If it were not for what the ancient builders of the agora acropolis and the beautiful Greek statuary left behind, Athens would not be so much visited today ... chaotic and poorly maintained city

Purtroppo l'audioguida è funzionata solo nel tragitto tra Pireo e Acropoli, non durante il tour della città.

Perfect way of seeing as much as possible if you stay one day in Athens. One of the line was without rooftop at the upper level at the middle of a hot day. Very challenging. You can move to the lower AC part but there is no such a view. Not all the players for audio guide are working. Sometimes the audio guide is not very sinnchronised don't is not clear what/where to look.

The schedules of the Costa line are wrong. At 3:47 p.m. it stops at Glifada City Center, at 4:03 p.m. at Glifada, and then at 4:40 p.m. Glifada City Center. Not having real-time visibility on the runs, especially those out of town, is a problem.

Some of the audio guide didn't work and overall I would have expected more information. It was better on the Piraeus route

Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and we ran late because we got lost getting to the meeting point and they were so helpful in getting us there in time to join the others! It was wonderful!

The bus makes its last trip from Acropolis very early at 6.15p.m. We waited for the blue bus for over an hour because I had understood that it ran until 8pm. We had to walk to the train station to buy a ticket to return

Frequency was a useful, and key feature. So much to see, do (& eat & drink). So wasn't losing lots of time waiting for a bus to turn up. (Certainly a contrast with booking "day trips" organised by some companies). We were staying in Athens - & it was really nice to be able to jump off, visit somewhere & do something, then jump on without much waiting. And let's be honest, there is so much to do, to see, to enjoy.

Antony G is great. On June 28, 2025, he went out of his way to ensure that I made it to the stop near my hotel. Understanding which side of the street the bus would arrive was confusing but Antony G made sure I got back safely. Thank you Antony!

Great way to see the whole city and stop at various points of interest and get back on when you want and as often as you want. The 'audio guide on top of the bus explains the various sights in detail. Beautiful experience .

They sold me a pass for 48 hours. They offered Riciera and Pireus but after 48 hours I asked to go to Pireus and they told me it was only for the first day.

The trip along the sea was pointless. Especially the return road along the absolutely same route. The sights were obviously the sea and the area with the wealthy houses which, in your opinion, should generate a huge interest.

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.

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.

The three bus tours are great. You get to all the sights and are very mobile in the city. The audio information was very helpful. The staff at Big-Bus are always friendly and give competent advice on all questions. Many thanks for the wonderful experience.

To be honest I have been disappointed as every single staff member I have been talking to never provided me the full information and also there were so many discrepancies between the information given which led to waste of our time and tiredness. I do work in English on a daily basis and understand and respect the different level of knowledge or culture of each other however I find unacceptable that they actually do not really understand or provide the full information allowing a smooth experience. I also used the chat which was extremely annoying and not been helpful at all. Finally yesterday we arrived early and I was with my parents who are now very old, I have asked more than once at what time we needed to be back, for which I have been told to come back at 11... I have checked on purpose and asked if we could board earlier on and he said no it will be 11. In the end we have arrived at 10:50 and the bus was full. To me when people are old and absolutely need to sit and I ask on top... this is unacceptable. Audio worked perfectly and good to have. Tour and locations proposed were nice. I hope this comment will help for future customers.

Easy way to get around and stops were easy to spot (once we knew what we were looking for - a pic of the bus stop sign sent with confirmation would be a good touch). The audio was not synced properly during our first trip around Athens, it was at least a stop behind the whole trip. The 2 employees working one of the cross over stops were giving conflicting directions about where they wanted people to que and then got rude when people were confused . The Riviera route was late returning from a last run due to traffic congestion and then the driver gave us wrong info and we missed our last bus back to Piraeus.

They sold me the tour in Spanish and when I got on the bus they had no Spanish translation. I was scammed. Misleading advertising. Total disaster. They don't want to give me my money back.

It is important that the driver behave politely and try to help the customer with the audio system that was not working, rather than telling the customer to return to the location. Due to the loud music on the audio system, I could not hear the explanations.
