About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- tanaj20170 contributionsGreat way to see Athens.The hop on, hop off bus was great. An easy way to explore athens and get a good feel for what's around the city. We lost a cell phone and were very happy that the company found it and returned it to us. That was such a relief. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.Written September 19, 2024
- juliann7930 contributionsAvoid unless you enjoy getting stressed and lostWe took the bus from Piraeus port, it took ages to pay via card machine so we paid cash eventually and the poor lady taking payments clearly hated her machine. Then when we arrived back at the acropolis to catch our bus back to the port it was chaos. The 3 young ladies in charge were stressed and gave everyone different information about which bus to catch. We joined a coach going to Piraeus only to find it was actually going back into Athens so the lady has sent a full bus to the wrong destination. We jumped off a took a taxi which cost 35 euros and took about 15 minutes. I would not recommendWritten September 18, 2024
- charlotteoldman18180 contributionsGreat way to see the cityA great way to see the city and pick what to do. WiFi didn't work on all the buses and the audio wasn't great. Really enjoyed heading to the beach on the bus.Written September 17, 2024
- Alisonia H0 contributionsHop off and on busThe bus was supposed to pick up every 15 minutes and it was always 15 minutes late. It did take us to the important parts of the city as advertised so that was good.Written September 17, 2024
- JCB9600 contributionsLong full day but totally worthwhileReally enjoyable and informative day managed by a wonderful guide (Michaela) The only slight disappointment was the VR guide (which is loaded on a phone provided) but kept jumping around and needed regular resetting. Otherwise a highly recommend tourWritten September 17, 2024
- 278wernert0 contributionsUse another company - be careful who you get via Viator, TripAdvisor, GetYour Guide, etc.There are at least 3 hop on hop off buses operating in Athens. This Blue Bus seems to be of the lowest quality and reliability. Seems like a bare bones operation with fairly uninteresting commentary. USE ANOTHER COMPANYWritten September 17, 2024
- kevinw12120 contributionsPlease do not use take another tour.We took this tour and was great getting on but a disaster while in Athens Waiting for Buses that were to come every 15 minutes waited over half an hour. Transfer point was unorganized and terrible. Ended up buying a ticket for the Bib Bus and it was Fantastic and Organized. wish i would have purchased for them first.Written September 16, 2024
- verdad140 contributionsLeft Us High and DryWe booked the tour the night before, and were really looking forward to it! We also prepaid for the entrance fees for a couple of the attractions. Total was almost 190cdn. The following morning we showed up at 8:02, plenty of time for our 8:20 pickup. After waiting at the correct stop until almost 8:30, we were unsure if the tour had been cancelled, or the bus missed our stop. The message we got from Viator the night before gave us the phone number of the bus company. We wanted to see whether the tour had been cancelled, or somehow the bus driver missed us, and we could take a taxi and catch up. We called at 8:30. Rang for a minute and a half. No one answered the phone. What tour puts in a phone number that will not be answered? We called a few minutes later, and again,no reply. We also tried to email them,to see if the tour was still on, and could we catch up. Again, no response. It has been almost a week now, and still waiting for a call… Why did the bus not call us if they could not see us?They had all our information. They then said we are going to charge us for the whole trip including the entrance fees! What service did they supply to us in return for our money? We wasted over an hour waiting for them on our one day in Athens, then to top it off, they charged us the full amount, including admission fees! We were twice disappointed, first the tour passing us by, and second, getting charged for a service we did not receive. I asked for a refund, and the company said they would not refund a single penny. All profit for them, including the admission tickets. We feel we’re mistreated and ignored. Unfortunately we have left Athens, and do not know if we will ever return. I am sorry we ever booked with these people.Written September 15, 2024
- ratnasingamn20240 contributionsFabulous tripThe views were amazing. Had a great time. Eva was very accomodating and explained well about the monastry and the surroundings. Both drivers were very good drove safely and comfortably. Highly recommend.Written September 15, 2024
- V6256DDdavidw0 contributionsMagical visit to the Temple of Poseidon.Tour was magical! Kostas was very informative and even recommended a wonderful Taverna after the tour which was local and authentic as they come. Highly recommended.Written September 15, 2024
- U4958ODnadinea0 contributionsVery Dishonest Tour CompanyI was at the Melina Mercouri monument from 4:16 for the 4:30pm pick up. I was in communication with the company through their WhatsApp number to let them I know I was there, shared what color top I was wearing, and asked for the color of the tour bus. By 5:01pm, the person on the WhatsApp number said the bus left, they had been calling my name and said I wasn’t there which is a lie. They refuse to issue me a refund although I said I have other tours booked for the rest of my time in Athens. Please do not book this company, there’s way too much dishonesty all because they don’t want to refund $32, not cool. With such an awful experience from the dishonest person, I’m happy I didn’t make the tour, such awful people should not be rewarded. I have filed a claim through my bank, so happy I have the WhatsApp receipts.Written September 13, 2024
- nivesf20230 contributionsValue for money excursionThe excursion completely delivered my expectation based on what it offered in its description. The company offered 4 pick-up points which was great and they checked with me a day where I wanted to be picked. The coach was comfortable and air-conditioned and the driver excellent. There was a tour leader who was not a licensed guide, but this is something that the description of the tour said. The tour leader was very helpful and kind and gave prompt and up to the point information considering the excursion and also gave general information about the sites that we were visiting and also those that we were driving by. We were given a mobile phone with thorough description of the sites we were visiting including recreation of how they looked like originally. In Nafplio we could also board for free a tourist train or an open-deck tourist bus that took us around the town with an audio explanation in Greek and English on what we were seeing along the way. We had enough time for the sightseeing at every place that we visited. We left Athens around 8.30 am and returned around 7pm. So really a full day for a good price. However, if you expect a thorough guiding of the sites that are being visited, then you should book a different excursion. This is really a value for money excursion.Written September 12, 2024
- JJ B0 contributionsHighly recommendedVery well organised before and during. Lovely staff esp Irene and a marvelous chance to enjoy the glory of the Pelopenese.Written September 11, 2024
- 2cherh0 contributionsTerrible organisation from staffThere was absolute chaos at the acropolis getting the bus back to the cruise port, staff telling people to wait in a certain place then a bus turning up and people scrambling for the bus. 3 buses came and went whilst still waiting !! just a little organisation from staff was all it needed form an orderly cue at the curb side !Written September 9, 2024
- mrl12450 contributionsGreat views - average tourThe tour consisted of earphones and explanations of random things on the bus journey. The explanations were in fairly poor English and difficult to follow. There was no guide for the temple which was heaving and rough underfoot. The bus journey back was very long and tedious. For 4 of us it probably would have been cheaper to take a cab (or a least more pleasant). Saying that communication for the meeting point etc. was good.Written September 9, 2024

