“Very nice little tour through some of the historic areas in Athens. Easy riding but sometimes have to weave around a lot of pedestrians. The bikes worked fine.
Our guide Marios was very good, he spoke excellent English and was easy to understand. There where a number of stops where he explained some of the history or things to go see and do. Well worth spending a morning doing this ride.” Less

“We were in a 4-day visit of Athens, and had a blast of stay in general, while this was definitely a highlight of our trip. The tour includes around 3 hours of bike tour to all major city sights, after which the bikes are left at the starting point, and from there on, a guided Acropolis walking tour takes on, which entrance is just like 10-min on foot from there. Very inclusive tour, and highly recommendable.” Less

All-inclusive tour of Athens
“The perfect way to combine and experience the highlights of Athens city centre and Acropolis all at once. Our guide, Demos, knew a lot about the city, and shared a lot of interesting facts with us. A plus was also that our group was not too big, so we were able to move around easily.”
