Athens night bus tour - Upsetting because they overbooked the bus and had us seated inside the bus instead of the rooftop to see the landmarks. Sitting inside the bus basically means your experience is much more limited because the views are less clear and somewhat obstructed.

Technical Difficulties- no apology - Trip was 8.15pm so we decided to eat after which was a bit late but we decided it would be ok. We were kept waiting 45mins and only in the last few minutes told we needed a new bus. This was chaos as people had arrived ages early to get front seats but now didn’t and girl organising should have told everyone to sit in same seats but she avoided!! Finished trip at 10 so starving , wrong bus so commentary different so could barely hear .

Disappointing - Bit disappointing. The sound was terrible so was hard to understand what the guide was saying. There was terrible traffic which is beyond the control of the tour company but we were sat still for long periods of time breathing in a lot of car fumes. It was also a bit of a bun fight to get on the bus so would be good for it to be better organised. But gave us a useful basic tour of the city to help us get our bearings.

Disappointed - Incredibly difficult to hear the your guide. I listened to the recorded option but it obviously didn't tell you about things as you passed them in real time. You do get to go by loads of places that are neat but it could be better.

Castrastrophic - Run away! The audio-visual guide with comments in French are distressing. 4 times the grave of the unknown soldier, who actually became very well known, of the promised 90 minutes in 1 hour (no jet lag) and the highlight of the show, the stop at the foot of the acropolis zapped by a driver too rushed. I'm sorry!

Money wasted. A waste of time - The tour is of the least interesting, the “points of interest” are a mockery to the tourist. The audio guide heard an account inconsistent with the tour; the words of the guide also did not contribute much to the experience. With so many points of interest in Athens, this tour is a fiasco

There was a delayed bus... - There was a delayed bus due to an issue. I had a problem getting access to my tickets online. The tour was boring and hard to hear the operator.

To be avoided - Disappointing tour, the audio guide does not match the bus route at all and the sound quality is poor. Reduced visibility inside the bus
