It was okay maybe I chose the long line. - There were only about 3 good stops. And I certainly would not book this for 2 days like I did. I was also not offered headsets when I arrived or even told they were available.

No bus - There was no bus at the Port when I tried to board. We waited at least 30 minutes and no bus arrived. We then bought 15 euro tickets on different bus

Hop on Hop off Buses in Athens - There were three options. We went on a blue bus. It broke down and after a wait we transferred to another bus which stopped and unloaded us all at the Acropolis instead of carrying on round. We went on the bus when we arrived. Tickets last for 2 days so we were able to orientate ourselves on the first day and then do the hop on hop off bit the second day visiting the changing of the guard (every hour on the hour) - a great choreographed spectacle; the Plaka - the old town (we ate there but would recommend Omonia Square - the Omonia Grill. Also visited the Acropolis of course. The Gray (coloured yellow) buses didn't seem anywhere as frequent. The red buses seemed very frequent and popular. Another time we'd go red!
