Try to do early and have a plan for specific sites. Bring water, snacks and do not get frustrated by traffic because its all part of the experience.

Our experience was amazing!! Not only was the route perfect but I left my wallet on the bus by mistake and when I realized I called the customer service number and spoke to a lovely woman who said she would alert the possible drivers based on my route and track it down for me. She asked me to call back in 10 min and she would have an update. As promised she not only had an update but George X (driver) had found it and gave it to a manager who would have it waiting for me to pick up. I got the wallet back easily at the agreed upon stop and all contents of the wallet were there. Thank you George!!

The buses were coming real fast. The route is very good. Highly recommended to do a quick route around the ancient places, shopping areas

Easy to use, went around twice, was a great way to sightsee without getting too hot in the streets..

Enjoyed the experience, however, Athens is very busy with traffic, so be prepared that at certain times of the day, the journey may take longer. The audio could have been louder as sometimes it was hard to hear what was being said.

Busses came frequently and stopped at all the major points. Audio was great and moved perfectly with the ride.

This kind of bus is great for getting around a city at the start of a trip to familiarise yourself with the landmarks. There was not a beer included as advertised.

The sightseeing is a must if you want to chill, not rush, and have a good city ride in the bus. The audio guide doesn't quite work, mine had one earpiece working and not the other, and it doesn't seem to follow the stops made. However, for a relaxing no time constraint ride, it's good.

Just great and good value for money and very regular service. Never waited long at each stop, so many interesting sites

Quality of headsets were very poor. Suggest customers bring their own. Also maps should be available on boarding. Otherwise very good
