It was a lovely drive out to the temple. The guide was very knowledgable. The site is great to see and worth the half day.

Nice drive along the coast. Great opportunity to get out of Athens for a few hours. Temple is impressive in its location. Driver and guide very good. Pickup and drop off very convenient.

The journey to the site was informative and the site itself was better than expected. The tour guide was very helpful at the site and helped me get a photo of the Byron signature. She explained the significance of the site and put it in its historical context well. It would have been nice to get a closer look at the Temple of Athena site, but time was a factor and i could still get some photos.

Amazing bus/tour ride along the Greek coast down to Sounion to see the Temple of Poseidon. The tour guide was fantastic, the bus driver was skilled and navigated the tour bus, professionally, and without incident. The bus itself was modern and beyond comfortable. It provided us exactly what we were looking for!

The scenic route was gorgeous, the lake, the sea, the water, wow! Air conditioned and comfortable ride. Be ready for the twist and turns though. It’s a little daunting seeing the sea so close to those turns. The guide was great! I was a little concerned based on the reviews but it was well worth the trip.

Great attraction to see and the bus was very comfortable. It was a very hot day so the air conditioning was very welcome

Overall I enjoyed the trip. I really enjoyed Poseidons Temple. The drive along the coast was beautiful. It was three hours or traveling for a 30 minute tour. The bus driver didn’t turn on the air conditioning for about an hour and it was almost 40 c in the bus. It was supposed to be an English tour but it turns out it was a French/ English tour and 90% of the group was French. Nothing wrong with that it was just not explained in the description that it would be a mixed language tour.

The guide Vicki (Vasilliki) was very knowledgeable about Greek history and kept her commentary going for the whole trip. The grandchildren aged 8 and 5 were able to understand and learn from her stories of Greek mythology, places, food etc.
