Must do this tour when in Athens - The tremendously skilled bus driver & wonderful tour guide were as incredible as the sights. The weather was perfect & the length of the tour was just right 👍

Nice trip - Nice trip. Since it's in winter, the group size was not that big, we got 18 people on the bus. Our tour guide Rose is really friendly, a nice person to talk to. The view of the temple is stunning.

Nice tour of coast of peninsula! - For the first-time visitor to Athens, this was a way to see the coast of the city’s beautiful peninsula before ascending the hill where the Temple to Poseidon sits. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of this place!

Very good experience - Bus picked us up on time and tour guide gave us interesting information during the trip about Athens and the surrounding areas. Good amount of time at the site and, given it was February, not a lot of people around. If possible, I would suggest to stop halfway through the bus ride to take pictures as the surrounding area is very pretty but hard to take nice pictures from the bus.

Cape Sounio - Awesome drive from the base of The Acropolis to Cape Sounio. Great views the entire way. It was cold and windy and we still had a good time.

The tour and guide were... - The tour and guide were very good however the pick ups were a bit unorganized. They did not seem to know how many people they were expecting for the tour which resulted in a long wait before we were able to start the drive to Sounio.

Cape - II appreciated the story about the Cape and the historical value & importance of the Temple but it’s a long, albeit pleasant drive for a 30-45 minute visit.
