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
Beautiful Site. Perfect...

Surreal Sunset
Daniel_B
, Jun 2022
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.

The scenic drive was lovely.The sunset and Temple of Poseidon were spectacular. The drive was too long each way and it would been nice if they had stopped at some scenic overlook points along the way.

Total disappointment

, 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.
Response from Host , Oct 2021
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

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 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.
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.
