What Other People Say About the Athens Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing Bus

The change of the guards was something we hadn't planned on seeing. Heard about it while doing the route and decided to get off near Syntagma. Glad we did.
Perfect for my mother who can't walk for hours at a time. We could see a lot, get off for the important sights and rest while moving to the next area. She really enjoyed it.
We booked it mostly for transportation but ended up enjoying the sightseeing part too. The commentary pointed out several things we would have missed.
Our first bus was quite full and we ended up sitting downstairs. Not really the experience we had in mind, but later rides were much better. I’d say it depends a lot on the time of day.
Very enjoyable from the top deck. Just take sunscreen if you're going in summer.
My sister wanted history, I wanted shopping, and my husband mostly wanted to sit down. Somehow the ticket worked for all three of us. We kept splitting the day into little sections instead of doing one big sightseeing marathon.
Did the city route one day and Riviera the next. Value for money
The open top is great in the morning and late afternoon. At 2 pm in July it was another story! Bring a hat and plenty of water.
Nice way to see the city without walking nonstop. Athens has a lot of hills and heat, so we appreciated the breaks.
Convenient to go for a swim at Voulagmeni area without having to change multiple buses. You pick it up from Plaka and it takes you directly there. Plus, you can use the ticket for 2 days unlimited.
