We took this bus by accident. We hadn't planned on it. We just happended to be near one of the stops. The ticket person was really friendly and explained all we needed to know about the tour and gave us a map of the route. The audio was adequate to cover the part of the city we were passing through. Great way to see Athens. It was also a good way to get back to our hotel. I recommend this tour.

Your guys working on every stations are lovely. Very helpful and kind. However I'd be happy if you just let me know on application or on mail about the bicycle race throughout Athens on Sunday, April 6th. It changed the routes and crossingpoints and I only heard of that on Sunday after buying my ticket.

    What a wonderful way to see Athens. Besides enjoying the sights and sounds of this amazing city, it was a wonderful way to get our bearings. The excellent recording highlighted everything along the way! Thanks for a great journey!

    The convenience of going around the city to see major main attractions and being able to stop wherever we want and then use the bus for transport back to the areas we wanted to revisit. Air conditioning could have definitely been better.