This trip was worth the long drive on the bus! We first went to the town of Kalabaka for lunch at Archontariki! The food was fresh and delicious! Then we had time to wonder the town for half hour before the bus took us up the hills to the first of two monasteries we would visit! Our guide Eva was very knowledgeable and they gave us a lot of photo opportunities in different places while driving around!
I loved that it was a small group and the bus was smaller so easily able to get in & out of the car parks that were packed with larger buses from the cruise ships! It’s a long day so pack a little snack too and there was a stop half way there & back at a decent road stop/gas station to get a coffee or a bite to eat. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting a smaller group tour! There was about total 14 people on the bus which also picks up & drops off around Athens depending on where you’re staying so that also was a plus! 5 ⭐️

The trip was extremely interesting and beautiful, even though a bit tiring, but worth every moment.
Our local tour guide Dora and the drivers Kostas & Leonidas were very pleasant and efficient.
Dora provided in such a beautiful way all the information not only regarding the tour, but also about the nice restaurant and the delicious traditional food we had for lunch.
She was very accommodating, has a very pleasant personality and the tour was designed in such a way to be able to avoid crowds and have a smooth and enjoyable ride, offering multiple pick up and drop off points.

Very disappointed in this small group tour. Jammed into a small van drove for hours no commentary one of the guys i asked what the huge lake was called we were passing he said he didn't know and would ask. Never came back to me. I found out it was the sea. The guide at monasteries was nice but never came into them with us like we saw other guides doing and explaining things. The office knew we were unhappy squashed into back seats and I asked them to see if we could sit in front with driver they said they would ask..but ultimately drivers said no. A very unpleasant 14 hour day

This place is a must to visit. A fantastic view that leaves you speechless and hypnotize you.
The tour was well organized, excellent transportation was present at the exact time at the pick up points. Comfortable coach, air conditioned, enough leg room and pleasant music. The place where we had lunch is magical, with direct view of Meteora and of course very tasty traditional food. The guide - a high grade professional.
I highly recommend this tour and recommend this company, you will not regret a second.

A wonderful trip run by Eva our local guide! She took us to all the best photo spots, into two of the monasteries and even showed us the best gelato spot to cool down at the end of the day! Was a small group so there was lots of time for any questions and the bus trip there and back was very comfortable with aircon, water provided and charging ports.

This tour is fantastic, it was incredibly insightful and very detailed. The tour guides were very thoughtful and responsive not to mention knowledgeable and made the tour very lively and fun despite the hot weather. Dora our lovely tour guide provided us with cold water and a scarf for those who did not wear a long skirt when visiting the monasteries. The trip is relatively long but worth it, the views were stunning. I highly recommend this tour!
