Our guide Emma didnt meet our expectations. She had a very heavy accent which was hard to understand...most of the passengers were sleeping. She was hardly audible and even after telling her it wasn't any better. Looks like she is pretty new and I could see the glaring difference an experienced one and an inexperienced guide as we had taken another tour with a deffierent company where the guide wase excellent.

nice experience if a bit short -most of the time is spent in a bus getting there -might also consider a stop along the way and being there for sunset as we were told by many that having us leave before sunset was a cheat .

This was a hidden gem of a place about an hour's drive south of Athens. It makes for a picture-perfect short afternoon tour and you do not really need a guide here. The beauty of the place would perhaps better be captured around sunset and I wish we had the option for that. Besides the Temple of Poseidon, there is not much else to see along the way except a pleasant coastal drive.

Beautiful side of Athens and was comfortable on the airconditioned coach bus. Would have liked more history of The Poseidon Temple from the guide though.

This tour is good but if you are pressed for time, dont bother. Go for the Delphi tour and spend quality time in Athens or the island. Really isnt much to see for the 1.5-2 hrs bus ride.

Easy tour - was good for us and our 3 young children. They enjoyed the coach ride as well as the view from the temple.

It was a good tour and the tour guide was great, but if you don't have too much time in Athens, I would skip this. It's very pretty and interesting, but it's quite a ways outside of Athens. I would recommend some of the other ruins that are a hike away Delphi over this. However, if you are doing it, this was a GREAT tour - very organized, great guide, went at a great pace.

This was an amazing tour! I highly recommend Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon. The views are breathtaking and the drive to get there was just beautiful!

This tour is not a very hectic tour. It a half a day light tour and hence an enjoyable one. The view of the peninsula is awesome. Ruins of Poseidon temple is definitely an added attraction. Though we left before the sunset, I presume it must be very good to see sun setting in the sea.

The drive along the coast is a bonus for this trip. It is reminiscent of Highway 1 in Northern California. Cape Sounion and the Temple were interesting and beautiful but the weather was bitterly cold and windy. Again, February is not primo tourist season. I heard this tour was cancelled the previous day because of weather so I was happy that ours was not cancelled and I got to experience the Cape and Temple despite the weather. Our guide Emma was EXTREMELY knowledgeable and eager to share her info with us. My personal story is about the tour company, guide, and bus driver: When the tour was completed and I was dropped off at my hotel, I soon realized I left my cellphone on the seat of the bus. Frantic, I had my hotel contact the Tour Company and I said I would take a taxi there to retrieve it, please don't lock up the bus without retrieving my phone! The Tour company located my phone and said the bus driver would return it to me at my hotel shortly. Sure enough, the bus driver arrived by motorcycle and handed me my phone. He would NOT accept any money from me for his efforts despite my insistence. Equally impressive was that I had folded Euros in plain sight in my iPhone case which was still there too. I informed the Tour Company how relieved I was and how impressed I was with their personnel and their company for their honesty, compassion, and efficient service. Yes, I would recommend this tour!

This tour was timed perfectly for near sunset. It is an easy half day from Athens. Our guide gave history and context.

I would highly recommend this tour. This drive is a little long but our tour guide filled it with facts about Cape Sounion and the myths surrounding it. The tickets are included in the price and it is well worth the journey. Not only is the temple of Poseidon beautiful. but the surrounding landscape is lovely as well.

Beautiful trip two and from as well as at the sight. guide was knowledgeable, informative, and accommodated us with adequate time to explore on our own. I would rate the Accropplis and museum and Delphi the higher priority to visit but would not have wanted to miss this trip as third priority!

This was a nice tour. On the way to and from Cape Sounion, our tour guide told us a bit about Greek history in general, as well as interesting things we passed. At the temple, she told us the history and myths surrounding it, and then we had 20ish minutes to take pictures and visit the shop/ cafe. Definitely not my favorite tour from the trip, but also not a waste of time.

The trip to Cape Sounion was the best part of my trip to Greece. The views are great..but windy, so pack accordingly. Our tour guide, Mina, was the best. She spoke clearly and was very entertaining, as well as, taught at a level that most people would enjoy. Ask for Mina. The large bus was clean but basic.

This was an okay tour. We got there and only had about 45 minutes to explore before heading back.
