The buses were always on time, and we never had to wait more than a few minutes; the staff at the stops were super friendly; there were comfortable headphones to listen to some historical commentary on the various sites; the buses were clean; and the price for a day of exploring Athens was really affordable. It’s the perfect way to avoid getting overwhelmed by the different transportation options and get a great overview of the city without getting tired.

I live in Athens and my little kid wanted to have a tour with an open bus so I chose Headout to take us around Athens listening in Greek language. We visited both Athens and Piraeus and we were both fascinated, nice tour, good explanations, friendly people.

Highly recommended. The stops are clearly marked, and we visited Athens, Piraeus, and the beaches. They provide headphones, and they’re very punctual. For me, it was a perfect service.

The 3 tours are very well established, flexibility from the company. We found an agreement to choose the days of visit. Everything was wonderful with this company.

The staff is very attentive. Based on the brochure, you might think that the bus colors correspond to the different routes, but that’s not the case. We ended up taking the same route twice before finding the right bus to the beaches. Fortunately, a very friendly employee at one of the stops extended our pass by a day, which allowed us to continue the next day. The Olympic Stadium is worth a visit. From the entrance, the perspective makes the space look rather cramped. It’s only once you step inside that you can truly appreciate the grandeur of the place.

Explore Athens effortlessly with a 2-day unlimited hop-on hop-off bus tour and also go around the Port of Piraeus, and the coastline of the Athenian Riviera.

Customize your itinerary and leisurely explore each stop at your own pace. The buses cover 35 stops across 4 different lines.

The flexibility to board and disembark within a 48-hour period is appealing. However, the Hip On/Hip Off stops are not clearly marked, and the schedule information provided via email is outdated. This meant I ended up waiting 1.5 hours for the bus! I would like to see more payment options and greater flexibility.
