The red hop on hop off bus was easy to use and allowed my partner and I to spend as much or as little time at each location. The ear buds worked to hear history regarding each location on our way. We did not ride the whole tour, but what we did ride and see we enjoyed!
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience with the City Sightseeing Athens Hop-On Hop-Off Bus. It’s lovely to hear that the service gave you and your partner the freedom to decide how much time to spend at each stop and that the onboard audio worked well for you.
Even though you didn’t complete the entire route, we’re glad that the part of Athens you explored with us made a positive impression. We hope the tour also helped you discover a few places you’d like to return to on your next visit. 😊
City Sightseeing Athens Team
The Hop On Hop Off bus is an excellent way to see all off the highlights of the city. We did two days - the first to get an overview and the second to get on and off at the sights that we wanted to visit.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for sharing this! Using the bus over two days sounds like a fantastic way to experience Athens — first getting a feel for the city as a whole, and then taking your time at the places that caught your interest.
We love that you made the most of the Hop-On Hop-Off format and used it to shape the visit around your own plans. It’s exactly the kind of flexibility that makes sightseeing easier when there is so much to see. 😊
City Sightseeing Athens Team
Such a great way to start off in a new city. We do this every occasion we travel where there is a hop on bus. Helps you get the lay of the city and go from there. Try to do it on your first or second day there.

Good way to get between places but the traffic was crazy. My back got a bit sore sitting for so long.

Worth the money but thought I was buying for all three lines. Need to pay extra to see more than one line. The red line is the only one worth it we thought

You cannot see out of the windows if you’re sitting in the lower level of the bus. There are decals on the outside of the windows that block your view.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback for City Sightseeing Athens, Piraeus & Beach Riviera Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tours.
Thank you for letting us know about your experience on the lower level of our open-top bus.
We are sorry to hear you could not enjoy the views properly from your seat due to the decals on the outside of the windows.
Our buses feature our City Sightseeing branding for visibility around the city, but we completely understand that this should not compromise the panoramic experience inside, especially on the lower deck. Your comment is very valuable and we have shared it with our operations team in Athens to review the visibility from the lower level.
For the best 360º panoramic views we always recommend our open-top upper deck when weather allows, but we want both levels to offer a great sightseeing experience.
Thank you for your constructive feedback which helps us improve our bus tour.

Usual roam around town with earplugs. Route chosen seem repetitive and we did cover the same areas twice.
Did not enjoy as we were mainly stuck in traffic. The stop we were at was announced by the driver but it was quite loud and hard to understand
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Thank you William for your review "Not to standard experienced in other cities" for City Sightseeing Athens, Piraeus & Beach Riviera Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tours and for sharing your experience on our bus.
We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the tour as you have in other cities and that you found the route repetitive, covering the same areas twice and spending a lot of time in traffic. We understand this affected the enjoyment of the tour. We are also sorry that the stop announcements by the driver were loud and difficult to understand.
We have transferred your comments directly to our operations team in Athens to review the itinerary of the bus lines you took that day, the traffic management in the city centre, and the audio system and PA announcements inside the bus to ensure the stop information is clear and at the correct volume.
Thank you for your feedback, it helps us improve our bus service.

Always book the 72 hours ticket. It is convenient to use instead of spending a lot on taxi even after you finished all the loops/lines. Wear sun protection if you plan to stay on the open top deck. The staff are super friendly and helpful.

Our bus was very crowded. Had to wait for another bus because no seating at one stop. Sat up top and a tree branch whacked a kid in front of us that wasn't looking. Wear a hat, take water because it is hot and sunny. The recording was not in sync with the speed our bus was going. I have experienced many hop on hop off in other cities that were wonderful. This one was disappointing. Maybe because we had done a private tour the day before that covered all the areas and it was amazing. Feeling a bit underwhelmed after this tour.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Dear Julie, thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback for City Sightseeing Athens, Piraeus & Beach Riviera.
We are truly sorry to hear that you felt disappointed and underwhelmed, especially as you have experienced many hop-on hop-off tours in other cities that were wonderful. That is absolutely not the experience we want you to have with us in Athens.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of finding the bus very crowded and having to wait for another bus because there was no seating at one stop. We understand how frustrating this can be, especially in the heat. We are reviewing our frequency on busy days to reduce waiting times.
We are also very sorry to hear about the incident with the tree branch on the upper deck and that a kid in front of you was hit. Your safety is our absolute priority, and we have shared your comment with our operations and drivers team in Athens to reinforce attention to vegetation along the route and to remind guests to be aware on the top deck. Thank you for your tip for future guests to wear a hat and take water because it is hot and sunny in summer. That is great advice for Athens.
We also apologize that the recording was not in sync with the speed your bus was going. We have shared this with our technical team to check the synchronization of our audio system.
We appreciate that after an amazing private tour the day before that covered all the areas, this tour may have felt less special, but we still would have liked to make it a great experience for you.
Thank you again for your detailed feedback, it helps us to improve where it matters most. We hope you will give City Sightseeing another chance in another city.

