    Nice way to get an overview of the area and sites to visit during our stay. We planned to pick up the bus along the route after having taken a cab to a specific site. It was difficult to locate exactly where the pick-up point was; the map provided does not give enough detail to find the stop. We finally did find it after wandering around a bit. The bus arrived about 10 minutes later than the schedule indicated.

    As Athens was very hot during our stay the Bus tour was the perfect way to see the city. The red bus has sun-protection on the top which competitors did not appear to have. We did only the athens route although piraeus would have been included, too. It was a great experience. Bring your own headphones if possible as the ones provided in the bus don't have a good sound quality

    I had a great experience touring Athens with your bus. We switched buses at some point and I got to see more of Athens on your double decker bus. Our tour driver was very pleasant. He suggested we climbed the rock to take good pictures at the Acropolis then join the bus afterwards. I’m glad I did that because I saw Athens from a beautiful view. I had such a great time!
