A delightful tour of the city featuring plenty of insider spots and a thoroughly enjoyable coffee break! Xanthippe shares her love for the city with visitors. Well planned and organized — I highly recommend the e-bike.
The guide gave very good and interesting explanations. This way you learn a lot about the city. Everything went smoothly and safely in traffic. The pastry afterwards was also very tasty.
This is a really great way to see the city as someone who had never been before. Our guide Efthimis was an amazing host and gave lots of insight into the city and its culture. If you're concerned at all about the cycling, you don't need to be. There's a somewhat long hill right at the beginning, but it's totally manageable, and the rest of the cycling is very easy. Even with the intense heat wave, it was still a very enjoyable morning.
Booked this through Viator for a couples' trip and absolutely loved it. Everything from the meeting point to the tour pace was top-notch. It's a great value and it’s honestly the perfect way to see the city. 5/5 stars all day.
Nice trip and our guide knew a lot to tell Along the edges of the city you have a bike path in the city itself you cycle on the sidewalk so watch out for pedestrians.
We enjoyed the guided tour by Xanthippe - very informative with nice cool drink and pancakes welcome.
Super nice English-speaking guide
My guide was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The trip was a good way to get a quick overview of the city and its highlights.
What a pleasant bike tour this was! I love to get the sense of how it is to live as a local in other places and this tour delivered! Not only did we get the scoop on important landmarks around Thessaloniki, but we got a sense of living as a student in the city. V was an excellent conversationalist and shared his experiences as much as we participants shared ours. A truly enlightening and enjoyable tour!
Our guide Vanglesi was fantastic and our bike tour could not have been any better. We also enjoyed the friendly group we shared the tour with. Highly recommend this bike tour.
