Amazing site and a wonderfully guided experience! Our guide was so well informed and engaging, giving a lot of great historical tidbits and facts about modern Greece which all make you appreciate the experience all the more. The temple and views at Sounio are incredible and this tour was a fantastic way to see it, especially as you also get a nice little beach stop on the way!

Our guide Gari was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable about all the places we were going on our tour in addition to all mythology, Greek history, culture, and the present day. The places we visited -Poseidon temple and Cape of Sounion were also stunning! Perfect amount of time to swim and eat on the way. Great driver too. I highly recommend.
One of the best sunsets

Glad my family and I did this tour on our visit to Athens! Tour guide very knowledgeable in history, food, desserts etc.. of Greece! Before stopping at Temple of Poseidon went to a nice little beach town and had some appetizers and wine it was very good! Sunset at Temple was amazing but it does get very windy up there.
Excellent tour guide. ...

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
