3.00The tour stops were limited without boarding another bus. We did see Acropolis and Temple of Zeus. One bus would be best to have all stops at ancient sites
Bad audio on ear plugs

3.00It is well organised and good service. There is an issue, the audio is terrible and you can’t understand anything.
Take another bus

1.00I gave one star because the bus ran on time and the AC is cold. If you can't go up to the upper deck, don't go with this bus. The windows are covered with film wrap, it's hard to see outside. Seats with clear windows are very few. The audio is not clear. Regretted I picked this bus.
Great

5.00Good way to see city, coast line and sights. We also loved it stopped outside our hotel which made it easy to hop on and go.
Just get a taxi

1.00Better to get a taxi. To many bus changes to get across town . It was just a lot of waiting for buses and too much sitting on the bus. We finally got a taxi to get back to our hotel
