We have made a beautiful bike tour to the coast. Where there was plenty of time for questions and at the stop at the cultural center we got a cup of coffee and we could enjoy the fountain performance with opera music on the terrace. Our guide Sap also told us a lot about Greek life which we found very interesting. We highly recommend the tour to the coast.
Had a bike tour with Joost. Beautiful sights and very informative. Definitely recommended! The bikes were also perfect.
Kudos to Charlotte, a young but knowledgeable and very friendly guide. Quite pleasant tour, maybe not entirely worthy of its name - we did not spend so much time at sea or along the coastline, and a bit too much at Stavros Niarchos. Most of the bikes need some maintenance & repairing too.
Nice bike route with nice guide. We were early in the season so also happened to have a private tour. Super friendly and room for a little freedom like an extra coffee break.
Very nice tour! Seen a lot, cycled along the coast and learned a lot about history and current Athens. Highly recommended!
We found it very fun and interesting (says my adolescent;) And great that we got an upgrade to an e-bike. Thanks for the drink! Joost is a very enthusiastic man who can tell well.
Made a bike ride to the coast with Joost. About the only bike path in Athens. Joost talked a lot about the Stravos Niarchos building where the national library is also located. Furthermore, the tour went along the water and we took a look at one of the marinas of Athens. A fun tour to do.
We cycled the Athens coastline tour with Niek this morning. Highly recommended, because what a beautiful tour and what an enthusiastic guide! With great passion he shared his stories and knowledge of the city. The highlight (literally and figuratively) was the visit to the national opera house (also library) where you have a beautiful view of the city on one side and the harbor on the other and where the ‘dancing fountains’ surprised us.
Nice bike tour where you see another Athens. Beautiful building of the national opera and library with fantastic views and a beautiful roof garden. Also stood feet in the sea. Joost is a friendly guide with beautiful stories.
It was an educational trip with the final destination being a splash in the sea. Our Guide clearly indicated the direction provided safe crossing and good stories.
