Traveler reviews
Amazing experience with the best and most passionate guide who now feels like a best friend!
We actually did two tours with Andreas because he was so amazing. He is warm and welcoming and knows everything about Athens and Greece. He is very passionate and friendly and made us feel like family. He made our Athens experience so special. I miss Athens and Andreas so much now that we are heading home. Andreas took care of everything, the huge van we rode in was luxurious, he timed everything perfectly with the sunset, had tickets for us to be able to walk right in to see the temple. The views and sunset were breathtaking. Hengameh took us to a hidden gem of a restaurant for dinner. Due to the time of year, we were the only people in the restaurant. We were treated like VIPs and the food was outstanding. We would have never had this experience without Andreas. I highly recommend you book all of your Athens experiences with Olive Sea Travel and Andreas, you are in for a treat and will find the heart of Greece.
Great view from the Poseidon temple,nice sky
We had Panos as driver and tour guide, we were alone with him as private tour.The drive was long to the temple and he told us so many wonderful things about Athina, Greece,history and stories alike and recommendations what to see,where to eat...it was really enjoyable. Can only recommend it!
Poseidons temple at sunset
Theodore was our guide and the whole experience was excellent! He was beyond accommodating and even asked us if we wanted to be taken to an authentic seafood dinner after the sunset, which of course, we did! He really made the evening wonderful!
Don't miss this!
5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Andreas was our guide and picked us up at our hotel. The Small Group tour turned out to be pretty small - just me and my husband! We couldn't have been happier as Andreas was absolutely delightful! Knowledgeable, funny, and truly proud of his country (as he should be); Seeing Vouliagmeni Lake was great, and learning about all the small beach towns along the way was a treat. Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon is a must see/sea; beautiful site, and the sunset was worth the price of admission. Highly Recommend! We will definitely book another tour with Olive Sea Travel in the future - give Andreas a raise!
Outstanding Temple of Poseidon Sunset Tour and a Stellar Guide!
Our professional guide Andreas could not have been more warm, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He knew everything and nearly everyone in both Athens (from our full-day tour with him the day before) and in/around our Sunset Tour area (including directing us to a simply marvelous pre-sunset dinner spot). We felt like family - to be continued in the future!
