Teddy was an amazing tour guide (and a great comedian)! The sunset at the Cape was breathtaking and well worth the trip.

We enjoyed our tour with Teddy and Sotirios .
Teddy was fun and knowledgeable ( rare combination nova day). The only thing , I personally didn’t need that much time on the beach, I would rather start tour later or maybe stay longer on the lake

The sunset was beautiful but the overall trip would have been much better on my own.
The van was small, crowded, and stuffy.
We made 2 stops that were not needed and just killed time.
The beach stop was not really a place to swim, it was too chilly to swim, and you had to pay for a chair on the beach. 🤨
The guide wasn’t really necessary. He talked a lot but not about anything that could not have been on a handout. He didn’t accompany the group at the Temple to explain things about it and the tickets there weren’t included either. Another €10…
This is basically a crowded shuttle service.

Met some great people on this tour. The tour guide was phenomenal. The sights and the beach were amazing although the water was a little cold 🤣. The only complaint is that it was over so quick!

This was a very informative and fun trip. Teddy our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He knew all our names and kept us engaged throughout the trip. The beach stop and watching the sun set from the Temple of Poseidon were definitely a highlight. Teddy and driver Soteris made the tour memorable.

Great tour. Our guide Theodore was funny and friendly. Length of tour was just right. Not too long that became tiring. I recommend this tour.

Athena was an excellent guide and we had a wonderful time on the trip as a whole! It was a great way to get out of the city and see some historical sites. A can't-miss for a trip to Athens.

A very long and expensive mini-bus ride. What could and should have been a 2 hour trip was stretched out to 5 hours with needless stops and lengthy breaks. The temple is a good site and the sunset very pleasant if the weather is good. But this trip included a stop at a lake (nice to see from a carpark but without any access to the actual lake), then a brief stop for photos at a distance of the temple with the guide providing some explanation of its history, then a lengthy stop at a beach near the temple site (which was 1.5 hours of wasted fill in time) and then arrival at the temple site (entrance fees were an extra cost) to self walk around for another 1.5 hrs before the sunset then a return after sunset. The guide, who was very nice and knowledgeable, did not accompany the group on to the actual site to explain it, which would have been far better and other tours had. Overall needlessly lengthy without any extra value.
