Tour de día completo por Atenas y Cabo Sounion Puntos destacados y templo de Poseidón

We are a family of 4 adults who arrived in Athens via cruise ship with only one full day. Most cruise tours I found were half day options, so I found this private 8 hour tour on Viator and it was one of the best decisions we made! Our guide/driver Giorgos was fantastic. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate, turning the day into an engaging history lesson complete with spectacular views. He explained the famous rivalry between Athena and Poseidon for patronage of the city, the real origins of the Olympic Games, and the fascinating story behind the marathon. The ancient messengers ran long distances carrying important news and it is very different from today’s races. The absolute highlight was the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion. The views are breathtaking and you instantly understand why the ancients believed it was Poseidon’s home. Giorgos also told us the tragic tale of how the Aegean Sea got its name, that King Aegeus threw himself from the cliffs when he mistakenly thought his son Theseus had died in the Labyrinth. I couldn’t help comparing it to the Lord of the Rings scene with the grieving king! We drove past beautiful marinas where Giorgos showed us where locals hang out and where many luxury yachts (including some from Monaco) dock. Athens completely surprised us, we expected it to feel older, and more chaotic, but it was impressively orderly, and vibrant. A real eye opener. For lunch, Giorgos took us to “The Four Brothers”, where we enjoyed outstanding Greek food such as fresh Greek salad, the best fried calamari my parents have ever tasted, and perfectly grilled fish. We returned to the port safely and on time. If you are a couple or family wanting a meaningful full day experience in Athens, I highly recommend this private tour with Giorgos. He brought Greek history to life and showed us the real side of the city. Thank you, Giorgos, you made our day in Greece unforgettable!

Giorgos was very engaging and kind. He had coffee waiting for us when we entered his taxi. He is knowledgeable of Greek culture/history and open to questions. We would book with Giorgos again!

This experience was amazing and Giorgos is the guide you want!! He was knowledgeable about the history of this beautiful County which enhanced our visit from around Athens all the way to the Temple of Poseidon. We stopped at an amazing restaurant to have the freshest food imaginable. Book the tour you will not be disappointed!

We booked this tour with George because we wanted to experience with the city through a local driver . George was amazing and very accommodating . He picked us up with his luxury Mercedes Benz and he showed the city and the Riviera

Me and my friends had an amazing time in this tour. Giorgos knows a lot about the city as he is born and raised in Athens. Magnificent views. Totally recommend this tour.

Visited Athens with the family and needed someone to guide as around the city's historical places and hidden gems. Luckily, we found Giorgos who made sure we will have a good taste of the history of Athens. We couldn't recommend this tour more, totally worth it!! 10/10 ⭐

That tour was amazing!!! Perfect organised!!! We visited all the important sites in Athens like Acropolis Lycabetus hill Olympic Stadium and then we drove through the riviera! The view from the temple of Poseidon was amazing! Thanks George for this beautiful day!!!
