We originally were supposed to take this tour the first night we arrived, but canceled flights required us to move it to the last day we were there. It was a great ride, Rhea was a fantastic guide and we learned so much more about Athens. Thank you for making it a great experience!
We had a great e-bike tour with Ste. It was a sunset tour that hit all the cool spots. He was very knowledgeable and engaging. My family of five loved it.
Very informative tour through the most interesting parts of Athens. Some bikes are not fully electric and require significant pedaling.
The bikes are well used and my seat and some others were very small (like road racing seats) and not comfortable. Watch the front brakes-well used (worn). George is a very good and knowledgeable guide. He also gave us a city map with recommendations for food and bars, also neighborhoods to avoid. The tour itself is pretty quick swing thru the outside of major sites. Good introduction to Athens overall. Electric bikes were new to us and it was great to see so much so easily.
This is one of the best things we did in Athens! The lights of the city at night are outstanding. We did a daylight bike tour as well and it was worth it to do it again by night, and it gave us an entirely different perspective. We were able to take photos that look like they should be on postcards.
So much fun! Got to see nooks and crannies of Athens! Loved to see the sites at night. Alex, the guide was knowledgeable, patient, helpful and kind. This was totally out of our comfort zone and Alex made it an A+experience!
This was an incredible experience! Our guide Rhea was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! The bikes were easy to manage and the sights at night were spectacular! She timed everything perfectly that we saw the changing of the guards!
This was a spectacular tour of the city! Ste was our guide for the trip and was extremely personable. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and shared so much information about the multiple stops on our ride. It truly is the best way to learn about the city especially in the evening when it is the perfect temperature. The bikes were also comfortable and the ride was not strenuous at all. Thanks again for a great experience!
Great experience to see the city. Guide was very informative and interesting. Book this with confidence.
Absolutely recommended! We were a little concerned because the weather said it was going to rain. However, our guide Rhea told us that the weather was unpredictable and we should go ahead and do the bike tour. I am so glad we listened to her because the tour was amazing from the start. Rhea was absolutely professional and patient with us, and she was always watching out for us and our safety. She was also very knowledgeable, and we found out she was an archaeologist, which was amazing when she was explaining everything along the way. We had multiple stops along the way and never felt tired or overwhelmed. I mention this because I had not ridden a bike in a long time. We visited so many places, took amazing pictures, and we were able to ride while there was still light out and also at night. Rhea offered us water from the start and showed us how to use the e-bikes. Super simple and so helpful. Overall, picking this tour was one of the best decisions of our trip, and having someone like Rhea be our tour guide was absolutely amazing. I can't wait to be back and do it all over again. Thanks, Rhea!
