Superb trip. Can thoroughly recommend. Timing for sunset was perfect. Good value for money. Good option as public transport difficult to Cap Sounion.

Visit a well preserved amphitheatre on the way. Enjoy the sunset, it makes perfect sense that the greeks built (and later restored) a temple

Besides seeing the Temple of Poseidon, you also see an ancient theater! And Julia the tour guide is wonderful—makes the experience educational and enjoyable. Couldn’t have asked for better.

Well worth the money. Bus was clean and very comfortable. The audio is somewhat confusing to follow.

Vivian our guide for the afternoon was so knowledgeable and passionate about sharing her knowledge. Smooth process finding meeting place and then getting dropped back in the centre for easy access to public transport to get back to accommodation

The temple and scenery are wonderful. Our guide and driver were also great. We walked around and took photos, but there was a lot of time to kill before the sunset - the tour could perhaps be a little shorter. Keep in mind there is only one restaurant at the site, and it is accordingly overpriced.

Anastasia and Dimitri were the best duo. She’s knowledgeable and he made our trip safe. I would do this tour over again.

Angelina and Panayotis (I hope I'm spelling that right!) saved the trip after a rocky start and traffic delays. The site is beautiful and O would argue the sunset rivals Santorini's

Julia was super informative and knowledgable and simply wonderful. Nicholas was a great driver amongst of tight areas and bad drivers. We loved the tour from start to finish and highly recommend to anyone. Sunset and temple was a site to remember.
