5.00Nice way to see the city safely and without a lot of walking! The bus had air conditioning and was comfortable. Great price, too.

5.00Great way to get around and see the main attractions. You can get off the bus at any stop to explore the area or attractions in more detail like taking a tour.
The experience was not so...

3.00The experience was not so great overall not due to the bus service itself but mainly attributed to the heavily congested traffic in the Athens route. So essentially all hop on hop off buses all face the same issue.
Left us stranded

1.00The bus left us stranded in Athens Waited for over 1 hour and no bus came so we had to take a taxi to get us back to ship on time. Worst part was they denied any delays even though the locals were telling us they could not get through due to a festival we were not warned about
Stay an extra day

5.00It is a comfortable way to get to know the entire city. Good audio guide in many languages. If you are going to visit the Acropolis, it drops you just a few meters from the entrance.
Touring the city

5.00The bus was the best way to navigate the city. All signs are in Greek so difficult to know where to hop off. The translations helped a lot. Its too far to walk from some sites to the next because its very crowded and there are so many small streets.
Learn from my mistake, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

1.00STAY AWAY!!!!!! They are horrible communicators. Took bus from port to acropolis. Got there at 10:30, without pre purchased tickets the soonest we could enter was 1:00. When we exited the bus the driver repeatedly tells us that they changed the route and we need to stay on Athens bus to return to port. We get back on bus at 2:30 and spend nearly 90 minutes on bus only to return to acropolis. Halfway through I asked how much longer to port. Driver spoke little English. So a couple of stops later someone boards and tells me I’m on wrong bus and I’ll need to take 4:00 bus from acropolis 🙄. We arrive at 3:57 in the rain, as we pull up behind the bus I’m suppose to take, it pulls away. The driver yells to operator on the curb to stop it. He waves him off and says we can wait in the rain for the next one in 15 minutes. They took no responsibility for their miscommunication and put it all on us dumb tourists. STAY AWAY and book a private tour whiichbinvludes ticket prices and guided tour. Way better option and doesn’t cost much more in the end.
I could not hear clearly...

1.00I could not hear clearly through the ear buds. We were not sure when it was one of the stops or just a red light. We missed the stop for our museum and did not have the time to go all the way around again. Very disappointed.
A good view of Athens
