Greece, gears and gyros- the best way to experience Athens - It was my first time visiting Athens and only had the Sunday afternoon to see as much as i could before a busy few days of meetings. The bike tour with Stavros could not have been more perfect!! Stavros is incredibly friendly and welcoming and his knowledge of Athens was exceptional. The route is easy to cycle, with lost of variety of scenery- from cobbled streets to shaded gardens and a stunning viewpoint stop. Stavros also gave some fantatsic tips on local spots to visit and his suggestion of one of the oldest grillery in town, with the best souvlaki, was spot on! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would 100% recommend Flat Tyres to anyone visiting Athens.

Do it! - This was lots of fun and very informative! Stavros is an excellent guide. I love riding a bike but I’m horrible at it and Stavros made sure I was safe and ok at all times. We saw so much in Athens and it was by far our favorite tour over the course of our three day visit.

Interresting and fun way of exploring Athens - If you want an informative and enjoyable city tour by bike in Athens go for Flat Tires. Stavros who is the owner has a remarkable and interresting way of telling the history of Athens. He has so much knowledge and he gave us a lot of good tip for exploring more. We are so pleased and glad that we chose him. This was one of the coolest thing we did in Athens.

Athens by bike - simply wonderful - We went out into the city with Jannis. It was a wonderful experience. Jannis was a sensitive, entertaining and knowledgeable guide. The bikes were OK and the bike tour was entertaining and recommended for everyone. When we come back to Athens we will definitely do another tour with Flat Tires.
