Great experience of Ios culture and history by e-bike - Thank you George for this amazing and entertaining e-bike tour. This was a perfect combination of sports with culture and history of Ios. We particularly enjoyed the cheese tasting and Eleni‘s hospitality at the Diaseli cheesery. Keep it up! Katrin & Juerg

Big thumbs up! - This tour is perfect if you want to know more about Ios. George was so amazing and very passionate about the preservation of the history of the Island. He even picked us up from our hotel! He is dedicated to providing knowledge to all that have interest. Skarkos archeological site was amazing to see. George provided a wealth of information on the history and traditions on Ios. Helen provided a tour of Diaseli Cheesery and spoke to the equipment that is used on a traditional farm and the amount of labour involved. The cheese tasting was so delicious and Helen was an excellent host! George was a great help when it came to familiarizing us with the e-bikes and made sure we were comfortable. He gave us the opportunity to see the land that he and his wife cultivate with olive trees, fig trees and oregano. We were treated with fresh figs that he allowed us to pick from one of his fig trees. So delicious! I highly recommend exploring the island with George! You will not be disappointed!

Just book it! - My friends and I all agreed that this was the most worthwhile thing we’ve ever done on a vacation. Our guide, George, was not only knowledgeable about the history of the island but also very funny and personable. I learned so much about Ios. The tour lasted 4-5 hours with a 1500 ft elevation gain in 81 degree weather. George came prepared with lots of water for everyone as well as dried figs as a snack, grown from his own trees. He also had powdered electrolytes to make sure no one got dehydrated. The cheesery had amazing cheese and wine as well as a fun tour with explanation of the history of the cheesery and how it’s changed throughout the generations. You should have good cardiovascular health to do this activity but don’t need to be an expert on a bike at all the electric component makes the trek up the mountain doable.

So happy we did this - What is there bad to say.... nothing at all. The bikes were in good repair, the views were awesome, George our guide was full of knowledge, wisdom, and laughter. You can tell George has a passion for life here on the island and is very proud of the place he calls home. It comes out while he shares information and history of Ios. As foodies, history nerds, and gym rats. My wife and I loved this tour. So step away from the beach and the bars for a few, and jump on a E-bike with George I promise you won't be disappointed
