Stavros was fantastic - he showed us around Athens and explained all the history at each stop! We had a small group which made it even more personable! Would highly recommend this tour as a great way to see the highlights of the city.

Best way to appreciate Athens

Cheri, May 2025

Excellent orientation to the city sights, safe riding, and provided interesting background to the historical development of Athens. Stavros was knowledgeable and personable. His directions while riding were excellent, I felt safe in every way navigating foot traffic, city traffic, and a few small hills. His in-depth knowledge at each stop sorted out the ancient history of the ruins to make them memorable and also were insightful in the context of the city's history. This was a great tour of Athens due in large part to the excellent guide. A must for every first time visitor.

Fantastic, covering so many place with great knowledge

Jeff_K, Oct 2024

This was fantastic, we looked at a lot of options before booking this, Seqways and other electric options but decide to do the normal bike. When booking I struggled to understand why this one had a lot more that it visited, when we started the tour we saw all the other tours and due to the road and amount of tourists they struggle to get around to all the areas we were able to. This really was a highlight of our trip to Greece, our tour guide Stavros has a very in depth knowledge of the areas history and made the experience really enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience

Fun and informative bike tour of Athens

Cheryl_S, Sep 2024

Stavros is the owner and guide. He tailored the tour to our speed and interests. He was knowledgeable and made the tour interesting by taking us to back alleys, flea markets, fish/meat market, and many historical sites. We were mostly on quiet roads that were flat and easy to pedal. There were a few short hills.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you very much Cheryl! Have a wonderful time in Greece. Best wishes!

History can be fun!

David_T, Sep 2024

What an excellent way to be introduced to all that Athens has to offer! Stavros is an excellent guide; his knowledge of Greek history is impressive and his enthusiasm is infectious. The biking was not too hilly and Stavros navigated to avoid the worst of the vehicle and pedestrian traffic. My wife and I recommend it highly! David from Canada

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you very much David! It was a great ride. Best wishes!

Fantastic bike tour!

Christina_S, Aug 2024

The bike tour with Stavros was amazing! Bikes were in good condition, and we got right to it - essentially a full loop of Athens hitting all the highlights. Stavros is extremely knowledgeable about Athens and can literally answer anything. Exploring the various neighborhoods was fantastic! Would certainly recommend.

Greece, gears and gyros- the best way to experience Athens

Robyn_G, Jul 2024

It was my first time visiting Athens and only had the Sunday afternoon to see as much as i could before a busy few days of meetings. The bike tour with Stavros could not have been more perfect!! Stavros is incredibly friendly and welcoming and his knowledge of Athens was exceptional. The route is easy to cycle, with lost of variety of scenery- from cobbled streets to shaded gardens and a stunning viewpoint stop. Stavros also gave some fantatsic tips on local spots to visit and his suggestion of one of the oldest grillery in town, with the best souvlaki, was spot on! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would 100% recommend Flat Tyres to anyone visiting Athens.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you very much for the nice words Robyn! It was a pleasure to cycle Athens with you. Best wishes!

Do it!

Serita_B, Jun 2024

This was lots of fun and very informative! Stavros is an excellent guide. I love riding a bike but I’m horrible at it and Stavros made sure I was safe and ok at all times. We saw so much in Athens and it was by far our favorite tour over the course of our three day visit.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you very much Serita! You did it great on the bike! Have a wonderful time in Greece!!!

Excellent ride!

Brian_F, Sep 2023

3 hours in such heat but well worth the challenge. Stavros gave very good historical knowledge in his tour . Brought us thru sights not normally visited. He made sure we were all safe crossing busy streets and seemed genuinely interested in sharing his country with us. Would highly recommend his tour to friends and family.
