It is very easy to purchase tickets and navigate the different stops. Good information shared during the tour about the different places.
There are many languages to choose from when they give you the ear phones. Historical facts were interesting Lots of stops. Sometimes it was not reliably on time. Some of the employees were incredibly friendly and helpful while others seemed annoyed. If you’re working with the public you should be patient. People taking the bus are not familiar with the city and need help. I liked that we could sit on top. The bottom was good to get out of the sun but air conditioning wasn't always running. The map was mostly good but one part was confusing to someone who’s never been to Athens

We got on at the Fresh Hotel. The first 3 stops we sat for 5-10 minutes!!! Saw very little until after the 5th stop. It got so hot on top we had to move below. WHY would a tour bus put stickers on the windows to block the view?!?!
Was excited to explore Athens but the city is very overcrowded, motorcycles scooters weaving in and out. The bus seemed to pass some monuments at least 3 times. Aircon sketchy downstairs. Too hot to sit for 90 mins top deck even with shelter. Wouldn't recommend if a cruise stop.
At every stop we were greeted and helped. We knew where we were at all times. The guides even pulled us into the shade to stay cool. We were told when the next bus was arriving. All guides and drivers were polite and helpful.

Perfect tour for our layover in Athens. We got to see all the major spots in Athens and by riding the bus we were able to really see the city streets and locals in action. We meet at the first stop on the tour and received a voucher for a free beer inside Public and we had a chance to use the restroom also before the start of the tour. Loved the hop on and off option. It’s about a 20 min wait between buses. Definitely recommend.
