Intimate and Inspiring

shauna83, Mar 2026

Having our tour guide felt less like being on a tour and more like having a family member drive us around. He was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond by sharing insights about places that weren’t even included on the itinerary. One of the highlights was being taken to an absolutely amazing restaurant, where we enjoyed a delicious family‑style dinner that felt authentic and special. Every part of the day was thoughtfully planned and effortlessly enjoyable. All in all, it was a great day, and our tour guide was truly exceptional. Highly recommend!

A great coastal sunset excursion

Elizabeth_F, Oct 2025

On time, very personable and knowledgeable. We had a great drive along the coastline to the Temple of Poseidon. Afterwards we went to an awesome seaside restaurant. Had a great meal . All in all everything I expected. I would highly recommend this excursion.

A relaxing drive along the coast to Cape Sounion with beautiful views

Nancy_A, Sep 2025

Stavros, our tour guide, picked us up at our hotel in a new Tesla. The drive along the coast to Cape Sounion was relaxing with beautiful views. Stavros took us to a vantage point where we could see Lake Vouliagmeni. We never would have found that spot on our own! He explained about the underground canals that feed the lake. When we explored the Temple of Poseidon, it was not crowded and the weather was nice, making this one of the most enjoyable architectural sites we visited. The views of the sea from the temple were stunning. Stavros recommend the “Four Brothers” restaurant for lunch. This was an unexpected treat! We were offered a table next to a window overlooking the water. It was a beautiful view! One of the brothers came by and urged us to look at the catch of the day. We picked out a good sized and very fresh fish for the table. The cooked fish was prepared tableside for serving. We ordered French fries, tzatziki with fried bread, Greek and beet salads. Everything was delicious! We all agreed that the fries and tzatziki we the best we ever had! The itinerary for the tour was perfectly accurate. We highly recommend this tour! We learned and saw many things that would not have on our own.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

The best compliment we can receive, is people that had a great time with us. We always try to make our experiences great and our itineraries accurate! Stavros is always great at what he does. Thank you for you review. May we meet again!

Amazing temple and local rest

Jean_B, Jul 2025

A truly amazing evening. Our driver was really great… friendly, shared lots of information, and arranged a fantastic dinner for the six of us. Our restaurant was right on the water, where they served us amazing fresh seafood, with their own special spices. They really went above and beyond our expectations! The temple was amazing, as well. Definitely recommend adding the local restaurant stop to the tour…

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your review! The temple of Poseidon experience is always better with a local dinner! May we meet again!

Great trip to Temple of Poseidon!

Robert_B, May 2025

Great trip with Yannis. Beautiful Mercedez van, impeccably clean, water bottles supplied, comfortable air conditioning. On trip down we stopped at a lovely Lake Resort for pictures at a hot spring lake. It was awesome. Temple of Poseidon was worth the trip, great views. Yannis took us to a fabulous seaside restaurant and obtained reservations for us. Comfortable trip all around.

Thank you for your review! Giannis sends his regards. May we meet again!

Views, more views, and seaside fresh fish dinner on the cape

Bill_V, May 2025

The driver was Stelios who was very flexible. He allowed us to stop several times to take in the views. He also took us to a wonderful seaside restaurant where we picked out our catch of the day which was a huge red fish. Also some of the best calamari We ever had. The temple of Poseidon is kinda over rated, compar3d to similar temples in Athens. Let's just say the journey is better than the destination.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for your review! Stelios sends his regards. We are glad you enjoyed the trip and we are sorry the temple did not meet your expectations. May we meet again!

A Wonderful Way to spend and afternoon in Greece.

Lee_B, Apr 2025

Having a private driver is a wonderful way to see Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. Our driver was personable, professional, and knowledgeable. This is a “must do” activity when visiting Greece.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for your review, may we meet again!

Our driver was excellent....

Brianna_S, Feb 2025

Our driver was excellent. Friendly. And knowledgeable. He answered so many of our questions with a smile! The car was nice and comfortable. The drive was beautiful. The destination was ok. I don’t think the destination is that amazing after you have seen the acropolis and the other sights around Athens.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

We are sorry you did not enjoy the destination but happy you enjoyed our service. Thanks for your review.

Beautiful drive up the coast with a sunset dinner!

Miyuki_A, Jan 2025

My husband and I enjoyed a leisurely evening with a drive up the coast to Cape Sounion to see the Temple of Poseidon. Our driver, Stavros, was wonderful and we saw beautiful views and didn't feel rushed at all. He took us to a seaside restaurant where we could enjoy the sunsetting as well as local red mullet and sea bream. The local wine they served was very pleasing as well. It was a wonderful evening!
