5.00Alessio is amazing, SUPER professional, responsive and helpful. Alessio went above and beyond. He gave us great trails and helped us avoid weather hazards and thanks to him we were successful in finding a bike rental. And all in a very short time. In short SUPERB!

5.00I'm a beginner rider and I underestimated the Ymittos trails a bit, but Alessio was super patient and waited for me at each section giving me some useful tips along the way. He adjusted the route to my ability level and allowed me to push my boundaries while being safe the whole time. The trails have some amazing views of the whole city and a variety of terrain including rocks, roots, slabs and a couple of (optional) jumps. The e-bike was provided, with options to rent a helmet and protective gear, and Alessio drove me from our meeting spot at a metro station up to the mountain and back. All in all a nice experience. I wish I had more time in Athens to take some MTB lessons from Alessio, since he seems like a good teacher.

5.00Alessio led me through some of the best trails Greece has to offer. Although I am advanced mountain biker, it was helpful to be shown some of the best trails and be informed of the upcoming features. I rented one of his ebikes which was better than expected and perfectly set up for me. The riding in Greece was rocky, challenging and a lot of fun. Reminded me of some places I have ridden in Quebec and B.C. If you are into mountain biking, you don’t want to miss this.

5.00A had a fabulous morning with Alessio mountain biking Imittos. I'm an experienced mountain biker, and he took me on some fabulous routes that were exactly what I hope for. Alessio picked me up from my flat, on time, and gave me lots of great tips about Athens. Including the Greek-Irish network and bars :) Highly recommended!

5.00Great way to spend 3 hours riding single track trails on an ebike with Alessio. He was the driving force behind the start of mountain biking on the Ymmitos and a great guide. The ebikes were heavy but allowed for more downhill riding for the timeframe. He picked me up from a stop on the blue metro line and it was easy to arrange the meeting. Fun varied trails with a good mix of difficulty.

5.00From the first contact by email I knew this was going to be a great tour. Alessio is answering his emails responsively, he is an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, safety first with lots of opportunities for enjoyment. He knows the terrain very well and knows how to asses one's capabilities. I would highly recommend him and I cant wait to return to Athens to bike with him again- Thank you very much Alessio.

5.00I had an awesome afternoon riding in Ymittos with Alessio. He was very professional, excellent local knowledge and an all round great guy. He provided me with an Enduro bike for the ride along with gloves, helmet and knee pads. The area has some challenging trails and a stunning view over Athens to the med. Would highly recommend.

5.00This tour was completely outside my comfort zone (never done mountain biking before) and yet Alessio still managed to teach me in a way that was completely safe but pushed me. I left having seen the most incredible scenery, having thoroughly enjoyed his company and with some moments where I really felt like I was getting the hang of it. Alessio was super patient, he talked me through every stage in a way that really helped me to navigate it. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough, it’s an incredible way to see Athens.
