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.

A brilliant way to see all the main attractions in Athens, at your leisure. We booked tickets for the day we disembarked from our cruise, and did 2 of the 3 routes, stopping off at sites we wanted to look at in more detail. Great open topped buses, and fab narration. Would highly recommend!

Enjoyable bus tour!

Alice_C, Jul 2026
Bus tour was a great way to travel around the city and choose which stops you get off at! Figured out you could track the buses midway through the tour which made it easier to know when to wait at each stop & not be in the sun for ages! The top section had a covered shaded roof which others don’t making it cool but can still see all the attraction! Would recommend 🌟

Try the cheaper bus companies

David_D, Jul 2026
We had to wait for an hour to get back to port at 1pm. They give you bad information about when you get off for the Acropolis. The other cheaper buses are just as regular and not as busy. Some of the seats weren’t available so we had to sit upstairs in the Athens sun and got sunburnt. Wouldn’t recommend.

Great option to see the city highlights. Good value for the price. 2 full hours to ride the full loop. Sit up top for the best views. Avoid sitting by the edge as you will be hit by the passing trees (be aware you will be ducking to avoid)

Slow Circuit

William_D, Jun 2026
The bus trip around the city was good. That said depending on the traffic conditions the full circuit can take upwards of 2 to 2.5 hours. The circuit does include most of the high lights of central Athens on the Athens line.

Good bus tour

KrisAnn_G, Jun 2026
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

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the historical information, the variety of languages available, the many stops, and the experience of sitting on the upper deck.

Perfect for a layover

Jennifer_C, Jun 2026
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.

If you stay near Parliament not necessary

Mary_M, Jun 2026
A little confusing to figure out what stops you were at. If you stay near the parliament and gardens, it is not necessary because everything is within walking distance.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hi Mary, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your City Sightseeing Athens, Piraeus & Beach Riviera Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour. We’re sorry to hear that you found the stop information a bit confusing, and we understand how this can affect the overall experience. Your comments are very valuable, and we will pass them on to our local team to improve clarity and communication at the stops.

Athens does have many key landmarks within walking distance in that area, and the hop-on hop-off service is designed to help guests reach further highlights such as Piraeus, the coastline, and the Athens Riviera, as well as provide an easy overview of the city. If you return to Athens, we recommend exploring the Acropolis and Parthenon, wandering through the charming Plaka district, or enjoying a scenic stop along the Athens Riviera to experience more of the city beyond the central area. 🚍✨ We hope to welcome you again for a smoother and more enjoyable City Sightseeing experience.

Hop on hop off in Athens

Cathy_D, May 2026
We ended up not using our 2 day passes as our friends had other plans. We have used the Red Bus in many cities and have enjoyed it. We are planning on using it in Barcelona, too bad we can’t switch the tickets to that venue. Live and learn!

It was confusing because...

Neela_P, May 2026
It was confusing because it said you can travel on all three color buses, however while booking when it asks us if we want 24/48/72 hour tickets we can confused thinking we can use all three buses in 24 hours. We unnecessarily ended up paying extra 24 euros. So while booking be careful to read it properly.

Response from Host, May 2026

Hi Neela, Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that there was some confusion during the booking process for the City Sightseeing Athens hop-on hop-off bus tour. We understand how the description of the different routes (all three coloured lines) alongside the 24/48/72-hour ticket options can sometimes be misinterpreted, and we regret that this led to an unexpected additional cost in your case. To clarify, our tickets are time-based (24, 48 or 72 hours) and within that validity period, guests can use the routes included in their selected ticket type, depending on the product booked. We always recommend carefully reviewing the ticket inclusions at the time of purchase, and our customer service team is also available to help with any doubts before booking. We truly appreciate your comment, as it helps us improve the clarity of our information for future visitors. We hope that despite this, you were still able to enjoy discovering Athens and its highlights such as the Acropolis, Syntagma Square, and the historic city centre. Kind regards, City Sightseeing Athens

Avoid on Greek Labor Day

Sylvia_M, May 2026
Greek Labor Day (May 1st). Most tourists sites closed, so thought hop on/off bus might be good. Unfortunately, protests closed streets, so route was greatly affected. Understandably, the driver was grumpy. But not understandably, he was VERY unhelpful for a paying customer: with how to use ear bud to listen to narrative. I had never ridden a hop on/off before, so just needed basic instruction. I sat in front seat and only asked at stop light when he seemed unoccupied. He pretty much ignored me. I travel a lot and hope my next on/off bus hopping in another city is better!
