Good way to see Athens and then go back to places of interest. - A comprehensive and easy way to navigate Athens' major sites. Timely transfers between the Athens City, Beach, and Piraeus itinerary lines so you can get a good overview of Athens.

Cheaper than Cruise ship prices! - Typical Hop On Hop Off experience. Cruise ship prices are higher and offer little more than Viator. In fact the cruise ship was probably more of a hassle given the lines and waiting that we experienced at other ports 9n the cruise ship tours.

Perfect bus, description of places to see again! - We only had one day to visit Athens. Despite the rain, the Hop on Hop buses offered us the protection we needed to enjoy a very pleasant city tour. However, the description of historic sites would need to be reviewed. There is much more to say about Athens and ancient Greece than has been presented to us.

Great option for seeing a city (but sound of commentary needs to be better quality) - Great option for seeing a city but wish quality of sound a bit better - very tinny and hard to listen to for long periods. Needs to be better quality. Maybe upgrade to a Bluetooth option allowing people to use their own earphones as well.

Bad experience - Exactly the same journeys regardless of the color of the service providers. Why then include local beer in the fares and then, when we're on board, sneeringly tell us that the beer will be there tomorrow! Thieves use these extremely dishonest practices. Take the blue buses or the brown buses. At least they won't rip you off!!!
