This was incredible!! 10/10 highly recommend. We had a great tour guide. He was super knowledgeable and very friendly. I was skeptical about doing this in Athens, thinking it was not a "bike friendly" city, but I'm so glad we did.
Would recommend for reasonable cyclists

Very good experience! Elizabeth was a very good guide. At times, we thought she rode off too quickly. Less time at the changing of the guards.
Fun way to see City!

Such fun way to see the city sights. Our guide Rena was fantastic. She got us to the changing of guards and also took great photos of us. The bikes were super easy to use - no worries on the hills!
A wonderful introduction to Athens

I had booked the tour for the first day of our holiday, hoping it would provide a good overview and introduction to Athens. Our guide, Alex was interesting and funny throughout the tour, keeping us together and leading us at a steady pace. The tour content was perfect for our needs and the e-bikes were simple to use. I would highly recommend.
