Athens Super Saver: Acropolis Walking Tour plus Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon Half-Day Trip

Excellent tour. Very nicely organised and on time. Both the guides were super and had excellent knowledge of Greek history.

The morning walking tour was excellent, especially because our guide Dora! She was astounding. It was like being transported in time. The Acropolis is magnificent, as well as the views from Cape Sounion. I recommend this tour.

We had an excellent walking tour of many beautiful places in Athens with Eleni. She kept a good pace that wasn't too fast and kept us informed of the sights as we went along. There was ample time for photo taking along the way. At the Acropolis we were given the tour and the history before being given time to ourselves to further explore and take pictures. The afternoon trip to Cape Sounion was very scenic and the Temple of Poseidon was breathtaking to behold. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

An outstanding experience! Be prepared for lots of walking and strenuous hiking on narrow walkways and slippery marble. Go anytime other than the summer as it becomes very crowded then. Carry water with you! It was remarkable to see the Acropolis lit up at night! It was a remarkable experience! I think they should sell t-shirts saying, “I climbed the Acropolis”!!!

1st part: Our walking tour was replaced with the bus tour due to the weather... We were offered to prepay €10 per person for the tickets to the Acropolis and €15 per person for the museum... We did. Well, the Acropolis entrance did cost €10 per person, however museum was only €4... And we did not spend much time there - we just kind of ran through and was not given the opportunity to explore on our own. Tour guide was nice and knowledgeable. When we got back to the tour provider I asked why we were charged almost 4 times more for the tickets and the reply was to cover tour guide time (?!)... Also we completely missed the guard change ceremony and were told to go and see it ourself... No water were provided on the tour (just an FYI)... And after this part of the tour we were told to go and find something to eat and be back in 50 minute for the second part of the tour...2nd part: Trip to the Cape Sunion:When we got back to the tour operator we boarded the bus and a different tour guide joined us. It took us around 1.5 hours to get there. And maybe 30 (?!) minutes there... as there are not much to see in that location: small historical side with the ruins of one building and 10 minutes of comments from the tour guide and a few pictures and nice view on the sea and... nothing else. We definitely expected MUCH MORE! Spending 3 hours in the bus in order to see almost nothing for 30 minutes in my opinion is complete waist. I should have done a better research... Oh, well. They should call this a "Half Day Napping Tour" because we spent more time napping on the bus than learning or seeing anything. We were definitely disappointed.

This was a fun filled day of learning Greek history and seeing important sights both in Athens and south of Athens. The guides were very informative and I learned a lot about what happened here thousands of years ago. I am not sure which part I enjoyed best as both were great!

The walking tour was great. Our guide was informative and open to any questions us tourists had. The National Garden was okay. Not much to see there. It doesn't look well kept, but it was nice to walk in the shade for a bit. The highlight of the walking tour for me was the Acropolis. Our guide provided information on all the structures before leaving us to wander on our own. For the Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon half-day trip, the ride to Cape Sounion was absolutely beautiful. The drive takes you along the coast and the views are unbelievable. Cape Sounion is breathtaking. It was very windy, but gorgeous. My only negative with this trip was the tour guide, unfortunately. I regrettably can't remember her name, but it must be said that it was extremely difficult to understand her. Her heavy accent and the manner in which she spoke made any chance of absorbing any historical facts a wash. However, the views made up for it.

Our guide for the Acropolis walking tour was inexperienced and started losing people half way, near the end nearly everyone left the tour early. Acropolis was crowded and I found the video at the Acropolis Musuem next door did even better job explaining the the site. The Cap Sounion tour was a driving tour really with only stop at the Temple of Poseidon. Overall not worth the money for either part.
