a beautiful place. the guide was amazing. the travel well organized. the lunch food is okay, you buy the drinks. the only issue i had was during the start of the trip. it was a bit disorganized where i had to run bus by bus looking for my tour because there will be a lot of bus in the meeting point with different meteora tours and you wont know where is yours. i recommend you go early for buffer time, look at your name in the list the drivers carry rather than asking them, coz they dont know which is which either if u just show them your ticket. otherwise, it was a fun trip. 10/10

It was a perfect day tour with no hassles. The Key tours office is a 3 minutes walk from Acropoli metro after taking the right from exit gate. The guide was super knowledgeable and she entertained us with mythological stories behind the major landmarks.

Had a pleasant experience with the tour. Meet up point is pretty easy to find. Bus ride was comfortable. be prepared to do some climbing to enter the monasteries though!

Honestly, everything was great except for the long travel time. In Athens, there are 4 hop-on/hop-off locations to choose from (with Gray Line), and the included lunch was delicious. The restaurant even offered us Greek ouzo to sample.

This Cape Sounion tour is a must-do when visiting Athens! The coastal drive is breathtaking (thanks to driver Panos), and the Temple of Poseidon at sunset is pure magic. Our guide, Maria, was phenomenal. She was friendly, enthusiastic, highly organized, and an amazing storyteller who brought the myths and history to life. She made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy the beach & views without feeling rushed. It was a flawless tour, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Athena Maria is such a jovial and enthusiastic guide, complemented by Kostas and George (Local guide) made the day enjoyable and informative. If you book this tour (which I highly recommend) make sure you listen to Athena's Greek lessons that break up the journey. Delphi is stunning and truly is the centre of the world 🌎. Amazing trip!

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.
