The usual hop on hop off bus tour. Liked the three route option. If a cruise ship is in town prepare for crowded buses!!
We really enjoyed the Big Bus tour. It was relaxing, comfortable and a great way to discover places we might otherwise have missed. The staff were welcoming, and the whole experience made sightseeing much easier. A special thank you to Natasha for her friendly attitude.
We enjoyed the Bus tour a Lot. Is Very confortable ti Hop on AND off wherever you want. We speak spanish and is nice to get the explanation in your lenguaje. Djordje Maljkovic helped us a Lot to up grade our tickets. Great experience
A fantastic way to explore the city, got loads of photos and many memories. A different way to see the sights, and definitely beats walking! Natasha was excellent, very helpful and patient with questions. Much appreciated her help and advice on visiting local places. Would definitely do it again.
Big Bus made it accommodating to sightsee around Athens. Super happy my family and I used this service. Natasha was very kind in our conversation and helpful to figure out what tour we needed and the supportive resources around it, thank you and take care
The tours was amazing. The busses super clean and the people very kind. A value for money tour. Thank you Natasha for giving as the opportunity to get the bus.
very nice tour tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly especially Natasha! was a great help in getting us organized bus was great! clean and good audio guide with a lot of languages!
The tour was amazing despite the weather, the audio guide was captivating and everyone was very kind, a huge thank you especially to Stefan for amazing customer experience.
Stephan who gave us the tickets was extremely helpful giving us some great advice.
The bus was okay, but heavy rain seemed to cause delays and made it difficult to time the buses even with the app. The driver was confused by our third party Viator ticket and we were not able to figure out if the night tour was included. I could have seemed more help but we were busy and weather was not favorable, so we somewhat gave up and did not get the full value of the three day pass.
Had a good view of Athens and took plenty of photos Because of wet weather I remained on the bus for the 1hr 40min trip
The bus ride itself is good. The buses just take forever to come to specific stops, so it’s more like try to hop on, wait
We purchased a 48-hour sightseeing tickets for our family of four, hoping to make the most of our short holiday in Athens. Unfortunately, the experience was appalling. Wednesday 21 October We waited approximately an hour for a bus, despite a member of staff repeatedly reassuring us that it would arrive shortly. When we finally boarded, the bus took an unexpected diversion, spending much of the journey travelling along motorways. We had not been warned about this and saw virtually none of the sights we had paid to see. Unfortunately, our physical ticket was also blown away during the journey. Thursday 22 October We returned hoping to use the remaining validity of our 48-hour tickets. Despite providing proof of purchase that was online, providing proof of the email and a QR code we were refused boarding as it is apparently policy that the paper tickets rules everything and whatever you have purchased via their own website is meaningless! What followed was just unbelievable! The Driver would not move the bus repeating that we were to buy another ticket otherwise he would lose his job. After 15 minutes of going around in circles and leaving both our children, aged eight and ten, crying and and distressed he eventually drove to the city where we could speak to someone. The single member of staff that was in central Athens asked us to get off the bus to talk to us. Hs was unable to help as it was the policy of the company to provide paper tickets even after you had purchased a digital ticket online. We then had to spend about an hour chatting online to an agent who eventually provided an extension to the ticket so the paper copy could be issued. What a complete waste of time! Don’t bother using this company as there are plenty of others to choose from!
Highly recommend. I combined the City Tour with the Riviera tour over two days by the recommendations of Stefan He was great and explained everything clearly. Ensure you pick up earphones as you get on as the commentary of where you are is very good
Excellent service great help for all. Frequent and on time. I totally recommend the tour around the city .Konstantinos hood
What a mice expirience , tottaly worth every penny to visit the riviera pireuas. I reccomend the 3 days ticket. Konstantinos sell me the ticket
Fantastic experience, three routes. What a great expirence . Konstantinos nice guy and vey helpful. The best
I would like to commend the excellent work of mrs Joanna Giotitsa, a tour guide at Syntagma Square. She is a very cheerful person who sold us tickets on the morning of October 17th; she demonstrated a deep knowledge of the area, provided clear and precise information about the city, and offered some very valuable tips. I highly recommend her.
Pireaus tour to the harbour was fantastic. I reccomend station 22 for your travel. Kondtantimos at plaka was good enough. Thank you big bus. The best
Very easy to do. Enjoy seeing the city at my own pace and fun to do. You have a choice to sit upstairs or down.
I loved Greece. The bus tour was nice. Would recommend if you are coming to Athens. Thanks Mark for the help and getting our tickets.
On time and well organized. Good that there are agents at stops to help answer questions. Good narration
Good value to purchase 2 day package as its cheaper to explore the city. Pick up at their bus stop was not as frequent as they stated on their signs. We ended waiting 30 minutes in heavy rain.
Love the convenience of using this service. It's the best way to see a city like Athens. Bonus: the other 2 routes are very nice too and highly recommend the Riviera route if you have time.
