billy, Dimitri and the restaurant manager (owner?) came over to the table with a birthday cake and candle, and everyone sang happy birthday. It was so special!!! I would recommend this trip for the amazing scenery along, but certainly the special treatment made it one of the highlights for our entire group!

Everything was wonderful. The drive up the coast was amazing. Our driver brought cookies and a drink. - Great trip up the coast to see Temple of Poseidon. Dinner on the water at sunset was perfect. Perfect after a long day if air travel.

Highly recommend - The sunset tour of the Temple of Poseidon was phenomenal. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. The sunset was gorgeous. Afterward, our guide recommended a traditional Greek dinner that was fantastic, very authentic, and fun. We liked him so much- he took us to the airport with another sightseeing spot along the way. Would recommend this to anyone visiting the area!

Friendly driver. Great experience. - Dimitri (driver) was great. He got us to the Temple of Poseidon in a timely manner and even stopped at a couple locations along the way to allow us to take some additional pictures. On our way back, he even took us to the airport to pick up the luggage that was misplaced by the airline for our travel companions. He then took us to the most wonderful location for a very late dinner but the food was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour and Dimitri to anyone else.

Giannis was the best! - Giannis made our anniversary and birthday trip to Athens quite memorable. From the sparkling wine and chocolates in the car upon his arrival, to the engaging conversation and pride in his work, we enjoyed the entire trip. Take Giannis' advice for the meal on the shoreline, farther from the Poseidon's Temple. He also takes wonderful photos to commemorate the visit. There is no need for him to go with you into the site, as it quite self-explanatory. Be ready with Euros, as the credit card machine at the Temple did not work on our visit.
Thank you Giannis!

Great tour but too much talk - George was a very reliable driver, spoke English well, and was a wealth of historical knowledge. Cape Sounion and the sunset at Poseidons Temple was spectacular. He also recommend Zorba’s, an excellent restaurant in a small elegant harbor in Pareaus. 4 stars because he did talk *too* much and went towards politics too much.
