5.00Absolutely fantastic. Our guide was brilliant. Very knowledgeable, friendly and smiley throughout. The timings were perfect and we definitely discovered things we wouldn’t have found ourselves. It exceeded our expectations.

5.00This was a wonderful experience. The bikes were in great condition. The tour was lovely and went all around the Acropolis so we saw some pretty amazing sites. Neek, our guide, was funny, informative, and just an all around nice guy. The tour took approximately 2.5 hours and we had plenty of stops to get off the bikes and walk around too. He even timed the tour so we were able to see the changing of the guard up close and personal. We felt safe riding through the city. Highly recommend, especially if you are only in the city for a short time.

5.00Niek is the B. E. S. T. tour guide! He’s full of fascinating knowledge and history, but also humor. I felt right at home as well as super safe with Niek leading the way. Though modest … he also takes rad pictures! And of course he takes you through the most picturesque spots to take them!
A must do!

Super experience at the start of our trip to Athens

5.00What a super experience this was! We had booked the tour in Dutch and turned out to be the only 2 and so we had a private tour with Helena. Highly recommended to do so at the beginning of your stay. Fine bikes and Helena told at all stops something about the place and took exactly the time we needed (not too long but also not too short). The changing of the guard was also nice to see. We also received good tips afterwards: we feasted on the loukoumades the next day and also went to the luxury shopping street with beautiful buildings that Helena had recommended.
