Amazing Meteora Experience – Just Be Prepared for a Long Day!

Where do I start? The Meteora Monasteries and mountain views were absolutely amazing. The scenery alone made this tour worth it. The snack and dinner stopovers were at beautiful locations right by the water, offering great views and a relaxing atmosphere. Overall, this was a fantastic experience. The staff, tour guide, and restaurant staff were all friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the day. One thing future travelers should know is that this is not a short trip. You will spend a significant amount of time on the bus getting to and from Meteora. The bus was comfortable and had Wi-Fi, but don't expect a quick excursion. We left Athens around 8am and didn't return until about 10pm. It is truly an all-day adventure. Another important note is that the monastery entrance fees are not included in the tour price, but I highly recommend paying the admission. The views from the monasteries are breathtaking, and the peaceful atmosphere makes the visit even more special. Despite the long travel time, I would absolutely recommend this tour. Meteora is one of the most beautiful places I've visited, and the experience was well worth the journey.

Great tour!

There were so many stops and so much food! I don't think we went more than 4 blocks away from the central market, but it was very informative and fun. At one point we sat down to eat, I thought that was lunch, nope, just a snack. Later we sat down for a full meal. Come hungry!

Amazing guide John!

Absolutely stellar guide! Knowledgable, funny, caring (found shade for us all the time), remembered everyone in the group very quickly (by city and country). Gave us a wonderful morning that we will remember forever. Huge respect for our amazing guide.

Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon Half-Day Small-Group Tour from Athens

John_I, Jun 2026

This tour is a fun way to...

This tour is a fun way to get out of Athens, but it's not a huge time commitment. We would highly recommend taking the later afternoon sunset slot, as everything you see is on the coast. With great weather, you'll get so many opportunities to see the Aegean and a beautiful sunset. If you're a British literature fan, look for the spot where Lord Byron wrote his name on the Temple of Poseidon. Not a big fan of defacing an ancient monument, so thanks a lot Byron, but still worth a hunt and picture.

Great Tour of Athens!

Loved this tour. Paddy was our driver and tour guide. He knew everything there is to know about Athens - past & present. He took us to all the sites, answered all our questions and then took us to their private restaurant for a wonderful Greek dinner. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see as much of Athens as they can in a 1/2 day.

Wonderful Walking Tour

What a wonderful experience! Our guide, Eva shared her love for Athena with us along with so many interesting facts about the history of the monuments and Athens itself. We left feeling inspired to read more about Athens and Greece and Greek Mythology. We thoroughly loved the experience. It was amazing to walk and see and learn about the Acropolis from an expert. We would do the tour again!

Fun day sailing in the Saronic Gulf

Our family of six had a great day on this cruise. It was a relaxing break from the busy tourist areas of Athens. We had fun exploring the villages on the islands and swimming from the ship. Crew was friendly and frequently checking on us to ensure we were enjoying the cruise.

Jennifer_Z, May 2026

Perfect day

Amazing. At one point they anchored the boat and got to swim and snorkel in the Sardonic Gulf. Agestrika is a small island village that has a trail up the hill. Aegina is a bigger port town with many cafes as well as a beach to the left. One: suggestion bring covering to avoid sunburn and also pants or sweats for the wind which chills.

Ginny_L, May 2026

Awesome way to spend last day in Athens

It was the last day in Athens and it was such a great idea to take this trip and be taken to 3 very different places to discover their history and Nafplio is such a cute town that’s very Instagrammable! Alex is a super guide and I regret he does not go into the site for detailed explanations as he is very well versed in the history and George is a safe driver who got us everywhere. Highly recommended to all.
