Cape Sounio och Poseidons tempel Privat dagstur med privat lokal guide

This tour was a highlight of our trip, largely due to our tour guide, Manos. Manos built the agenda around experiences we wanted. We had a great time with a dip in the sea and lingering quite a while at the Temple of Poseidon. Manos was generous with his time as well as his knowledge. He never rushed us, and did a fantastic job answering questions with well articulated responses. I really enjoyed the way Manos held a dialogue vice giving a simple answer. We also appreciated the way Manos ensured the level of detail was just right. 3 words to describe Manos: kind, insightful, entertaining.

What a wonderful day spent with Thomas in Athens! Coming off of a cruise ship we had only one day to visit Athens before returning home. Thomas made that one day memorable. Because we had been in Athens prior we wanted to see something new. We asked Thomas to take us to the temple of posiden and a beach. We saw many non touristy beautiful sceneries and also enjoyed the beach and ruins. Our drive was pleasant and beside scenery was filled with history, culture and friendly discussions. He learned we wanted to buy some olive oil and baklava and found just the right spots to do so even calling ahead to put aside the product for us! We had a wonderful day with Thomas feeling spoiled and pampered. We feel we have made a new friend in Athens as well! If we are ever back in the area we will definitely use his services again!

I am travelling through Greece with my 15 year old daughter. We booked a tour from Athens to Cape Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon. Nikos was an excellent guide - at the end we felt we had a new friend. He is a polymath - with multiple degrees and interests, currently completing a degree in Archeology. He was a wealth of information and presented it in a very engaging way for both myself and my daughter. We had asked to spend some time outdoors in nature and he took us to two sites which were outstandingly beautiful and significant - we would never have known about these places on our own. He was very kind to my daughter, always making sure she was comfortable and included. We can't speak highly enough - this was really a perfect day in a beautiful part of the world with a lovely person.

We spent Christmas in Athens and wanted one day outside the city. We chose the trip to Cape Sounion and Nikos because of his interest in history and archaeology. Because of the time of the year, we were not interested in a beach stop but wanted a coastal drive and lunch in a local restaurant. We also asked him to suggest anything else of interest in the area. He collected us from our hotel at 9.30 a.m. The drive to Cape Sounion was stunningly beautiful. On the way, he provided interesting information about ancient and modern Athens. He was very easy to talk to, and we enjoyed the conversation. At Sounion ,we had all the time we wanted to explore the temple precinct, soak up the atmosphere and marvel at the play of sea, distant mountains and light. Afterwards , he took us to the ancient silver mines in Lavrio. This area was new to us. Nikos gave us detailed explanations of the history of the area, the ancient mining processes and also showed us the stone theatre. Afterwards, we went to a small taverna for an excellent local. lunch . We arrived back at the hotel shortly before five. Nikos was an exceedingly pleasant and knowledgeable companion. He was thoughtful and understanding of my reduced mobility and completely fulfilled all our expectations for the day.

I decided to book this tour with John only some hours before the starting time and it was the best decision! John did his best to make it work even if he was on an other tour in the morning! Thank you so much John for the great afternoon with wonderfull places and views and so many interresting discussions and informations! I recommand this tour with John for sure and would book again with him for other tours when I will go back to Athens!

What a perfect experience. Our day trip to the Temple of Poseidon with Nikos was nothing short of magical! From the moment we left Athens, Nikos made the journey so much more than just a road trip to an archaeological site. His deep knowledge and passion for Athens and his enthusiasm for sharing the region’s beauty were absolutely infectious. He showed us stunning viewpoints and breathtaking natural landscapes. What made the experience even more special was the hidden architectural gem Nikos shared with us…a site we never would have discovered on our own. He truly went above and beyond, even taking us to an incredible lunch at a local spot. This wasn’t just a tour…it was an unforgettable adventure led by someone who clearly loves what he does. If you’re looking for a personalized and enriching experience outside of Athens, we can’t recommend Nikos highly enough!

My husband and I selected to tour Cape Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon with Thomas as our guide. The pre-tour communication was just a preview of the excellent service Thomas provided. Thomas made us feel like old friends from the very start of our tour. He took us to see places he grew up visiting and hidden gems we would never have encountered on our own. Thomas is extremely knowledgeable about so many subjects and has such a passion for Greek Mythology. He instantly drew us into his world. We had so many fantastic conversations on the way to the temple and on our return. Thomas waited patiently while my husband and I explored the Temple and the surrounding area. He had provided us a write up to help guide our explorations. We had such a wonderful and informative day and woukd not hesitate to book another tour with Thomas when we return to Athens!

My husband and I were coming to Greece a day early for a prearranged vacation package and decided to splurge and for a private tour. Nikos was the perfect guide for us!!! From our initial interactions via the app, Nikos was very responsive and made great suggestions for our personalized tour. We requested Nikos picked us up from the airport to begin the tour and he was standing there waiting even though our flight was early and we only had carryon luggage! Nikos had a comfortable and clean car that he used to drive us to sites. We went to the Ancient Theater in Thorikos before continuing to the Temple of Poseidon in Sounion. We continued the day with a beach walk and visit to Lake Vouliageni. We wrapped with an incredible sea side lunch before Nikos drive us to our hotel in Athens. Nikos was full of historical and antidotal information about the sites and Greek culture. Very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly - we would definitely use Nikos again and recommend him to friends and family who visit Athens.

This was simply the best tour we have ever been on. All of that was made possible because of our guide for the afternoon, John. His easy going manner made him a breeze to talk to and his ability to “teach” without us ever feeling that he was being pedantic made learning so enjoyable. . He was a joy to spend time with. John’s knowledge of history, culture and humanity goes so far beyond Ancient Greece. By the end of the tour we truly felt like family. What an amazing experience. We will, beyond a doubt, spend time with him again. Best money spent ever!

Nikos was an exceptional tour guide for our final day in Athens. He was prompt, extremely knowledgeable, had great communication, and it was like spending the day with a good friend. He even found the perfect local beach for our family to enjoy a swim. All the locations he chose were wonderful to visit and we learned so much from him. We arrived at Cape Sounio at the perfect time to enjoy the site and then settle in for a stunning sunset. Thank you, Nikos for planning our day, sharing these incredible locations with us, and for your kindness. We highly recommend booking a tour with Nikos and Withlocals. If we are ever back in the area, we wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with Nikos and Withlocals.
