It was a good programmed trip, with a very nice guide who told us the story of the temple along the way and added some interesting facts while on the site.
The archeological site is on one of the charmest views of Greece so it's a must for every tourist!
The tour was not worth the price as the guide did not speak loud enough and spoke with such a heavy accent that we had a hard time understanding her.
It was a lovely day trip! The coach was prompt on pickup, the drive out to Sounion was enjoyable and very scenic. Our tour guide was very informative! Sounion is spectacular and worth the trip!
The coach trip along the coast at times were beautiful but we had a not so good coach driver, felt quite sick at the end of it. The ruins are right on the coast and look fantastic and the guide was very informative.
The trip to Cape Sounion took longer than expected due to a trffic accident near Piraeus, but once we had arrived, there was ample time to walk around the site and admire the setting and scenery. The Attic coastline with its various riviera-style resorts is very picturesque. Our guide was knowledgeable about the history of the site, both ancient and more recent, and was able to speak at some length on this and on life in Athens generally.
Wonderful trip. Great guide with lots of personality and full of information on history, myths, area, even gave us a lesson (asked if we like to do it) in learning some greek words. The Cape is beautiful and a must see.
A good one, but could be better if the trip started on time so we could have spent more time admiring the beauty of the temple of poseidon overlooking Aegean sea.
A most see for those committed to getting acquainted with Athens and the surrounding area. It really contributes to understanding more about Athens' influence via the sea.
This trip was our first tour after we landed in the morning. We got a good look at the Greek coast and understood why Poseidon was such an important god to the ancient Greeks. Our guide did an excellent job of explaining how and why temples were built as they were.
She was well-informed and clear.
I would highly recommend this tour.
The bus that brought us there was tiny and cramped. No leg room. The guide who brought us there was nice but i seriously couldnt make out his accent. It was generally alright. Probably unwise to go in late Nov - very chilly and very windy.
Excellent way to spend a lovely afternoon and an early evening outside the busy city of Athens. The drive to the Cape is gorgeous, and we left right on time, and arrived in time to hear the history, walk around the temple, AND I even made it down the hill (and back up) to swim in the Aegean Sea. What a blast!!
Katia was our guide and she was excellent-so brilliant and her love for her countrymade the trip even more special.
This tour seems to be very popular and there were a lot of visitors at the site. The temple itself was excellent to see, however the tour consists of a 1 hour drive to get there, a short time at the temple then a 1 hour drive back again.
