Joy Ride with pretty sights

Please get there early enough for a seat in the open top. The lights are on the entire time so when attempting to take pictures through the window, you will see everyone's reflection. The operator was great! He was patient, kind, and knowledgeable.

It got a little confusing which places were which during the tour that weren’t well known. Definitely easy to board and on time.

Tough to give review when we were 5,800 miles away.

It’s tough to say since we thought we were booking for August 23 - when we will actually be in Athens - not the day the system booked for us for July 9 when we were still back in the USA. We asked that thie cost be reimbursed but have yet to hear back.

Best way to view Acropolis at night time

A great way to see the city of Athens at night. The lights are beautiful, especially when you get to the Acropolis.

Not great, but still fun to see Athens at night.

Driver was very friendly and helpful - He was great. But the recorded audio guide was very low quality... The British lady reading the script sounded like she was reading it for the first time, with very strange rhythms and cadences, and it looped / repeated itself several times. Once or twice, the driver spoke to us, but it seemed to always be when the recording was also speaking, so, though we'd rather have listened to a live, local human being, we couldn't really hear him. Plus, his intercom system was awful, often blaring static when he attempted to talk to us. These are all first world problems, I know, and it's not the end of the world that the recording wasn't great, but it was so poor at times, that my kids and I were laughing about it.

The sound system was horrible! I did enjoy the ride and seeing different parts of Athens. But….. not being able to hear anything everywhere was a mystery as to what each area was!!!!

The evening bus tour...

The evening bus tour moves fairly fast through the itinerary points so we weren’t able to take nice pictures until the last stop at Acropolis. They did a 5 mins stop. Overall it was an okay tour!

An ok experience

Experience ok - toured all points of interest but audio guide just the one used for the day hop on / hop off so would get repeat descriptions if you went down the same road, which we did a few times. Tour was about 55 minutes so less than expected. Tour bus driver friendly and helpful. We were able to board the bus 20 minutes before start.
