“The location of pickup was a little hard to sort out so leave a little time for that.. if we hadn’t asked a story owner we would have never found it and we have plenty of time to look for it. The tour itself wasn’t great. Our tour guide was new - second tour ever and she did a great job, the buses were older and I didn’t like th headset version. The sunset was nice”

12.Best of Athens & Sunset at the Temple of Poseidon Full Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 70 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $181

Spend a full day seeing Athens highlights, the Acropolis, Panathenaic Stadium, Plaka, and Monastiraki, then return later for a coastal drive, beach stop, and sunset at the Temple of Poseidon. Expect two tour segments, a seasonal break, small-group transport, and a separate temple entry fee.

“This tour was just okay. Visiting the Acropolis was great. Yes it was hot, and busy. But overall it was a good experience. But beyond that, not sure the tour was worth it. Our guide wasn’t proficient in English (not a knock since she speaks multiple languages, just made it harder to fully understand). Another stinking point, we were crammed into a van sitting on top of each other. After having walked in the hot sun, sweating we had to return to a van to sit on top of one another. Overall not a great experience. Note: we left before the sunset experience.”

Our Guide has a Greek History University degree. Recommend going on 8am Tour if weather is hot. Climb is a slow pace given crowds, however quite easy now given that there are ramps and proper steps. We had the option which included Tickets, which meant we could avoid the long ticket queues. You won’t regret taking this Tour.”
