Experience Athens in Hop On Hop Off Bus Tours

Discover one of the world’s oldest cities during the Athens bus tour. The first form of democracy was practiced in Athens around 500 B.E. And, during the construction of the City's Metro in 2004, diggers unearthed the biggest archaeological find in Athens’s history, consisting of more than 50,000 artifacts.

Discover Greece’s capital with drops right in front of most Athens attractions. And you can even combine your Athens open-top double-decker bus tour with a sightseeing visit to Piraeus. Or upgrade even further and pair the Acropolis trip with your Athens sightseeing tickets. Finally, if you want a truly memorable and romantic experience, select the package that includes a Cape Sounion Sunset Tour.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Hop-on Hop-off Athens bus tour runs over a designated route to cover the city’s top attractions. No tour guide, you set your own itinerary with the flexibility to get off at the nearest designated stop.

You can start your tour at any of the designated bus stops. Look for your nearest stop to your hotel, and make sure to check out the route. There may be more than one route on offer, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead of arrival as there may be specific attractions you want to see. Check the tour website for details of the routes, attractions, bus stops and any changes. Also, whether your ticket covers all routes. Almost all will, but it’s worth verifying the routes before you arrive. See, a little preparation can go a long way.

That will depend on the tour provider. You’ll find that hop-on hop-off bus tours can be either live or audio-guided. Many will have a pre-recorded commentary that’ll share fascinating information about the history of Athens, its culture, and many places of interest. You’ll find that the audio commentary will be provided in various languages. English, French, German and Spanish are the most commonly used, but others may be available. Check the specific product page for full details of all the languages offered.
