Excellent value for money, we did the city tour several times! - We loved this way to see the city and riviera. We did the city loop several times using several of the stops. There were guides at the busy stops like Omonia and Acropolis to help explain how it worked. We also did the Pireaus and Gylfada the following day to see the riviera, fortunately it was sunny and beautiful even in November. Excellent value for money with discounts for buying online in advance.

a good way to get your bearings - A great way to see the sights and get your bearings in the city. Takes a while to get around though - sitting in traffic. Therefore made the bus late for pick up times too.

No better way to see a city! - The buses were clean and well maintained. They were very frequent and timely and employees were present at all major stops to help and advise as needed. The coverage and audio was informative and educational. Overall, it was a totally satisfactory experience.

Cheap but less frequent buses - Although it covers the same spots, the frequency of the buses are every 30 minutes for the city and much more for the other lines. It was cheap but that impacts the frequency of the buses.

If you are on a tight... - If you are on a tight schedule this may not work well for you cos the wait times are long. The audio tour is not in sync with the places of interest. At this price point tho it's a great overall experience to get a good view of the place as long as you don't hop off cos the wait times are long to hop back in.:)

Don’t use Viatar - Horrible experience. We have booked several events with you in Athens,Greece this week and if the entire week goes like this, we will never use Viatar again and warn as many people as possible not to as well. and to catch a hop on hop off bus. The instructions were very misleading. When we finally called , someone told us to look for the sign for the bus company(Greyline) which did not exist at the pick up point. Here are the vague, confusing and misleading instructions from YOUR email. “Departure point: Syntagma Square” “ Cruise Ships Terminal” “ address: 2, Syntagma Square” Hop-on hop-off tour with stops near cruise port Times are subject to change due to local traffic conditions” Who could figure out where to find the bus. We were NO WHERE NEAR-any cruise port, the was no sign at this location that stated Grayline. Worst experience we have ever had.

Worst Bus Tour ever! - When I visit a new city I often jump on a bus tour to get the lay of the land and discover places of interest and listen to the interesting commentary about specific landmarks. The Gray Line bus tour in Athens certainly did not tick any of those boxes. The commentary was out of sync with the tour and you were left wondering where the landmarks were. That’s if it worked at all, as it seemed at times to give the same information twice. The tour itself felt very rushed, we appeared to be speeding through the City at a rate of knots. I appreciate that the tour has a timetable to adhere to, but with the traffic as it is in Athens, perhaps it needs to be revised. I am left feeling that I have wasted precious time on this bus tour.
