It’s a great way to get an overview of some of the main features of Athens. It also gives you an opportunity to choose the places you want to explore more in depth and then return on the bus to your next destination. Overall, very worthwhile.
Had a great experience. We joined up at the Acropolis and hopped on and off from there. We had no issues using our pre-purchased tickets. Athens was a great city to do this experience. Was on a cruise and booked independently, which worked out great.
Great way to see Athens! We were given headphones which allowed us to select the language of choice to see what we were passing.

Buses stopped at all the major points of interest. Hot time of the year (late July) so the Buses struggled to keep the passengers cool.

This bus tour takes you to the major attractions; but, there are not much photo opportunity on the bus. You need to get off the bus and walk around the major site to take great photos. This tour is very convenient and you save some money getting to your destination.
Very good especially trying to keep out of the heat, managed to see most of what we wanted to see, good choice of routes

Not what we expected. We have done HOHO in several cities around the world and this one did not come close to others we have done (Barcelona, London). It would have been cheaper and faster to take a taxi from the cruise port. Definitely would never do it again and would tell others not to do it. I gave it 4 star since they at least let us take our luggage. Otherwise, 3.
