Our guide Domi was not very professional. Spoke little about the sites, And when there was an issue at the end she left the bus early and did not help many of the customers return to their hotels. She left that to the driver. Not at all professional.

Guide was welcoming, informative and knowledgeable. The Temple is interesting. View is spectacular.. . The ride to the cape is scenic. Sunset was nice. We had some cloud cover.
My wife and I were disappointed in this tour. Although it initially was nice that we were picked up at our hotel, by the time all the other folks were also picked up, a lot of time was used just getting out of (and later back in) to Athens. After entering the actual site, we rec'd an overview of the Temple ruins and some free time for photos and souvenir shopping. All told, the total trip lasted almost 5 hours with approx. 4 hours on the bus. I personally found our tour guide difficult to understand because of her heavy accent. Following this tour, we took two other Viatour tours to other sites and the difference was significant.
II appreciated the story about the Cape and the historical value & importance of the Temple but it’s a long, albeit pleasant drive for a 30-45 minute visit.
Beautiful view and great tour guide. Like that there were snacks and bathroom available. Sunset was perfect time to go!
The tour and guide were very good however the pick ups were a bit unorganized. They did not seem to know how many people they were expecting for the tour which resulted in a long wait before we were able to start the drive to Sounio.
The tremendously skilled bus driver & wonderful tour guide were as incredible as the sights. The weather was perfect & the length of the tour was just right 👍
Amazing views of the coastline, temple set in amazing surroundings, not a long trip so worth seeing, driver and guide spot on
Nice trip. Since it's in winter, the group size was not that big, we got 18 people on the bus. Our tour guide Rose is really friendly, a nice person to talk to. The view of the temple is stunning.

For the first-time visitor to Athens, this was a way to see the coast of the city’s beautiful peninsula before ascending the hill where the Temple to Poseidon sits. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of this place!
Bus picked us up on time and tour guide gave us interesting information during the trip about Athens and the surrounding areas. Good amount of time at the site and, given it was February, not a lot of people around. If possible, I would suggest to stop halfway through the bus ride to take pictures as the surrounding area is very pretty but hard to take nice pictures from the bus.
Awesome drive from the base of The Acropolis to Cape Sounio. Great views the entire way. It was cold and windy and we still had a good time.
The Guide did not explain too much the stop at the Temple of Poseidon. Visit too fast. Lots of buses. Too bad because the site is beautiful
Tour fantastico. Non solo conosci la Riviera Ateniese ma Capo Sunio è un attrazione spettacolare, piena di storia e una posizione Unica. Guida preparata ed esaustiva
Muy buena excursión la guía maravillosa sin palabras. Una signal más de la perfección de los dioses.
Belle visite malgré un temps venteux et pluvieux Le temps de la visite était rapide (35minutes) pour 3h30 de trajet aller retour
