Easy way to explore Athens - A great way to explore Athens! The tour provides both visual and audio guides, making it easy to learn about the city as you ride. The bus stops at all the major points of interest, giving you the flexibility to hop off, explore, and catch the next bus when you’re ready. Convenient, informative, and perfect for seeing the highlights of Athens at your own pace.

Great option for seeing a city (but sound of commentary needs to be better quality) - Great option for seeing a city but wish quality of sound a bit better - very tinny and hard to listen to for long periods. Needs to be better quality. Maybe upgrade to a Bluetooth option allowing people to use their own earphones as well.

Great lay of the land - As always (we always do a hop on hop off when we arrive to get an overview) it was what we needed to get our bearings and learn about the city. Stops were a little long and the sounds was a little hard to understand as the sisters is either place overused. But overall definitely worth the money

Could have been better - I found it hard to find a bus stop on line. I had to take a taxi to the cruise docks to obtain information from a parked bus. Very disappointed in the tour information on the ear phones, and The drivers didn’t instruct guests that earphones were available, I also found some drivers were rude when seeking information about transfers to other routes.

Bad experience - Exactly the same journeys regardless of the color of the service providers. Why then include local beer in the fares and then, when we're on board, sneeringly tell us that the beer will be there tomorrow! Thieves use these extremely dishonest practices. Take the blue buses or the brown buses. At least they won't rip you off!!!

Save your money - couldn’t see out the decal covered windows - Terrible. Couldn’t see out the window due to advertising decals covering the window. The place to plug in the ear phones was too low to the ground and ear plugs weren’t long enough to reach my husband sitting in the aisle seat. It was a waste of money - couldn’t see and could not listen to the advertised audio tour.
