Review for: Join-in archaeological site tour

Overall, the tour was amazing! The bus is also comfy. Some of us bought the entry tickets already but I bought mine onsite. It was a great, peaceful, and calm experience to see the sunset in Cape Sounion. The Temple of Poseidon was also amazing. It feels like travelling back in time.

Beautifil place, sight along the coastline was beautiful as well. But the driving to and fro is quite tiring. Especially when we encounter a massive jam on the way back to Athens. Took us about 4-5 hours on the return trip. But it should be a one off incident. Basically it is a longs drive out to see a few pillar and the sunset. For some it may be too much, but for me, I am guessing since I am here. Might as well do it.

My partner wasn’t feeling well on the day that we booked. I spoke the manager and he moved us to the following day at no extra cost. As I had nothing to do that day he offered me complimentary access to walking tour which was great. Really appreciated them going above and beyond. Would recommend using them. The tour guide on the coach was informative and fun.

Basically, it's the cost of taking a bus to see the sunset, which isn't too expensive, but if you book a tour in Athens city center, it'll probably only cost about 25 euros. You'll arrive at the location pretty early, so it's recommended to bring some food to eat, otherwise the wait will be quite long. Buying a ticket on-site costs 20 euros, which you'll need to pay separately.

Review for: Join-In Tour with Entry Ticket

It was an amazing place to see the sunset. The travel time was longer than the stay in the Temple of Poseidon but it was worth the trip. The guide and the driver were very professional and kind. I missed my pickup time though so I called up the office and I was able to catch the bus. Please check your email and expect that pick up time and place will be different from what you booked.

Great tour and good tour guide who explain the history about the place and around it. Transport was comfortable too and receptionists were kind to answer my questions. Just note the departure time which vary according to sunset timing.

Excellent day trip and fantastic guide! Love the story told regarding the Temple of Poseidon and the amount of free time is just right.

Review for: Join-in archaeological site tour

Klook just provided transport to the view point. The charge is basically a transfer fee. There is little explaination on the site by the guide. She just informed us where is the resturant, WC , the view point, meeting point and meeting time. At least she is professional in ensuring the missing passager in on board before departing to Athens.
