5.00IT WAS AMAZING! Yiota was our guide and she was outstanding, kind, knowledgeable, inclusive, respectful, helpful, she was above and beyond. The views on the way to Cape Sounion were incredibly beautiful. Once we got to the Temple of Poseidon you have time to explore on your own, the admission fee was $20 euros per person (my 11 year old got free entrance) and the experience was a highlight for our family. We had plenty of time to enjoy the Temple, as well as to browse and buy at the gift shop there. We even got time for coffee and snacks. The only "not that good" experience for me was the curvy road on our way back. My recommendation is for the driver to go a little bit slower on that road, other than that IT WAS GREAT!
Great trip

5.00Trip is not too long, but I’d recommend eating up before the start. Views are breathtaking and if the sky is clear you are in for a spectacular sunset. Heading back you can hit some traffic if you are going on workdays as most of the citizens are coming back home from work at the time.
A Must!!!

5.00Excellent tour! The stops along the way were really great, but the temple itself was definitely the highlight. There is a nice cafe at the temple to have a drink or something to eat and watch the sun set over the Ionian Sea. The only downside was that there is a 20€ admission fee per adult to enter the temple site, you don’t have to pay, but you won’t get up close if you don’t. The tour was right around 4.5 hours and picked us up and dropped us off right by our hotel in Athens. The mini bus was clean, comfortable, and very new, it even had USB A and C ports for charging at each seat. Our guide, Maria was wonderful, very personable and knowledgeable about the sights and Greece in general. I definitely recommend this tour to everyone who visits Athens.
Would recommend

5.00The experience was very educational as well as being able to explore various parts of the city as we were traveling to the endpoint. When we got to the end point where we were going to see the sunset our tour guide Maria let us explore the area and it was very beautiful to see the actual Poseidon site as well as the sunset I would highly recommend anyone who wants to bring their significant other than they should do this or share it with their close family members.
Wonderful!

3.00The cape Sounion is beautiful at sunset, however the guide did not provide much information at the temple. We stopped at a scenic overlook before arriving to the temple where the guide shared some information, but honestly it was not worth the cost for a group bus. The majority of the time was spent driving or in traffic, we only got to be at the temple site for about an hour. It was a stunning sunset, and there is a restaurant nearby with a bathroom.
Wonderful, Lively Guide

4.00I’m giving this a 4 because the sunset was clouded out but really the trip was wonderful. Our driver was Panagiotis and our guide Giota. She gave us a lot of interesting information, not the usual rote delivery. She got us to introduce ourselves, she learned our names, she made us into a group. And of course the temple and its location are spectacular. Highly recommended!
Interesting trip to Cape Souinon
