This was superb! I would highly recommend this ebike tour

Our guide led us through paths which were not too difficult for those who do not cycle routinely. His commentary was informative, interesting and contained surprises: he got us to a certain corner to see the parade of the changing of the guard without the crowds. I just loved his offer to photograph tour members at iconic sites such as with the Acropolis in background. At the end of our tour, he capped it off with several small but traditional Greek gifts, as it was my birthday...he helped make it memorable!

Best way to orientate yourself in Athens

We loved this tour and Marina, the tourguide's guidance and extra info. Opportunity to take beautiful photos. E-bikes makes it a fun, quick and easy way to zip between the different sites. Bikes in excellent condition. Loved the close up of the changing of the guards. Think it would be great to do the evening slot to see the monument lights. Beats a walking tour anytime.

This tour was exceptional - Georgos and Satiris, our guides, were excellent hosts and very knowledgeable without making it too touristy. Very contemporary stories and definitely super entertaining for me and my teenage daughter! The bikes were in good shape and probably the reason we covered 10+ km without even recognizing it. Thank you!!!
