    Buses were frequent and seats were adequate. The stops are all at convenient tourist stops, and covers the main sites well. The onboard commentary is excellent and clear.. The headsets provided were in good working condition. All in all, an excellent choice for transportation and guide to Athens.

    I would recommend HOHO tour to others too. It is easy way to see the most important/popular places without worrying distances. Personnel was very friendly and helpfull. Only minus comes from timing of speech to the sights, and few times phone didn't work properly.

    It is a great deal...2 days of hop on hop off travel around the city. I didn't put awesome only because the wait time was uneven...one time more than 1/2 hour. I would suggest eventually an app showing next bus arrival time at each pickup/drop-off location. Also, it would have been helpful if, before you got off the bus, the driver was able to advise if a museum for instance was open or closed at that particular time.

    Good online operation. No problems. Red Line bus system was mostly very good, but we never got our free beer!
  • Discover the many faces of the Greek capital on this comprehensive hop-on-hop-off bus tour which provokes a profound connection with the city’s storied past. Athens offers a true spectacle in terms of historic, architectural, and artistic riches from golden artifacts and majestic ruins to overgrown streams and grave enclosures. In retrospect, we have the Ancient Greeks to thank for democracy, science, philosophy, and written contracts. A bus tour allows you to appreciate the city like a true local while exposing you to Greek culture and identity. Be humbled at the sight of the marble Doric temple of Parthenon, allow time to acknowledge the many moods of the magnificent Acropolis and encounter true masterpieces of Byzantine art and remnants of the Ottoman period.
