Absolutely amazing! We loved our ride, even though the weather didn’t cooperate and we had to stay local we had a great time seeing more sites in Athens … Dimitris was very knowledgeable about the area and took us to the highest point in Athens. I would recommend anyone to book this!! Just so much fun I could t stop smiling!

Our drivers/guides were Top of the line. We had rain on the radar. They contacted us right away and got us scheduled before the rain. Amazing you need to do this tour! They were so playful and jokers with my children as well. They Enjoyed the ride and scenery as well! Awesome job!

Such a fun way to see Athens!

From the moment I booked the tour, communication from the tour operator was really great. Dimitris helped us coordinate so we were able to take this tour as soon as we arrived in Athens. He communicated clearly and often and was so helpful through the entire process. Our guide, Stavros, was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of wonderful information about the area, the sites and the history. It was very hot the day we did the tour and he made sure we had water and food breaks as needed as well as a swim at a local, less crowded beach. Some of the locations we wanted to visit were closed due to the extreme heat and he was able to alter our itinerary and take us to some other interesting locations. He was so much fun and we really enjoyed our time with him. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Poseidon Temple via sidecar motorcycle MUST DO at Sunset

We loved the way Dimitri (the young driver) rode the motorcycle. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the ride. We had the Best Time Ever. There is nothing bad I could say about this trip. Highly recommended!!

Thank you so much

JUST DO IT!!!

Twelve days in Greece and this was the best! My granddaughter and I (ages 17 and 78) loved the experience of riding in the sidecar, the trip along the stunning coast, and seeing the incredibly beautiful temple of Poseidon. While perhaps not for the faint of heart, you will have the experience of a lifetime. Demetrius, our driver, was as handsome as he was charming and spoke excellent English. When we look back on our trip in future years, this is the memory we will remember best.

Thank you so much

Viator Great, Tour? Not so much!

Allison_L, Jul 2023
Cancelled same day after the scheduled pick up time....Viator had no idea either! Viator provided a full refund, which is why they are great to work with and rescheduled me same day so I could see Poseidon Temple

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We are so sorry for this! We have a problem with our drivers this period and it’s not enough! We are full refund your amount from Viator. When you come back to Greece we offer you a free ride at the temple of Poseidon and a great meal in a traditional Greek tavern. Ian so sorry for this. Dimitris
