A very pleasant outing. The drive was beautiful and the driver did a great job. The cape and the temple of poseidon were gorgeous and the sunset was unforgettable.
This one topped our list. Giorgos was fantastic. The wonderful food and welcoming at The Four Brothers Restaurant and then that sunset just took it over the top for us. Thank you!

We had an absolutely amazing experience! Every one of the locales we visited (not only the Temple of Poseidon) were all terrific and very well selected by the tour company. But I must say, and I know my family of four agree, the element that made the day truly exceptional was our tour guide, Theo. I do not exaggerate, he was the single element that made our tour very likely the most memorable day we had in Greece and probably of our entire trip to Europe. From the moment he picked us up at our apartment until our tour ended he was an absolute professional and a great human being. Thank you, thank you for a truly amazing and memorable Greece experience!

My daughter and I did this trip. Our driver was Giorgos and he was excellent. The private car allowed us to talk about whatever we wanted and ask questions. Giorgos was very knowledgeable and had great stories. The dinner stop by the water was nice and picturesque. The temple is fascinating and a wonderful spot to take pictures at sunset.

I booked this experience based on all the previous 5 star reviews and didn’t regret it. Or guide and driver Theo contacted us beforehand with clear instructions on picking us up and he was right on time. We were driven down the coast for dinner at a small restaurant on the water (the fish was divine!) before continuing on to Temple of Poseidon. Theo dropped us right at the entrance point and was waiting for us when the temple closed. Then we stopped at an amazing gelato place on the way back. Theo was a great guide and driver, full of lots of information. My partner is coeliac and Theo communicated with the restaurant owner directly to ensure his meal was gluten free. It was a wonderful way to experience a different part of Athens.

We had a perfect evening with Theo as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave us great history lesson. Went to a beautiful dinner along the water and saw the most beautiful place in Athens for sunset.

We went on a Temple of Poseidon tour as a family of four. Theo was our driver and tour guide. He picked us up at the door of our hotel. Theo showed us fantastic sites along the drive. He took us to an excellent restaurant and a delicious homemade ice cream shop. The seafood at the restaurant was excellent and our children got to feed the fishes in the nearby Aegean Sea. The sunset at the temple was breathtaking. We made it in time to take pictures of the sunset setting over the marble. Theo spoke excellent English and was an excellent driver. He told the children great stories of Greek myths.

Our driver George was absolutely fantastic. It was so much better than Acropolis which was completely overcrowded. George gave us lots of great information for the rest of our trip. We opted to do the dinner stop and the restaurant was fantastic.
