Traveler reviews
Perfect and amazing!
Wonderful experience. As expected and even more. Very well organized Katerina gives interesting explanation and information in very nice, detailed and pleasant way. The view during the bus trip is nice. but the site visit at sunset is really amazing. We have been also lucky with the weather, windy enough to clear the sky. All perfect!
Sunset at Sounion and Temple of Poseidon, not to be missed on an Athens trip!
We had a brilliant time on our excursion to the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion with Katerina, she was a terrific guide providing plenty of helpful and interesting facts during the smooth bus journey. We would definitely recommend this trip for small group size, value for money, overall atmosphere and staff friendliness. Many thanks again Kat! Sarah and Jim from Ireland

Relaxing tour
Wonderful tour, very stress free as they take you to and from the location. The site and location are beautiful. The only issue was getting tickets (I would recommend getting the package that includes them)
