This is a totally worthwhile and magical experience! A beautiful drive out of the city into the beautiful coastline. A nice snack and beverage before walking up to the Temple. Truly magical as the sun set. Great opportunities for photos at all phases of the trip. Our guide planned the perfect spot for our dinner afterwards at Merida. Delicious food with a cozy fire. Peter Kleiofis was the consummate host and guide. Stopping along the way, showing us sites and had wonderful conversations! He was gracious and professional and was outstanding at providing us a first class experience! THANK YOU PETER!!!!

Opt to do dinner after sunset at the local restaurant - the fresh fish should be a first choice. Also, it going to be windy, so dress appropriately. The vistas are wonderful and enjoy the seashore as you drive along the coast.

We are returning visitors- that should tell You about Ancient tours and their services! Once again Tas, my new found friend in Greece, did not disappoint. This tour was flawless, from the pick up time to the drop off time- Tas takes you through Greece’s Riviera and shows you the highlights until your arrival at the Temple of Poseidon. What a view and what a well preserved monument - An absolute perfect day! My experience in Greece has been wonderful and thanks to Tas the memories I now have and will take with me will be absolutely invaluable. Thank you once again, Tas. You are a small beacon of happiness and I am so grateful our paths crossed.

I can understand that repeating the same information might get routine for some guides…. BUT NOT TAS! His obvious admiration and passion for Greek history takes you beyond the regular tourist experience. From the moment he picked us up he made his tour special - small insights, extensive knowledge and years of experience make him the most expert of guides. I highly recommend this tour because not only is the temple beautiful, easily accessible and a special afternoon out of the city, but the professionalism, dedication and true hospitality make it an experience to remember. Thank you Tas; we had a most memorable and lovely tour - you make Greece very special….

The place is magnificent and we had a great day with Tas, who shared his in-depth knowledge of Greek history with us during the trip. It couldn't have been better.

Yanis was a fabulous driver for our tour and gave us extensive background on Athens, Greece, Greek mythology, and anything we asked him about related to Greek history. He was accommodating and tailored the trip to our family’s needs. He helped us find a great restaurant after the tour. We highly recommend him and this tour.

What an amazing afternoon/evening trip to the Sounion Peninsula! Tas, my guide, was knowledgeable on all things history and made for a memorable trip!
