Review of a private Athens and Cape Sounio tour with the Acropolis, Poseidon’s Temple, Olympic sites, coastal stops, transport, and guide options.

“Perhaps the smartest thing I did on our entire 14 day vacation was to add a guide to our tour of Athens. With only one day in port (on a cruise) I really wanted to make sure my family got as much exposure as possible and these guys checked ALL the boxes. Our guide Martina was able to avoid the worst of the crowds at the Parthenon and pointed out all of the hills, telling us stories about the development and history of Athens. Once at the Parthenon there isn’t much marked so my family would have just been lost and overwhelmed without Martina. Perhaps even better than the sites…”

Review of a private Cape Sounion tour from Athens, with Lake Vouliagmeni, coastal views, Poseidon’s Temple, sunset, and optional seafood dinner.

“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 had a wonderful day trip to Delphi with Petros as our driver. He was very well-organized, punctual, and drove safely throughout the journey. Petros is also a great conversationalist with a deep knowledge of Greek history—his insights really enriched our understanding of the sites we visited. One of the highlights was the lunch he arranged at a local restaurant with beautiful views—it was the perfect break during our trip and a great way to experience local cuisine. Petros is more than just a driver—he’s a true local expert who made our Delphi trip smooth, informative, and memorable. Highly recommended!”
