Do Not Book This

Kelley_G, Jul 2026

I would NOT recommend doing this from Athens. It should not even be advertised the way it is from Athens. We were only able to do the Temple - there is no way to do the itinerary advertised coming from Athens. I was not informed of this when I booked. I tried to resolve it with Viator - I thought we had a resolution, but they then refused to follow through with what we agreed on. I am thoroughly disappointed and suggest you look for a different tour if you want to actually see the itinerary advertised. That being said, this is not a reflection on our driver - he was prompt and lovely. Viator should not keep this tour advertised the way it is. Do not book it.

Wonderful trip through the Athenian Riviera seeing the highlights and stopping wherever we wished for photos. The temple was magnificent and definitely worth seeing. Our guide was fabulous and such a sweet person! Loved spending the time with him.

Was an amazing time on this tour. Happened to book on greece's labor day but our guide took us to a few beautiful places to get amazing pictures with the temple. Was rich with knowledge regarding the temple and very nice. Stopped for some coffee and view of the temple

Excellent trip to another part Greece.
