Athens Electric Bike Tour

Great George

George the Great was wonderful. We booked a small group tour but it was just me and my fiancé and George was wonderful to spend time with, great guide, informative, charming and kind. Pedal assisted bicycles are the only way to tour even if you think you are a strong cyclist.

Athens Street Food Walk

Jo_R, Apr 2026

Eating our way through Athens :-)

We really enjoyed this experience! The places we visited felt very authentic and not "tourists traps" We are foodies and we already had some knowledge of Greek food but we did discover new flavors and stories behind the different dishes we tried. Thank you to Iota (I think that's how her name is written) for adjusting the pace to accommodate for some members of our group that had relatively limited mobility. Really recommend this tour. The tour is very good value for money

Great tour with an extremely knowledgeable guide. Anastasia knew all about the site and also about points of interest along the way. I wanted to also thank the organizers. I’m a bit of a nervous traveler, always sure I will be at the wrong place or the wrong time. The organizers were so communicative and thorough that I felt confident the whole time. Thank you!

We have Angelos and Demos for the two different parts of our tour. Both were amazing! Angelos did the bike part and handled our four teenage boys with grace!

We had an incredible...

We had an incredible experience on our Athens walking tour with an archaeologist—our guide, Peter, was truly outstanding. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Having someone with such deep knowledge and passion for history made everything come to life in a way that no guidebook ever could. Peter explained the historical context, myths, and significance of each site with clarity and enthusiasm, making it engaging for both adults and kids in our group. We especially appreciated how he connected ancient history to what we were seeing in front of us, helping us better understand the importance of each landmark. The pace of the tour was perfect, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and take in the surroundings without feeling rushed. Peter was also very friendly, patient, and attentive to our group’s needs. If you’re visiting Athens, we highly recommend booking a walking tour with an archaeologist—having a guide like Peter adds so much depth and meaning to the experience and makes the history unforgettable!

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.

Love this tour

The tour guide was amazing. She was given facts answering questions from the start and very excited about giving information about the tour. My phone died and she offered to take some pictures and send them to me. Forgot to bring an umbrella or a poncho. She shared her umbrella with me and when in very in depth of every point this to our group. everyone got this little box that was connected to her microphone, so everybody could hear without being right upon our.

Athens Authentic Greek Food Walking Tour (Small Group)

Melanie_S, Nov 2025

Exceptional Tour

We would highly recommend this tour. What we thought was to be a tour only about food was actually a Greek history/food tour. Andreas did a great job of providing samples of local foods. He also provided the background of each food and where the influence came from for the particular dishes we ate. Prepare to come hungry, we had far more food than we could possibly eat. Despite a torrential downpour, Andreas still made the best of the tour. Andreas kept it interesting throughout the tour. He is full of knowledge. It was a wonderful experience.

Wonderful tour.

The tour company was incredibly accommodating, especially since our flight was delayed. They went above and beyond to help us reach the tour guide without any hassle.

It was an incredible and enjoyable experience for a first-timer to explore Greek cuisine.
