1.00Only found out this mórning at the port that The hop on hop off bus service has not been running for 12 months. Why do you still advertise this service??
Cancelled but turned out well anyway.

5.00Regrettably, due to a problem with the bus, the tour was cancelled, but the operator couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. We got a refund and were able to still stroll the charming little town and enjoy a beverage at the waterside. Win win!
No excursion - canceled us without notice

1.00This Hop on Hop Off is not available and has not been available for a few months. (5-17-2025) weeks asked the port authority, local venders and tried calling. Finally I was able to contacted Viator and they could not get ahold of anyone regarding this PAID tour. They should take this tour down.
More guidance needed

1.001. Don’t waste your money!!! Not a TRUE “Hop On/Off Bus”. The map they provide claims 5 stops but there were ONLY two stops. We got on from the ships port, rode about 20 mins into Pygros, there was a brief stop there mainly to pick up about 6 people and then we rode through the city (not much to see) then we rode back to Katakolon port. When complaining to the driver he advised the two church stops were closed, but the company told no one of this. There were only two stops!!! $30 bucks for 2 adults and 1 child.
I love the hop on hop off...

5.00They were very accommodating with my husband & his cane. Tour guide communicated with us throughout the tour & ensured we got back to the port safely.
NOT recommended!

2.00Katakolo had little to offer. We wish we had gone to Olympia instead. The map the hop-on hop-off gave us had street names but there were no street signs to follow. Anything with any beauty had graffiti on it. I would NOT recommend.
