The tour guide was exceptional! The bike ride was perfectly balanced, stopping at ancient sites along the ride around old athens.

Would do it again :)

sabahudin_b, Oct 2024

Great experience and a cool way to see and explore Athens. Our guide was polite and at the service all time with a lot of patience for everyone. Great tour timing to be in front of the presidential palace when guards are changing and having that "show"

Athens on 2 wheels

Joanne_H, Sep 2024

A great way to see the sights, a different perspective from just a walking tour. Our guide was really helpful and knowledgeable about the city. It also helps having an e-bike.

Worth the money

Amy_G, Jul 2024

Great overview of main attractions and views in Athen's city. 6 mile bike ride was fairly easy and tour provided a great background and viewing of most of the key landmarks in Athens. Would recommend.

What a great way to see Athens

Graham_L, Jun 2024

What a great way to see Athens. Gabriella was a fantastic guide and the technology she used worked really well. Thoroughly recommended

Ride with care

Gary_Y, May 2024

It’s was a good tour but a little too crowded to be riding bikes with so many people on the busy streets. We got to see many sights up close and stopped when we wanted to see something. I wouldn’t recommend this if you’re not confident on a bike with crowded streets. My wife fell off as she was trying to avoid people who wouldn’t move. We still had a good time despite the fall.

Great tour, not to miss!

Megan_C, May 2023

Great private tour! Best way to see the city, via E-Bike. We saw everything and learned so much about Athens. Our guide Denial (spelling wrong) was awesome, she was very knowledgeable of history and the city. Highly recommend

Best Introduction to Athens

Michele_K, Nov 2022

A fantastic tour! Wonderful introduction to major historical sites and interesting neighbourhoods, in this great city Athens. Our guide, Alex, was knowledgeable, informative and engaging. Enjoyed this two-wheeled tour from beginning to end. Highly recommend tour.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hello Michele, thank you for your review and recommendation. It was my pleasure to show you both around. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay! Alex

Fun enjoyable ride!

Dale_C, Nov 2022

What a fabulous ride throughout Athens! Alex our tour guide was wonderful, setting an easy pace for us and sharing historical facts while visiting major sights and some hidden gems. The e-bikes are fun and simple to use and allow you to get up hills with little effort (we were a group of 4, over 60 yrs old). A definite must while visiting Athens! Easy scheduling online. Ask for Alex 😃

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hi Dale, thank you for the great review. I'm so glad you had a fabulous ride and enjoyed the ease of the ebikes. It was my pleasure to show you around and hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay :) Alex

It’s a must!

JeeYoung_C, Jul 2022

Everything! Dmitri was wonderful and personable. We learned so much about the rich history of Athens in a short amount of time. It was also an added bonus to have the e-bikes-it gave our feet a break after walking around all day the previous day.

This is very interesting and informative ebike tour covering a lot of ground in 3.5 hrs. Ideal for tourists with not enough time in Athens. Guide was good.

Craig H, Sep 2015

Angelo provided a detailed and informed tour of the sites of Athens. He was extremely articulate and provided a very personal touch to our tour. It was very interesting talking to him about Athens. The ebikes were welcome on some of the steep hills on the tour. I would highly recommend this tour for a great overview of Athens.

A faire !

ALINE N, Aug 2017

Excellente visite d'une Athènes aux multiples visages, notamment grâce aux discussions avec la guide Laurence, qui a rendu vivante cette ballade à travers les rues mais aussi l'histoire passionnante de la Grèce et pas qu'Antique. On recommande!
