What an amazing sunset tour. Our guide, Stergios was so wonderful. He took us to all of the beautiful, historical sites in Athens. Was full of interesting information. Informed us of all of the best places for photo opportunities. He even showed us the best place to stand for the changing of the guards ceremony. He was truly wonderful and so patient. I highly recommend this tour with Sergios.

Great way to see the main sights and then decide where to spend more time after. Dennis, my guide, was SUPER knowledgable of the city and history.
Kelly_H, Mar 2026
Fabulous tour! George was awesome!! Highly recommend! This is a great way to see Athens. You do bike through people walking so it can be a bit intimidating.

We had an absolutely fantastic bike tour in Athens with Sterios — truly one of the highlights of our trip.
From the very beginning, Sterios was friendly, respectful, and genuinely funny, and we clicked with him instantly. He has an impressive depth of knowledge about Athens and its sights, but what really stood out was how naturally he shared it — engaging, relaxed, and never overwhelming. As our first tour guide in Athens, he honestly set the bar very high.
It had rained the night before, and Sterios thoughtfully adjusted the route to avoid muddy or slippery paths, which we really appreciated. That kind of situational awareness and care made us feel completely comfortable and well looked after throughout the tour.
He also took the time to recommend excellent bars and restaurants around the city. We didn’t manage to try all of them during our stay, but the ones we did visit were spot on — fantastic recommendations that we’re still talking about.
This was our first “touristy” bike ride, and we loved it far more than we expected. The time flew by without us even noticing, and we still think back on how much fun we had. Sterios truly elevated the entire experience and made it memorable in the best possible way.
Highly, highly recommended.

Our e-bike tour was fabulous! Ste, the tour guide was patient, safety conscious and so knowledgeable. Our family group of 8 included 2 kids (ages 6 & 9 on the back of bikes) and an active 70yo. We were able to cover a lot of ground, see Athens highlights with historical context, and received great recommendations along the way. 10/10, would recommend. Thanks, Ste!
Alicia_C, Nov 2025
This was the best way to start my Athens trip! If I do nothing else but this I will be happy!! So friendly and kind and simply wonderful! I wish I could give this 100 stars!
Steven_G, Nov 2025
This was such an amazing way to experience the Acropolis and nearby areas! We were going to do it first day to orient ourselves, but due to rain put it off til last day in Athens. A great way to recap and to see everything from new angles. Our guide Reya (not sure spelling) was funny, nice, and super knowledgeable. We got our absolute best views of the Acropolis and temples atop, rode through Plaka and Monastiraki streets, saw the Zeus temple, wound through the gorgeous National Gardens, and she took us to see the changing of the guard around the corner from Syntagma in front of the president's residence. No crowds at all unlike the other place! The bikes were comfortable and easy to ride and she was very careful to make sure were were all safe and together at all times. Completely worth it and a great way to begin or end a trip to Athens or at any time!

