Convenient, easy to purchase, and use. The app is straight forward and offers many tour options and recommendations. We did not use the museum tickets as I didn't know were to activate them. So we ended up purchasing tickets at the museum, only 10 euros each. We did ride the bus around Athens, the narration was quite informative. Hopped on and of a few times. The stops are easily identified and in key places throughout the city.

It stopped at all the major attractions in Athens.Very timely busses. It was just awfully hot on the bus. The bus driver made us get off before the Acropolis at the end of the night.He said the Hop On Hop Off bus was finished. We had to walk a few miles back to the Acropolis (out 1st stop) closest to our apartment . Way too hot !
