Didn’t get to do this tour since the meeting location wasn’t where we were originally told. Been trying to resolve with tour operator but can’t reach them.

We chose this bus line because the hotel recommended it to us. Not a great experience. Partly because Athens is so congested, it can take ages to travel from place to place by bus. The route loops back on itself a couple of times so can seem repetitive and drawn out but it is a good way of getting the lie of the land of course. You might be better off taking the underground and walking as the centre and tourist areas are quite close together, if able. The commentary is OK, but could be more extensive given the time spent dwelling in solid traffic on unattractive roads. The non-stop Greek music and repetitive adverts can get a little wearing. We bought the 2 day Athens plus Beach/Riviera line. Buy the Beach/Riviera line only if you want to lie on a beach or eat by the sea, otherwise there's not much to see but apartments, shops and construction on the journey. Also very very windy on the top deck (and exposed in rain) in early/late months so take something warm. We did have a great lunch (at Yalos) and then returned to Athens. On a Friday the journey took ages in the rush hour from 1600, not helped by chilly rain and uncomfortable seats. Rather grim. Depending on where you get on, the buses can get busy. While the departure times on the map/leaflet were helpful, some important instructions were lacking: - ear phones were not routinely offered when boarding for the first time (they're available on the buses dashboard). They're mono, so you only need to pop one in. - the free 'unlimited wifi' code is not evident anywhere (I never located it) - the right channel for the language you needed was not evident (had to ask) More notices inside the bus would help with the above. Lastly, very disappointed to learn that the plastic earphones are not recyclable and go to straight landfill (I was laughed at when I suggested this). How many earphones per year must that be across all the bus tour operators across the world? They need a sustainable option fast please. If you have time, check out the other operators before booking.

Quite like the hop on/off bus tours. I understand it’s important tho keep the paper ticket, but I was pick pocketed in Athens and my purse stolen out of my bag . In spite of documentary online evidence that we had a 3 day ticket and the date it commenced, absolutely no understanding of our situation . It was obvious we were still within out time period, but city sightseeing were adamant. Poor show

Great way to get around to all the best places in Athens! Did the 48 hour 3 line pass. Worth every penny.

Pragmatic way of visiting Athens when you only have one or two days. Three different lines are touring around the city to show you the best parts with the possibility of stepping down where you want
