Till, my leader was very knowledgeable and fun! The tour meandered through a mostly flat area in the heart of Athens, with stops at the historical sites. Till had recently finished his masters in Balkan Studies, which includes archeology and history, so he was extremely knowledgeable. His English was flawless because of his time in the U.S. as an exchange student. He also speaks German and French fluently! The electric bike worked flawlessly. We had a fun coffee stop and Till treated me to a chocolate covered waffle. Delicious! Highly recommend this tour.

Dear Kevin, Thank you so much! We're thrilled you enjoyed the tour and our little coffee and waffle break—it’s one of our favorite parts too! 😊 We loved having you with us and appreciate your kind words!

Excellent tour on bike

Lynn_R, Oct 2024
Excellent tour with e-bikes through many top attractions. Needed to change our date by a couple of days and host was excellent in offering alternate times! Saw many sights that we couldn’t possibly see on foot. George was very detailed and the pace was enjoyable. Stopped at a beautiful restaurant for refreshments and a snack which was included.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Lynn, Thank you for the great review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the bike tour and that we could accommodate your date change. Hope to see you again on another adventure!

Athens is better by bike!

Karla_M, Sep 2024
We had a wonderful time with Joanne (sp?) biking through the city botanical garden, circling the acropolis on city streets, rolling through neighborhoods we would never have experienced on our own, and stopping at a quaint cafe for beverage and a chocolate covered waffle. It was such a great opportunity to get to know the city, and not just the ruins (nothing against them, but this city has a lot more to offer!). Joanne was a super guide, sharing city insights with humor and smarts. And once the ride was over, they went beyond the call of duty, giving us a terrific list of places to visit, restaurants (which we visited and enjoyed), and tips for finding unique experiences during our stay. (Wish we could have made it to Lake Vouliagmeni!) Friendly, knowledgeable and fun. We loved the experience.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you very much for your kind words Yasmina. We are really happy that you enjoyed our Bike Tour and hope to see you again in Athens!!

A must! Discovering really nice spots and curiosities!

Giuseppina_M, Apr 2022
Even I was alone for the tour, we did it (amazing). The tour is really nice, the guide (Telis) super kind, professional and full of info regarding the history and the curiosity of Greece. You have the possibility to see a lot of spots in the center and to enjoy a Greek coffee with the view of Acropolis. Even if I live here since a while, I discover new places. Thanks a lot for the super nice tour!

Awesome

Orla_c, Jul 2021
I enjoyed it a lot. Was great. Thanks Guide was great. Left on time. Seen a lot and had nice waffles.

Guide sympathique

Morgane_P, Jul 2021
Georges le guide en français est très sympathique. La Ballade surtout autour du centre historique n'est pas trop physique mais pour les non sportifs, préférez le vélo électrique. Une pause rafraîchissements est appréciée au milieu. Cette visite permet rapidement de mieux connaître la ville en passant par des petites rues et en évitant la circulation intense d'Athenes ! Très appropriée avec des ados.
