Very convinient that they pick us up at the port. First bus did not have the audio working. But the 2nd bus was good. Love all the main areas of stop.

Accessing the bus from the port is very easy. There was some question about the tickets I had downloaded and we had to stand in a confusing line to obtain a "tiny receipt". Using a small receipt is the only way to board the bus again. It is a good way to see the city, but the stops did not match the brochure, or what is listed on Viator website. The audio also did not match the bus route and is geared more for school children, not adults. There is no guide available on the bus for questions & the bus driver was less than thrilled about answering questions. At one point, everyone was asked to leave the bus & board another one. The second bus was full, so we were told to wait for about 30 minutes until another bus arrived.

Not worth the money. Bus 37 costs 0.6 euro and will bring you to the upper city back and forth. Nothing else to see besides that.

Great day out. Excellent guide & driver. Meteora lived up to photos I have seen. Amazing place but very crowded.Lunch stop was good . Enjoyable day.

We frequently use this service as due to limited mobility this is an excellent way to see a city that I would not see otherwise. We thought the price was reasonable. The commentary was a little Corney but as a means of navigating the city highlights it cannot be bea. Busy on cruise days it actually runs this service from the cruise pirt too.t

Our mistake was not taking this tour the first day we arrived and as such we had already seen most of the places of interest. To get value for your €16 tickets, plan to make this a whole day event. Starting st the White Tower, there are 8 stops. The bus comes around every 30minutes and you only need to spend 25minutes in the likes of the Rotunda, the churches or Aristotle square whereas the castle needs more time. You can find coffee shops, snacks and restaurants at every stop.

I do not recommend the trip, the bus only stops at the first two stops, then goes to the starting stop. Only the starting stop is marked. The audio guide is impossible to listen to, terrible translation.

I usually will use Hop On Hop Off buses when visiting a new city. It gives a good overview of the popular sites for a very reasonable price. The only negative is some of the buses have window wrap that makes it more difficult to see on the first floor. Luckily, the upper floor had a roof to shelter from the hot sun.
