We were very comfortable and enjoyed the trip with views of the coast. Our tour guide was excellent and very friendly. It was the perfect late afternoon activity after visiting the Acropolis in the morning.

Top recommendation

Rachel_S, Jun 2025
The driver and tour guide Chris is pleasant and knowledgeable about history of god and goodness of Greece and provided a detailed background information throughout the journey as we go along different sites covering every details during the trip. His hospitable manner represents the people of Greece with warmth and such welcoming energy that made travelers feel home. I highly recommend this tour of visiting the temple of Poseidon and watching the sunset which is such a memorable experience.

Trip is good, but not includes entry fee

Wei_Z, May 2025
The tour guy Chris is friendly and very good on history. He talked to us along the way, so we learned a lot about the background. The part we are not happy about is that the tour is very expensive and it even doesn’t include entry ticket, which is 20 Euros for each. This is really surprised to us.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for your review. About the admission fees is clearly written what is included and excluded.

A ten+. Relaxing, interesting views of Athens and surrounding areas.

Rhonda_T, Sep 2024
This was the best tour, relaxing, comfortable comprehensive. It gave a great view of other parts of Greece and a beautiful view of the ocean, beaches along the winding highway drive. The guide was super friendly and informative.

Spectacular Cape Sounio experience

RAQUEL_A, Apr 2026
Spectacular experience with Manos. We loved it. He has striven to speak Spanish and understand us. Great knowledge of its culture and knows how to transmit it with affection to the client. We would certainly trust him and Viator again when we travel. Thanks from our family.
