Not a good start. After waiting 90 minutes for a bus to arrive, we were informed by another traveler that the busses were not running because much of the Athens city center roads were shut down due to a bicycle race. Even though this was not the operators fault, it would have been helpful to post a notice on their kiosk stops or a rep available to inform customers. Once the roads were reopened after 12:30, the buses resumed their route but we're overcrowed.

Excellent in every way. We were able to see all the major attractions in the City. The commentary on the headset was very good as well.

This was a great way to see lots of sites in a short amount of time! Very easy to negotiate as buses were available every 15 minutes.

Easy and a good way to see the sights. We did the Athens loop. If we had more time we would have done another loop.

Highly recommend doing this because of the ease of access and bus drivers are mostly friendly and will even drop you off close or at your destination with request.

Easy comfortable way to see the city! Plenty of photography opportunities! The Tour agent at station 6 by Parliament was fabulous! So friendly, personable and professional, so helpful to these tourists. Her name is Lottie and she is delightful. A great representative for your company and your city. Highly recommend.

The tour itself was good…BUT we had to wait quite a while for a bus, which we couldn’t get on as it was full, so we then had to wait again for the next one.

This presents a nice overview of the major Athens points of interest. It is a good activity to do when you first arrive in Athens and are too jet lagged to do more rigorous activities. The audio tour is sometimes hard to hear because of static. Occasionally the traffic moves very slowly but that is not the fault of this company.

We used the Hopon/Hopoff bus to get around to the main attractions of Athens since we only had one day. It was very convenient. Nothing bad to say about it.

We had a lovely time on the hop-on hop-off bus in Athens! It was such an enjoyable and easy way to see the city’s highlights. The routes were well planned, the stops convenient, and the views from the top deck were fantastic. It was wonderful being able to explore at our own pace and then hop back on whenever we were ready. A relaxing and fun way to experience the beauty and history of Athens!
