Great excursion, with the guide Geoge, who was super friendly and gave great information about the excursion. The entrance to the temple is worth it, you can explore a lot and take lots of beautiful pictures. The stay of over 2 hours is perfectly adequate. The bus transfer is very pleasant.Svein-inge

My expectations were met and history at the site is very interesting. The guide at the tour had a lot of history knowledge (that I experienced in a conversation on the bus)...so I guess a lot of your other tours he can share more of his knowledge than on this sunset tour 😊).Adina

Very well-planned trip with a kind and interesting tour guide. The ride down was beautiful and the Temple of Poseidon was terrific. We stayed until just after sunset which was perfect!Abhijit

The ride was through a breathtaking picturesque beachfront road once we got outside of Athens metropolitan area, which came as a pleasant surprise! The tour guide 'Thanos' was very friendly and helpful who explained stories from Greek mythology and made the trip memorable!Collin
