Glad I took this tour - This was an excellent tour and I thoroughly recommend it. The guide, Menelaos, was not only very knowledgeable but also good company. Monuments and sites which you might otherwise just walk past were brought to life by his story telling. This gives you ideas about where to revisit during the remainder of your stay. I suggest choosing the ebike option as there are more gradients in Athens than you might imagine.

Tour de Athens - Nice way to see the highlights of Athens in a short time. Guide tells interest facts about the area and can also provide you with tips for other locations.
Pleasant side effect was the free upgrade to an ebike😊

Excellent tour on bike - Excellent tour with e-bikes through many top attractions. Needed to change our date by a couple of days and host was excellent in offering alternate times! Saw many sights that we couldn’t possibly see on foot. George was very detailed and the pace was enjoyable. Stopped at a beautiful restaurant for refreshments and a snack which was included.

Athens is better by bike! - We had a wonderful time with Joanne (sp?) biking through the city botanical garden, circling the acropolis on city streets, rolling through neighborhoods we would never have experienced on our own, and stopping at a quaint cafe for beverage and a chocolate covered waffle. It was such a great opportunity to get to know the city, and not just the ruins (nothing against them, but this city has a lot more to offer!). Joanne was a super guide, sharing city insights with humor and smarts. And once the ride was over, they went beyond the call of duty, giving us a terrific list of places to visit, restaurants (which we visited and enjoyed), and tips for finding unique experiences during our stay. (Wish we could have made it to Lake Vouliagmeni!) Friendly, knowledgeable and fun. We loved the experience.

A Must Do - What a great team! Most important was the communication from the start till we arrived. We've had issues on other trips with other operators so I am very cautious with plans. Usually I even over communicate to be comfortable. These folks, especially Telis was great, very patient & understanding. They even started us earlier than planned since we arrived early. Guide was awesome as well as the equipment. E Bikes made the tour easy on a very hot 100 degree day. Plenty of stops in the shade & water supplied. Even stopped for a drink at a local cafe with a chocolate waffle treat. Saw plenty with nice talks though out. Great location too

New great experience in Athens which every visitor should do - We booked this tour but we were curious as the traffic in Athens isn’t bike friendly. The tour we had was amazingly safe, no struggles with the traffic. Our guide spoke perfect English and took us to beautiful places. His knowledge was was perfect. The bike was in perfect condition. We can recommend this tour and although we have been numerous times in Athens, this was a completely new experience!
