Great Overview of Athens

5.00These buses gave us a great overview of Athens and the surrounding area. It was a lot easier than using public transportation because we always had a map in hand. We even were able to get to the cruise port on one of the routes, which was very useful. Employees at the various stops were always helpful.
It was ok

3.00Good mode of transportation but it would be more helpful if they actually had a human being talking about the different places/sites. Been on several hope on and hop of your buses but I can't say this was the best
It is a great way to see...

5.00It is a great way to see Athens, without having to worry about traffic. And it very reasonably priced. I highly recommend it.
Hella M.E.P.E was awful!

1.00Bus did neither arrive at location I called and confirmed (Marriott/Planetarium) as a point of pickup nor at the time specified (2:45 pm). Two times a bus drove by at a speed that clearly revealed it was not stopping while the competition (Big Bus &City Sightseeing) stopped twice. I called office again and was told one was on the way in 15 minutes. It arrived 45 minutes later. No ear phones or map was provided by the driver when we boarded so no narration was available for that segment. We transfered to the Athens tour route Acropolis stop) to a new bus for the Athens tour route and again no earphones or map were provided. The final insult was when we returned to the Acropolis transfer point to go back to the Marriott/Planetarium (Pierius route) we were told by an employee (shaved head but to very long hair braided hair strands) to wait next to a waiting bus. We stood next to that bus for 30 minutes when I saw that same employee drive up in another bus.I then asked him if that bus was going to take us and he went and talked to the driver of the other bus and, after they clearly had a heated exchange, he told us that at that point in the day (after 5:00 pm) they were a “private company and only were now only taking cruise ship passengers”! Needless to say we took a cab to our Marriott hotel ($25 European).
Convenient for getting around

3.00The bus was very hot. If there was air conditioning it wasn’t working. Some buses have a shade on top some don’t.
