A must do - Best 2.5 hours of the trip to Athens. Got around most of the city and the bikes took little effort to move. Our guide Yota was brilliant also. Do the night time one as city attractions more impressive

Great way to spend the evening hours - Athens is alive at night so at no point did we feel like it was boring or dead while riding through the city. Our guide was very funny and informative. It felt like getting to know the city through the eyes of a local while also being personable so it felt like traveling with a friend. He even quoted my big fat greek wedding! We had a blast and the tour size was really small, just 4 of us. The e bike really helped get through the crowds and up some very mild hills. I will say that you'll use your bell a lot, pedestrians really don't care that you need to get through but will move (eventually). The big benefit to this tour was that it was cool temp wise and the sun was down. Seeing the historical sights all lit up at night was really cool. We were able to walk through the tour path we took again in the day time in case you wanted to get closer as most everything during the tour was a driveby or a quick stop. Our guide asked us about our trips and travel goals and then brought out a map at the end of the tour to circle spots he thought we would enjoy.

Amazing tour- we would do it again! - Truly a wonderful experience. The bikes were in good condition, the instruction was thorough but not overkill, and the guide was amazing. Yota was funny, informative, friendly, and so bubbly I just loved her. We had an amazing time and I think the sights at this time were even more beautiful than during the day

Athens at night condensed bike - Excellent night tour where once you must miss out on Athens, although there are thousands of things to do there is always something to condense and this tour does it super well.

Best trip in Athens - Our guide Yota was fantastic. She made it fun, and educational. This was a highlight of our time in Athens. Seeing the ancient sites lit up at night and cruising through lively neighborhoods was amazing.

άδραξε την μέρα - George was an amazing guide! He took time to make sure everyone was comfortable on the bikes and was a plethora of information about Athens and the history of the city. Nothing felt rushed, but he still kept us on schedule. He even snuck in a surprise “changing of the guards” at the house of the president. That was quite an interesting experience! We Bike Athens was altogether a very respectable business. I love what they are doing!
Also, it was HOT, and a night tour was much more comfortable. Great idea!

Beautiful Tour! - Really fun way to see the city at dusk and dark. George took great care of us, as I was a bit nervous to get on a bike in an unfamiliar city and after recovering from an injury. Such a beautiful and fun journey through Athens. Great to do solo too. Definitely recommend this!
