My trip to Athens lasted only 3 days, but it was outstanding! On the first day we visited the ancient Agora during the morning, and from mid-afternoon the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sunius. Acropolis tickets included everything (except the museum): from the Parthenon to the Theater of Dionysus. I strongly recommend going to see the Acropolis very early, such as at 8 o'clock or a half hour before opening, otherwise you will find a lot of tourists as happened to me. Then again, the Temple of Poseidon is the Acropolis only the most visited places in all of Greece. As for the Temple of Poseidon, it all went perfectly! From the very nice and helpful guide, the relaxing bus ride to the spectacle the temple had to offer. It was very windy, both at the Acropolis and Cape Sunio, but the weather was still great! As for the service in general, it was really excellent, accurate and fun. I highly recommend this ticket if you want to have a beautiful memory of Greece!

Sotiris was an amazing tour guide. He was very kind, fun and knowledgeable and Georgios (spelling?) was an excellent driver. Poseidon's Temple was a vey cool site with amazing views. Definitely recommend!

The views were great, smooth drive there and no issues once there. However pick up point wasn't clear - went to the office that morning to confirm - the information provided by HeadOut was out of date. Pick up is from the office only.

The experience went great! The guide very friendly and fun, explaining interesting things along the tour. The views of Cape Sunion and the temple of Poseidon at sunset are beautiful. The entrance fee is paid separately, it is 20€ which is worth paying once there.

I loved how knowledgeable the staff were and giving us facts I probably wouldn't have known without. While driving to destinations they gave us facts around Athens as well. Along with the bus driver they kept us on schedule and made sure everyone was always accounted for. I did the earliest trip and it was still a little crowded but that is to be expected. We also had some time to wander around alone and take pictures. I liked having the option of including entry and skipping that long line.

The kindness and availability of the tour leader. The curiosity about Athen, its buildings, its neiborhood during the trip to Poseidon Temple.

Hop on hop off interesting over 1 day, but not 2, as there was too much waiting at certain stops ... we preferred to return from glyfada by tram/metro (€1.90/pers). Cape Sounion is a great way to round off a day, but don't forget the 20€/pers for access to Poseidon's temple and ... the sunset is pretty, even if it's everywhere in the world!
