Wooden boat trip, 1st leg of a 3 day package
Our first leg was the wooden boat Island trip. Our amazing tour guide Faya, was the best. So informative, helpful with information and just such a beautiful bubbly person. She honestly made the day extra special. We did electric bike rides, on the island of Agistri. Our second Island, we could only dock in the ocean, and it was amazing. We could jump of the boat an swim in the ocean around the boat. Third Island Aegina, was bigger. We could do a lot of trips, but we opted to relax on the beach. We literally sat in the ocean relaxing, it was beautiful. Heading back, was sad, as the day was extremely beautiful and sunny. The boat crew and actual boat, amazing!! The crew are very friendly, very helpful and informs groups on the different sections of the boat, constantly of where we going, safety and a little history of our stops. The Chefs food was fabulous 👌 we have a few options and there was something for everyone. We had drinks and water available the whole time during the trip. Very well organized and put together ❤️

Great tour, well worth it.
Great tour, excellent value! The crew on the boat were fantastic. Very customer service oriented! Even the food (breakfast, snacks and lunch) were great. The hop on hop off bus was a good value! Access to all 4 lines. Start early though. The day comes to a close very quickly.

A Wonderful Day on the Water
The entire trip was wonderful! The company has great communication, the shuttle bus arrived when it was scheduled and they were expecting us. The tour itself was exceptional!!! Beautiful little towns and coves. We could swim, wander and/or eat. There was enough time for all of it. The food and drink on the boat was very good. There was plenty of room for everyone. If you are looking for a tour that gives you a glimpse of Greece away from Athens, this is it.

Give This Bus Company A Miss
Beware….this is not the true HOHO bus company, with the red buses. My wife and I were in Athens for the day in May on a cruise ship. This company seems to have sole access to setting up a desk in the cruise terminal and has first contact to every passenger walking through. They claim to be the “HOHO bus”, and to buy your tickets before leaving the terminal. When you get outside, you soon discover they actually are not the well known around the world red buses, as this company were in the car park selling tickets there. The tickets were €20 each and we got on the blue bus and departed. We ended up on a main highway and were travelling that fast we had to hold onto our hats. We never stopped until we got to the acropolis, about 30 minutes away, and were told to change buses and then the tour would start. There was no mention of this at the start. We thought the tour would start directly from the cruise port. The tour was poor. The commentary was scratchy and hard to understand, we went past some monuments three times and the buses were packed. Including picking up so many passengers, people had to stand including up top. We decided not to get off in case we could not get back on. Their buses were not covered up top either. Every time we passed a red HOHO bus, they were half empty. We were so disappointed in the tour, we stayed on the bus until we got back to the acropolis, so we could get on the bus back to the cruise port. We couldn’t wait to get off. It was very disappointing. I would not recommend this company.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Athens Combo Ticket: Full-Day Cruise and Hop on Hop off Bus: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens Combo Ticket: Full-Day Cruise and Hop on Hop off Bus cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Athens Combo Ticket: Full-Day Cruise and Hop on Hop off Bus take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Athens Combo Ticket: Full-Day Cruise and Hop on Hop off Bus worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Athens Combo Ticket: Full-Day Cruise and Hop on Hop off Bus?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Athens Combo Ticket: Full-Day Cruise and Hop on Hop off Bus suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Athens Combo Ticket: Full-Day Cruise and Hop on Hop off Bus?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Athens Combo Ticket: Full-Day Cruise and Hop on Hop off Bus start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
