Our favorite thing to do in a new city is to take a bicycle tour. Rena was our tour guide in Athens and she was excellent!! There were 9 people on tour and Rena quickly learned everyone’s names. The E-bikes were easy to learn how to use (Rena explained it perfectly). We saw so many beautiful sights and were able to see so much more on bike than we could walking. I would highly recommend!

The sunset bike tour was one of our highlights of our stay in Athens. The electric bikes were amazing as we toured around the city. We were a family of 7, and all of enjoyed the sights we were able to see along the way. Dimitris was our guide. He was excellent sharing the history of the city as we made our stop at the sites. I would highly recommend this activity during your stay.

Elizabeth was amazing! So much fun riding around the city and hearing about Greek history! Highly recommend this activity. Don’t wear a dress. My friend and I wore dresses and definitely regretted it since you have to get on and off the bike multiple times due to the stops.

Great way to see the city without doing a long walk. Not in depth, more like a sampling of Athens. Real bikers may want more, but it was a good way to get around easier. Our guide, Marios, was engaging and friendly, and was happy to take any questions we had. While we didn’t get a full historical breakdown of any given site, we did hear about a number of stories and histories along the way. Overall, we definitely recommend this for anyone who wants some exploration and get an idea of the city center.

I took several tours in Athens, and this tour was by far the best one I did. Exploring via Bike gets you to see more places and neighborhoods you normally would on a walking or a bus tour. Also, Dimitris was easily the best guide I had on my trip. He gave me the whole history of Athens and Greece, and why the city became what it is today.. He had too many entertaining stories to count that were interesting and gave me a deeper understanding of Athens that no other tour were able to give me. 5-stars all the way!
Wonderful way to see Athens! The pedal assist bikes were definitely the way to see a larger area of Athens.
We highly recommend

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our pedal assist bikes and found them to be a great way to explore Athens. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon! - Alex
Our tour guide, Alexandros, was excellent as was the tour. This e-bike was one of the highlights of our Greece trip. So glad a friend had recommended that we add this excursion to our plans. Initially, I was concerned about the Athens traffic and being on a bike, but this tour manages to avoid all the major roads. Alex took us to areas of Athens that we would not have otherwise visited. I think the highlight of the tour was the location Alex took us to with the best view of the Acropolis. I would highly recommend this tour and would definitely do it again should I find myself visiting Athens again.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Dear Christine, I'm thrilled to hear that our e-bike tour was one of the highlights of your Greece trip! I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my knowledge of Athens with you and show you the city from a unique perspective. I'm glad you felt comfortable on the e-bikes and appreciated the scenic routes we took to avoid the main roads. The view of the Acropolis is indeed a stunning highlight, and I'm happy to hear it was a favorite part of your tour. Thank you for your kind words and for recommending our tour to others - I look forward to welcoming you back to Athens again in the future! - Alexandros
Anytime we travel to a new city, we take the bike tour if offered. Great way to see where everything is in relationship to one another so you can return for further review. Karolis was excellent and kept things fun. This is must do tour.

Come back anytime, and I'll be happy to show you around again!
Warm regards - Karolis
Kostas was amazing! He put up with seven women on a personal bike tour through Athens and spent special time talking with each of us. This tour is worth every euro and you'll see so much in a short amount of time on these e-bikes A

Dear Jonathan, thank you for your lovely feedback and kind words! Our bike tour is definitely the best way to explore all of Athens has to give and I am glad to know you enjoyed it. Best wishes - Felix
We've taken e-bike tours in several cities when we travel. When we arrived in Athens, we were a bit nervous because the city is not a bike-friendly city. Yet, we trusted the other reviews. SO HAPPY we kept our reservation. Kostas was an amazing guide through the city. He was kind, funny, and a great ambassador to Athens & Greece. We were able to see the Acropolis and the city from a vantage point we never would have found on foot. We felt safe on bikes everywhere we rode. Highly recommend for teens and up.

Our guide Dimitris (I hope I am spelling it correctly) is an absolute legend. I want to be just like him when I grow up. The tour is leisurely paced so you don't need to be super fit and you will see some nice spots. But for me, it's the guide who made it. Funny bloke, really helpful, excellent tips about where to go in the city. And he even took his mum to theatre after our tour. What a guy!