What a ride! George, our guide, was funny, knowledgeable and savvy. Timed our tour very strategically given time of day and crowds. George and this tour are highly recommended. Super fun!
Allison_H, Oct 2025
What an amazing time we had. If you go, ask for Stelios (sp) who was do thoughtful abd knowledgeable about every site we visited. It’s obvious he has a passion for his work and is truly a lovely person! If you go, be sure you’re comfortable on a bike (don’t worry about it being ab electric bike) and that you can navigate crowds on a bike, because you’ll be in the thick of Athens tourist. But it was so worth it! Highly recommend!
Naiele_O, Oct 2025
AMAZING! Our guide Ste was super knowledgeable, accommodating, professional, and personable! I went with my teen and toddler daughters and we had an amazing time! Climbing uphill was effortless on the e-bikes. Dodging tourists was the tricky part, but Ste led our party pretty well. The only downside.. the seats were a little rough, but I blame my short stature (4’11) and needing to bear all the weight on my pelvic area. This tour made our trip in Athens very enjoyable!
Thijs_H, Oct 2025
Having Niek as our tour guide really made the difference! He knows so much and shares it all. Together with some excellent bikes, you will enjoy this trip a lot!
Ike_F, Oct 2025
George was our fantastic bike riding guide. Because it was Sunday he took us to a remote spot so we could see the changing of the guard. That in an of itself was worth the price of the ticket. George took pictures. He took us to unique spots and gave us time to look around. He guided us through the masses of people with patients and a calmness that helped us all to enjoy the ride.
JULIO_G, Oct 2025
The guide was a great guy, he shared many insights about the (glorious) history of Athens and took us through the main spots of the city, telling us stories, fun facts and important pieces of information about the amazing heritage Greece has given to humankind. He was also careful that nobody got lost and always kept an eye on our safety, particularly of the youngest members of the group. Definitely a great host to show Athens !
Angela_F, Sep 2025
What a fantastic way to really visit different parts of Athens and see many historical sights. Very educational and fun!
Dianne_J, Sep 2025
Informative and enjoyable cycle tour. We received excellent information on the many historical treasures of Athens. All while avoiding Athens busy streets.
Alyssa_K, Sep 2025
We had such a fantastic time on our e-bike tour through Athens! What made the experience truly special was our wonderful guide — a kind and knowledgeable young woman who made the tour feel incredibly personal and unique.
As it turned out, it was just the two of us on the tour, which meant she tailored the entire experience to our interests and pace. She was super friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly passionate about the history and culture of Athens. Her knowledge of the city — from ancient landmarks to local stories — brought everything to life in such a fun and engaging way.
The e-bikes were a perfect way to explore Athens! They made getting around the city smooth and easy, even in the September heat. We got to see all the major highlights — including some off-the-beaten-path spots — without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
It felt more like a fun day out with a local friend than a typical tour. We learned a lot, laughed along the way, and left with a much deeper appreciation for the city.
We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens — especially if you're lucky enough to have her as your guide!
Donna_W, Sep 2025
So glad we took this tour as we got to see many sights we would have not seen on bus tours or many walking tours. Denis was so knowledgeable. He has even written a book called Athens Revealed which he was able to use to teach us more about what we were looking at throughout the tour. E-bikes made it very easy to get around. A couple of traffic areas but was warned of them so we were easily able to manuveur through. Very safe.
Leslie_A, Aug 2025
Amazing morning with Rhea!
Fantastic tour with amazing detail., personality and humor! Def makes the Greek highlight reel!
Lynn_B, Jul 2025
My fiancé, and 18 year old twins, and I really enjoyed this tour. It was the perfect way to spend our first evening in Athens. The e-bikes were easy to use and helped so much getting up the hills. Our guide “Neek the Greek” who isn’t actually Greek, has a great love for Greek culture and history. He was very knowledgeable and taught us so much about all the places we saw. I highly Dec one d this tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you so much! We're happy you and your family had a great first evening in Athens with us. We'll be sure to pass your kind words to Niek — he’ll love hearing this!
Tom_P, Jul 2025
The tour was really good. A good way to see the centre in a short amount of time. The bikes were good, I found them a little difficult to use at first but you quickly get used to them. They give you a bottle of water which was definitely needed with the heat. We booked the 10am tour but it was still really hot, but we always stopped in the shade where possible. All the staff we spoke to were super friendly and make you feel at ease. We did our tour in Spanish and our guide Nancy was really knowledgeable, a really down to earth and sweet girl (with a contagious laugh). I would definitely recommend the tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and felt comfortable with our team. We'll make sure to pass your lovely feedback to Nancy — she'll be so happy to hear it!
Paige_D, Jul 2025
I booked an early morning & fast tour and someone canceled so I ended up being a private tour. I only had a few hours to explore Athens, and this bike tour was the best way to do it. I got to see and learn about so many monuments very quickly and away from the heat. The tour guide (can’t remember his name but he was 23-25 years old) and the owner were extremely accommodating and kind. They gave many recommendations and even helped me find the best way to get to my destination. THANK YOU!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We’re really glad it all worked out perfectly and you got a private tour! 😄 Our team always tries to make the most of your time — especially on a tight schedule. We’ll pass on your kind words to the guide (we think we know exactly who you mean 😉). Safe travels and hope to see you again one day!
Alexander_D, Jun 2025
We had a fantastic experience doing this. The tour just orientated my partner and I for what was where and as a special bonus we got to see the changing of the guards at the parliament. Recommend trying to do a 10am session on a Sunday so you can see this happen. Fantastic experience. Thank you
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much! We’re really happy you and your partner enjoyed the tour the changing of the guards is always a special moment to catch! 🇬🇷 Glad we could help you get your bearings in the city. Hope to see you again sometime!
Naomi_P, Jun 2025
It was fine. Not amazing but not bad. No complaints related to the company or the tour guides. The tour guides were great and the bikes were about average. The sites are nice to see but I just don’t think this is the best way to see Athens. The sites are too close together to get to enjoy the bike experience much. If you’re looking for a quick way to see a lot of sites this is a good plan. If you want to enjoy riding the bikes then maybe choose a different route.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thanks Naomi. Glad you liked it. This is indeed the intention of the tour to see all sights in 2,5 hours. For some the best way :)
Indeed if someone just wants to cycle Athens center is not the place to do that hut they can choose the coast line tour that has riding and only 2 stops.
So maybe an idea for next time.
Landon_D, Jun 2025
The bike tour was really fun for me and my two friends. Our group was just five of us and our guide, Kon, who was young like us and made the whole trip entertaining and enjoyable. The sites are beautiful and the tour gives a good overview of all the monuments. I would definitely recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your time in Athens to get situated with the city. The electric bikes were great. I had never used one before, and it made uphill feel like nothing. 10/10 recommend this tour.
Ellen_V, Jun 2025
It was great. You ride thru the city and even get to see the changing of the guards at the palace. Lotsa historical Information!
Michelle_C, May 2025
An amazing way to see all around the acropolis - without the lines or crowds. You also go through several little towns. George was so knowledgeable and made sure we all had a great time.
Harpreet_T, May 2025
This was a great 2-3 hour bike ride experience. We were able to see most of Athens in a small amount of time. Our tour guide was great!

This was fantastic!! We arrived from the US early in the morning, had some food, took a short nap and then Ebiked with George. Perfect thing to do after a long flight! Great tour introducing us to so many sites in a short time. George was very knowledgeable and fun! The bikes were in great shape and easy to ride. George also gave us smart tips for the rest of our days in Athens at the end of the ride. 10/10!!!
Toon_S, May 2025
Nick was an incredible tour guide—friendly, experienced, and deeply knowledgeable about the history of Athens. The tour itself was fantastic, offering a great overview of the city, and thanks to the e-bikes, we got to visit places that wouldn’t be accessible on a regular bike tour. A truly unique way to explore! 😊
Paul_W, Apr 2025
Loved the ride around town and great we had used electric bike’s before. You get used to them after a few minutes and a great way to see Athens with the local guide giving you enough info but not boring you with information overload
