Great way to explore the island! - Onur was an excellent guide. He met us at the ferry pier; then we walked to a nearby restaurant and discussed an overview of the tour over some Turkish tea. We then proceeded to get the ebikes. From there we had a peaceful ride through the town area and past some lovely homes. Onur provided commentary along the way and was just enjoyable in conversation overall. We visited the Greek Orthodox church and had some fabulous views from different vantage points. My wife and I enjoyed our ride around the island. There are several hills; so the ebikes are definitely the way to go! I highly recommend Onur and the ebike tour.

Relaxing break from the city - We had a great day on Buyukada on the bike and hiking. Müsait, our super friendly guide, took us to all the highlights and kept feeding us with interesting stories about the islands where he grew up and resides. Highly recommended excursion from the busy city!

Revitalising ebike Ride - Onur is a great tour guide! I was nervous in doing a private tour but Onur made it feel like visiting family. The ride was fun and exciting at time, while relaxing and refreshing at other times. Onur was flexible and communicative before and during the tour, he also continuously asked and offered to accommodate my needs. He was great at helping take memorable pictures as well. Thank you Onur for your guidance! I recommend.

E-Bike Tour Experience on Büyükada - The Full-Day E-Bike Tour on Büyükada gave us an opportunity to explore the island's terrain. Navigating the island's landscape on e-bikes offered a blend of adventure and autonomy that is hard to match. We asked to have lunch at the Yücetepe Kir Gazinosu Restaurant, which includes a notable incline where we were asked to park our e-bikes and proceed upwards on foot. This option can be quite strenuous and may not be suited for everyone, however, reaching the top, we were rewarded with a scenic panorama of the surrounding area.

Excellent guided E-bike experience on Büyükada. - Onur was a great tour guide. He explained the unique homes and history, showed us a good place for lunch, and with the E-bikes we easily got to see whole island including the island’s historical Greek Orthodox Church and orphanage even with our limited time on the island. Thanks again Onur, we hope to be back again soon!

Beautiful!! - This was a beautiful tour. The guide was with us throughout the entire day. He made sure we got from Istanbul all the way to the island and back safely. The bike ride was easy, since the motors did 99% of the pedaling if you wanted. The icing on the cake was getting to meet his mother and son while walking through the town. I’m glad we took a day to explore a different Turkish island.
