The trip was well organised with different timings across the day to spread the crowds. We were pleased it was cooler time of year so waiting wasn't too hot and it was a pleasant temperature at the top. The access was goood for most levels of mobility and it wasn't exhausting going up. You definitely need good flat shoes/trainers as it can be slippery off the main tracks. At the top there was lots of space for all to enjoy delicate the crowds on the way up. It was awe inspiring looking at the Parthenon and other buildings. Very pleased we went to the acropolis museum first and knew more about the history and buildings.

We went to queue around 1pm and it was super busy in all queues, so we went away for a bit and came back around 3pm to a much better line. We got strawberries ght it. We asked to changed the date we booked to the following day (due to rain) and it was no bother at all! We went straight to the turn styles and the ticket worked perfectly. Really interesting and fascinating place, lots to learn! It would be great to see a scale model of what the Acropolis would have looked like with the bright white marble and painted colours.

Everything about the experience was just surreal. I’ve always had a huge love for Greek mythology, so actually being there and seeing it all in person felt like a dream come true. Walking through the ancient sites, imagining all the stories that took place there it honestly gave me goosebumps. The guided tour made it even better; they shared so many cool facts, myths, and little details I never would’ve known on my own. It wasn’t just a visit, it felt like stepping right into history.

    It's a great way to get about the city at your own pace. The stops we used were close to the major sites. Our only criticism is that the three different bus companies have very different frequencies and we ended up with what appeared to be the least frequent. It would be really good if all three companies accepted tickets from the others. Failing that the website needs to be clearer about the timetables.

    Truly memorable experience taking my retired architect father to visit the Acropolis Parthenon for his 80th birthday. A dream come true for him. Went earlier in the day to avoid the crowds. No pressure rushing to the top so plenty of time to take in the spectacular buildings and views from the top. Very easy to find and access and sunshine to top it off!

    Excellent, we went in November so no crowds, no queues and everything was easy to navigate. Bus staff very friendly and helpful. Acropolis and Parthenon amazing, went straight in at our allocated time and not too many people in there so got some great photos.

    Visiting Athens was an extraordinary experience! The city is a perfect balance of ancient history and modern vitality. Everywhere you turn, you breathe culture: from the majestic Parthenon overlooking the Acropolis, to the picturesque alleys of Plaka, filled with cozy taverns and Mediterranean scents. A great help in enjoying the city to the fullest was the tour buses. I absolutely recommend them! They are comfortable, punctual and perfect for those who want to explore Athens without stress. Thanks to the various lines, I was able to easily visit all the most important points: the Acropolis, the National Museum, Syntagma Square, and even Piraeus, with its beautiful sea views. The multilingual audio guide is clear and interesting, and tells the history of the city in an engaging way. In addition, the ticket is valid for 24 or 48 hours, so you can get off and back on as many times as you want-ideal for those who want to discover Athens at their leisure. Simply put, Athens is a city that captivates you, and the tour buses are the best way to appreciate it from every angle without missing anything. I can't wait to go back! 🇬🇷✨
