Although the trip is good value I advise some caution when booking via Groupn. My single trip booking went through but I was charged twice! As I hadn't noticed until after the tour had been activated Groupon would not refund me the second charge. Ultimately, a very good offer left me frustrated and disappointed

We had a great experience with Big Bus Athens! The drivers and staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, which made our trip even more enjoyable. We had no issues using our tickets or changing buses. On the second day, we couldn’t do the second route because there was a traffic blockage that delayed us more than expected — but of course, that was beyond the company’s control. Overall, we were

We bought the 72 hours pass with the night tour. The night tour was a bit disappointing as the driver was driving very fast. They could have made it more interesting and drove a little slower so we could see the sites properly. The red line is good to see all the sights within the city centre and is frequent. The green line takes you to some amazing places on the coastline. Sit on the right side of the bus. It only runs once every hour. The purple line is ok. If you haven’t studied to skip one line skip this one but definitely do the green line. All in all it was a good experience. Not very busy and you can always get good seats.
