Gorgeous views!

The sunset along the coast was gorgeous, with the temple in the backdrop. I thought it was very worth it. The commute from Athens is very long and you are essentially paying for the view and pictures.

Terrible experience
Gideon_M
, Jun 2022
Unfortunately has a bad experience. Advert says it's hotel pick up but it’s not. They message you after you book saying you have to be in a certain location. By the time we read the message on the site and got to the location we were 15 mins late. The bus has already left and they refuse to give us refund. Absolutely terrible business policy. I cannot possibly recommend this to anyone

Pictures don’t do this justice! It’s a nearly 2 hour bus ride to Cape Sounion, but the tour guide provides history and information the entire ride! You learn so much about different areas of Athens during your drive that you probably wouldn’t have learned otherwise. Once you arrive, get ready for breathtaking views! It’s a beautiful evening, truly. The temple is unique and stunning … then there’s the sunset. A sunset you’ll never forget! It’s also so much cooler on the cape (you can understand why the Gods loved it so much). Couldn’t recommend this more. Only wish there was more time for dinner at the nice restaurant.

Total disappointment
Shelly_B
, Oct 2021
Key Tours left us waiting for an hour to be picked up, then we spent another hour picking up more people. After 3 hours we arrived 5 minutes before closing and sunset. The headsets also did not work, so we didn’t have any explanation of what we were looking at until the ride home. The location is only 1 hour from Athens, yet we spent the whole day riding around instead of visiting the site.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback about our Temple of Poseidon tour. We feel sorry we didn't meet your expectations during your tour with us. Please note that during that day, many main roads in the city centre were closed by the police and that's the reason for the delay. Please accept our apologies and we hope to have the chance to rectify this in the future. We remain at your disposal for anything else you may need. Best Regards, Marianna Papakosta

Long drive to see very little. Site is great but with some poor organisation we only got to spend very little time there. Tickets were not pre-purchased which was a surprise. If you have limited time in Athens don't waste time doing this trip.

Fabulous time visiting Cape Sounion
jdb42470
, Oct 2019
We had an absolute great day traveling down to Cape Sounion. It had rained all day the day of our tour and we were worried that the weather was going to spoil our trip. However right as we arrived at the Temple of Apollo the clouds parted and the sun came out. We were able to get some really fantastic sunset photos with the temple behind us. If your going to be in Athens, definitely do this tour/excursion, it will be something you remember for the rest of your life!

It is a long way on the bus out to the Cape. That being said I would still recommend this tour. Lots of beautiful scenery on the way out . Our guide was very informative. The bus was comfortable. We didn’t have to walk far to find a viewing spot . The wine at the end was a nice touch .

This was a great tour, on the way there Demetrious did a great job of explaining the historical significance of the cape and what we would see. He is great! The drive was beautiful. Would highly recommend and is a nice short trip out of the city.

This was a good tour to see some of the coastline south of Athens and to see and spend some time at Sounion. The bus was comfortable and the guide was quite knowledgeable and was willing to answer any questions the group had. Be aware that this was NOT a sunset tour and there was no wine included in the tour. we arrived back in Athens at around 6pm and sunset was a 7pm. I would still recommend the tour for the site but the title of the tour was misleading.
