The temple and views were stunning. However, an hour at location is not enough given the que to get in at the ticket desk and the long line for the toilets. It would have been much improved if the trip had been one hour longer which I would have happily paid extra for.

I have giving it an 8 but scored it individually as a 10 so perhaps I should have given it a 10! The guide was very nice, the set-up was extremely efficient and the price was excellent for what was a very nice trip out.

This was a great day tripp from Athens. Katerina really knew her subject well and we learnt so much about the Temple of Poseidon and also about the lifestyle of Athenians. We got to see the temple at sunset which was a real bonus

This is advertised as a sunset tour but time to see the sunset is limited. This partly relates to enforced closing times at the temple which meant, on the day I went, that they were closing just as the sun was setting. The most picturesque views were glimpsed between the seatbelt straps of the coach
