Highly rated tour and transport company

Published on Oct, 2024

If you are looking for a company who can make your last day in Athens really special, pick you up from your accommodation or cruise, provide transport for a superb private tour, including the Temple of Poseidon and a wonderful, chilling beach bar, then drop you at the airport - Then look no further!! We also thought that Alex, our driver was brilliant! - Really knowledgeable and informative and super helpful! A lovely last day in Athens.

Day trip of a lifetime

Published on Sep, 2024

Our driver, George, was incredible and so informative. He came on time and we had a great time. Cape Sunion was gorgeous. The whole trip was a highlight of our Greek odyssey. .

Wonderful sites and a great host

Published on Aug, 2024

Alex was very informative and friendly throughout the tour, the sites and views along the way were wonderful and his knowledge and insights into the history behind things was great to learn about.

Highly recommend this small group tour to the Temple of Poisedon

Published on Jul, 2024

Excellent! Great tour and knowledgeable guide. Definitely worth the money for a small group tour that picks you up and drops you off at your hotel. The Temple of Poisedon is amazing. Also included a stop at a nice beach side restaurant with fresh seafood (at your expense). The Temple of Poseidon is an ancient Greek temple on Cape Sounion, Greece, dedicated to the god Poseidon. There is evidence of the establishment of sanctuaries on the cape from as early as the 11th century BC. Sounion's most prominent temples, the Temple of Athena and the Temple of Poseidon.

Unforgettable day in Athens

Published on Jun, 2024

Alex, our guide was amazing, he went above and beyond our expectations which were already high, he made a couple of stops for us to see some beautiful sights and explained the history behind, he made a stop just for the purpose of taking a picture of the Temple of Poseidon from a very unique location, after we left that location he offered to take us somewhere else and have up options and finally took us to Mount Lycanetus, the highest point of Athens, the view from the top is mesmerizing, on our way back to the hotel he recommended son restaurants, we had dinner at one of them and as expected it was very good, what’s more it was excellent… he was very professional and you can tell he is very knowledgeable and gives you the information needed. I would highly recommend this tour and specially Alex, we will definitely contact him when we need any tours again!!!
