Great way to see Athens! Stops were easy to find
Last shuttle from stop one is at 18:30 (6:30 PM). Stops are not well publicized until you get to one and you can pick up a map. We purchased all lines for 3 days but only used 1 day because the first day we didn’t get there until after 6:30. Also no place to store luggage on the way to the port so we couldn’t use the bus to get to the port.

R his is a very nice option for solo travelers and for those who want to see everything in an affordable price. Also the free beer is amazing with the summer weather.
The Hop-On Hop-Off bus in Athens was absolutely worth the money! It was a convenient and stress-free way to see the city’s top attractions while learning about the history along the way. One of my favorite features was the free Wi-Fi onboard, which made it easy to look up information about the sites, navigate, and stay connected while sightseeing. The buses were comfortable, easy to use, and allowed us to explore at our own pace by getting on and off whenever we wanted. If you’re visiting Athens and want an affordable, flexible way to see the city, I highly recommend this tour.

Unfortunately, the buses were completely overcrowded. We had to let two buses pass before we could even get on. This caused a lot of valuable vacation time to be lost. For the high ticket price, we would have expected better organization and more buses in operation. The tour itself is interesting, but the long waiting times significantly dampened the experience. I would not recommend the provider during the high season.
We booked this tour which included the 3 different routes. We did the red bus which was ok and then decided to do the purple one. We were then charged another 5 euros as the fellow at the stop said we weren’t entitled to both ! I was sure we had paid for the three. All I can say about the purple bus trip is that I would have preferred to watch paint dry, it was the most boring trip I have ever done. There were 4 of us on the bus at the end and all the others had obviously done it so they could get to the beach.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your City Sightseeing Athens experience did not meet your expectations. We regret the confusion regarding your ticket and the additional charge you were asked to pay. This is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have, and we understand how frustrating it must have been if the ticket inclusions were not clearly explained. We will share your comments with our local team so they can review what happened and ensure that ticket information is communicated more clearly. We are also sorry that you did not enjoy the Purple Route. Our Hop-On Hop-Off Athens tours are designed to offer visitors the opportunity to explore different areas of the city and its surroundings at their own pace, but we understand that every traveler has different expectations and interests. We appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve both our service and the overall sightseeing experience. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention.
A brilliant way to see all the main attractions in Athens, at your leisure. We booked tickets for the day we disembarked from our cruise, and did 2 of the 3 routes, stopping off at sites we wanted to look at in more detail. Great open topped buses, and fab narration. Would highly recommend!