The tour was really convenient because you could hop on and off whenever you wanted. Konstantinos was incredibly kind and even called another bus line to ask them to wait an extra minute for us so we wouldn’t miss the bus. Thank you Konstantinos!!!
The Tour was very interesting. Konstantilos was the best.
Generally, the service itself is okay, and the drivers have been very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the scheduling and timetable are a complete mess, and even the agents working at the bus stops don’t seem to understand them. We arrived at Stop 1 well before the advertised last bus at 6:46pm, as clearly stated on both the app and the printed map. However, the agent at the stop insisted that the last bus had already departed at 5:30pm! With two children in tow, we were left with no option but to book a taxi back to our accommodation, which the agent simply stood and watched us do. I subsequently raised a complaint through the app, only to be told that the last bus was, in fact, scheduled for 6:46pm, exactly as we had originally understood! So either the agent had absolutely no idea what he was talking about, or the service wasn’t operating according to its published timetable. Either way, it’s completely unacceptable for a sightseeing company that families rely on to get around a city. This was our first experience with Big Bus Tours, and it will almost certainly be our last. There are more reliable alternatives available, and I would strongly recommend considering those instead. Friendly drivers are unfortunately not enough to make up for poor organisation, misleading information and a complete lack of customer service when things go wrong.
We had an Athene pass and this was included. We liked the Big bus tour and the information. Konstantinos helpt us with knowing at what time the busses came. We used it both days.
Clean, comfortable buses and well organized routes. Easy to see many attractions and to understand the whole city. Thanks Mark!
Everything worked perfectly. Nice routes, frequent buses, and good organization. Thank you Mark!
Great way to seethe sites on a tight schedule
It was really interesting to see the city from a different perspective.
We had a great experience with the hop-on hop-off bus in Athens! The tour was a fantastic way to explore the city, see the main attractions, and enjoy beautiful views along the way. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It was easy to get on and off at different stops, making it a convenient way to discover Athens at our own pace. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city! 🚌🇬🇷 Thank Konstantinos for helping me
Worse bus tour I ever took. Seats were uncomfortable. Drivers surly and at nearly every stop someone came through demanding you show your ticket. The audio was not very helpful and the Greek music was insipid. Don’t waste your money.
We looked lost, and Stepan walked up and asked if he could assist. We truly appreciated his assistance. With his help we got exactly what we wanted. A perfect day, beautiful weather, and great riding tours of Athens. Thanks Stepan!
Skip this one. The bus was crowded. We were kicked off the bus to make way for a tour group that had to get to their ship. Another bus did not come for 45 minutes. A true waste of money.I
AWEFUL EXPERIENCE They come very irregularly. Had to wait thirty minutes at one stop which ruined my entire schedule
One of at least 3 hop-on-hop-off providers in Athens, and the least professional in appearance. Whether this also translates into their performance I don't know, but their service at their stops was poor on a couple of occasions. The worst experience was on arrival at the Acropolis, when the Big Bus trip claimed that the site was full, but she could book us on to a guided tour for a fee in a few hours' time. The Acropolis was not full, and we did a self-guided tour a coffee stop later. Book online; it's cheaper than buying from a rep at a bus stop, but check the other providers too. If you do pick Big Bus, don't rely on the bus tracking on their app, it is useless.
totally good tour and audio guide on english was perfect. i use big bus every time. konstantinos nice
Big bus Athens was a great experience! Tasos was very helpful with booking and following the route.
Really enjoyed this, the tour was a fantastic way to see Athens, the guy selling tickets gave me great recommendations for cool spots in the city. Very grateful for the experience. Thank you, Stepan!
We had excellent experience from the start of the tour ! Johana G. Greeted us and provided in depth details of what to expect on the tour. Johana G was extremely helpful, kind, considerate , upbeat and positive. Johana G did not let us down, the tour was phenomenal!
The big bus tour was a great way to see the city! Konstantinos was a great help with information!!
We always use Big Bus when we travel. In Athens, we purchased the 72-hour ticket, which included the evening tour. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the buses were clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful experience and strongly recommend Big Bus!
Use the big bus the first day I was in Athens. Easy to find stops. Stayed on all the spots and then chose what I wanted to see. The only issue I had it took awhile to get to another stop because of traffic and having the app didn’t tell u the correct time the bus was leaving. Headphones worked well
Great overview of Athens. Handy to our hotel and where we wanted to go.
Absolutely no description of any of the sights. What little communication there was virtually inaudible.
On our recent vacation in Athens my wife and I made extensive use of Big Bus Athens Hop-on Hop-off service to get around the city and see the sights. We found it an excellent service that ran on time and was frequent enough we seldom waited more than 10 minutes at a stop for the next bus. We encountered Tasos stationed at stop 1 in Syntagma Square who was especially helpful assisting us with ticketing, making useful suggestions and getting us on our way. We highly recommend this service.
Very good tour around the stations . I recommend the bus to Piraeus and riviera. Konstantinos help me. Thank you
