The tour was a relaxing drive to The Temple of Poseidon. The tour was guided by a recording with information about areas along the hour drive. There was ample time at the temple to take pictures and have a self guided tour.

It was an amazing setting. Unfortunately no time to stop on the way for photos but did so on our return. Quick entry with our tickets. Unfortunately a photograph is group we're all set up for sunset shots. So we had to move on. But we were able to get some good shots. It was a windy day but we were prepared.

Comfortable bus journey. The audio guide for the bus journey was fantastic. No audio guide for Poseidon, it's a DIY for information on the temple (Google has always been a good friend). Sunset was VERY beautiful. Went in September and wasn't crowded.

I booked the trip last minute, they said it started at 4:00 and to be at the meeting point 15minutes early. When I arrived I was told that the trip didn't start until 4:30. The coach was very nice and comfortable. The audio guide and tour guide both provided excellent information about the towns along the way. We had about 1.5 hours at the Temple. There was time to see the temple as well as have a meal or drink if you wanted.

Well organised, Effie was a lovely, friendly guide. The transfer was very comfortable with audio guide explaining the history of the areas as you travel along the coast. Temple entrance tickets provided on the transfer. Beautiful views of the riviera on the way there and back. The Temple and surroundings are stunning, especially at sunset. Well worth the trip!
