A Fabulous sunny ride in Athens
We thoroughly enjoyed this ebike experience. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. Our guide was very interesting and entertaining.
Safety was priority. Both guides (front of pack and back) were patient with those that had little or no experience with biking or e-bike. One our best Athens experiences

Simply the best!
We were treated like royalty traveling with our guide, Yianis Pappas. He had great communication and organized our day to see everything we wanted including a few hidden gems and requests. It was so convenient having our own driver and guide to navigate the city and continue to check on our safety. I would highly recommend this tour and our guide!

Lots to learn. Be prepared to walk many steps and learn. Lovely city. The city is clean. We watched the changing of the guard. Acropolis is a must see!

Perfect for 1 day in Athens
Semis was fantastic!! We were picked up at our hotel in a beautifully clean Mercedes sedan- with a huge smile and some immediate laughs- a great start. Very knowledgeable and easy to chat with. Also very flexible. We adjusted plans as we went. This is definitely the way to spend a few hours in a new city. The lunch at Theodore’s was private- peaceful and absolutely deliciously delightful! Thank you all.

Engaging and Insightful Acropolis Tour
We took a two-hour walking tour in Athens with our guide, Alexandros Aslanidis, and it was excellent. The tour was very interesting.
Alexandros was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable, presenting the information in an engaging and accessible way.
Although the tour focused on the Acropolis, it also provided a great understanding of the broader history of Greece. Highly recommended.

Athens half day tour Acropolis
Picked us up from the cruise terminal and drove us through some very narrow streets to give us the best views of the historical sites he drove up to the entrance of the Pathenon and pointed us towards easy lift access. Brilliant. Gave us time for photos etc and a coffee break. Ending up with a really good Greek lunch with local wine. Good carefull driver. Clean top class car. A great day.