Open top bus but the roof was closed. Hard to look up to see the sites compared to our recent Barcelona experience. The weather was a perfect 26C so no excuse having the roof closed.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Dear Shane, thank you for your feedback for City Sightseeing Athens, Piraeus & Beach Riviera.
We sincerely apologize that on the day of your tour the bus was operating with the roof closed, despite it being an open-top bus and perfect 26C weather. We completely understand your disappointment and that it was hard to look up to see the sites, especially compared to your recent experience in Barcelona.
This is not the experience we want to provide, particularly on a beautiful day. Please be assured that we have shared your comments with our local operations team in Athens to review why the roof was closed on that day and to ensure our open-top experience is available whenever weather conditions allow.
Thank you again for choosing City Sightseeing and for bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back on board for a true open-top experience very soon.

It gives a good overall idea of the city and some basic history. It was very hot so I advice riders to bring a hat if the top deck is not covered. The downstairs back area smells like diesel fumes, so avoid that.
Earbud system was decent, but bring your own, as i had a few nad ones.

We arrived at the designated pickup point in Piraeus and waited for the hop-on hop-off bus as instructed. While we were there, we contacted the operator and checked the live bus tracking, but no bus arrived during the time we waited.
After spending a significant amount of time at the stop, we eventually had to give up and pay for alternate transportation so we could continue our day in Athens. That was frustrating enough, but the most disappointing part came afterward.
We requested a refund through Viator and explained exactly what happened. We provided the details of our experience and the fact that we were at the correct pickup location, yet our refund request was denied. We then asked for the decision to be reviewed again, and the refund was denied a second time.
Greece was beautiful and we enjoyed our time in Athens, but this particular service experience was extremely disappointing. If you book this tour, I strongly recommend checking the live tracking before waiting at a stop and having a backup transportation plan.
We showed up and followed the instructions, but we did not receive the service we expected.

Dear Nick, thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback on Viator for City Sightseeing Athens, Piraeus & Beach Riviera Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tours.

We understand how frustrating this is, especially while trying to enjoy your day in Athens.
We are also sorry to learn that your refund request through Viator was denied, even after a second review.
Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in our Hop-On Hop-Off bus service.

Our guide was amazing. A true scholar of the history of Greece. We learned so much and also some fun facts. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Wow, what a lovely compliment! A true scholar who can also drop in fun facts. That's exactly the kind of guide we want in Athens, where every stone has a story.

We purchased a 72hr all line pass. We used it well!! There are reps at the main stops to help you and love the tracking QR code. Highly recommend this pass if you're staying in Athens for a few days.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Sanja, thank you. What a great way to use Athens!
Love hearing you got your money’s worth from the 72hr All Line pass. Our reps at the main stops work hard to keep everyone on track, and that tracking QR is a game-changer when you’re exploring for a few days.
Thanks for the recommendation. Hope you loved every corner of Athens!
Team Athens
Easy to use friendly reps at every stop. Nice to sit back rest your feet while enjoying the sights. Free beer at roof top bar was nice bonus.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Helen, this is how it’s done!
Feet up, sights rolling by, friendly faces at every stop... and a cold one with a rooftop view to top it off? That’s the Athens golden hour right there.
Yiasou for cruising with us, cheers to that free beer!
Team Athens
Great chance to see Athens and get commentary on what you’re seeing! Make sure you pay close attention to what you’re buying. If you want more than one line make sure you choose correctly. A 48 hr ticket doesn’t automatically give you all lines, like it has in other countries.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Ashley, thank you so much for your review!
We're glad you enjoyed seeing Athens with our commentary. And thank you for the very useful tip about the ticket lines. You're right, it's important to check what's included, we'll work on making it clearer at the time of purchase.
Thanks for hopping on with us in Athens!

So the bus covers all the sights you need to see and some of the daily life of the Greek citizens. The markets are especially interesting. Just wish the green route to cruise docks ran 1/2 hourly. To ensure you can get back and still not miss anything along the way.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Thank you so much for your great feedback, we really appreciate it!
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed that the bus covers all the sights you need to see and also gives you a glimpse of the daily life of the Greek citizens. And yes, the markets are especially interesting!
Thank you also for your suggestion about the Green Route to the cruise docks. We totally understand your point, running every half hour would make it easier to get back without missing anything along the way. We will share your idea with our operations team to see how we can improve the frequency.
We hope you had a fantastic cruise and a great time in Athens!
Sending you a big hug from the whole City Sightseeing Athens team and we hope to see you again very soon!
