Founder's Tour: Turkey and Greece E-Bike & Boat tour
Nice trip with great biking, average food and poor boat. Hot water on The Love Boat was scarce and the bar was not stocked 4 days of 2 weeks.

Fun bicycle trip in Greece
Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
Our guide was terrific! I'd give him a 10 out of 10. There were problems on the boat (Erato). 1) Shower door wouldn't close.
2) Light over bed didn't work. 3) There was moisture from the air conditioning unit made all of the clothes in this closet drenched every night. 4) The air conditioner in our room barely worked. We would wake up to a sweat because it was very hot in our room.
We were given some wrong information: We were told to bring a beach towel. They had beach towels onboard. We were told to bring soap and shampoo. They had soap and shampoo onboard.- Countries included in this tour?

Nice tour through some of the less visited islands near Athens.
Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
Nice relaxing boat tour to less visited small islands. The crew that ran the boat was wonderful and the food was very good. The boat itself was very nice, so nice you had to take your shoes off when getting on the boat. Some cabins had problems with mosquitoes at night when trying to sleep. The terrain on the islands was mountainous so the E-bikes were very needed. Very Scenic roads. little traffic.
The schedule of what islands you visit does change depending on the weather. One thing I did not like was that the riding most days did not start until 3:30 pm. this was in Oct. and it stared getting dark before the ride was done a couple of times and theses bike had no lights or reflectors.- What was the date of your tour?

Great for solo travellers as well
Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
I came as a solo traveler and was a bit nervous about joining a group tour, but the friendly crew and fellow guests made it so easy to feel welcome. The blend of island hopping, cycling and swimming in the Aegean Sea was just the right amount of activity and downtime. Great value for a trip that really shows Greece differently.

Beautiful islands of Greece
Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
This trip was very enjoyable overall. The cycling routes were well planned and offered a nice variety of scenery, from quiet coastal roads to small island towns. The boat was comfortable and a pleasant place to relax after the rides, and the onboard chef did a great job — the meals were definitely one of the highlights. The group was friendly and diverse, which made for a relaxed and easy atmosphere throughout the week.
If there’s one thing I’d change, it would be to have dinner on board each evening instead of lunch, as it would be a nicer way to end the day together.

Unforgettable experience
Ionian Islands Multi-sport Family Cruise
Me, my husband and 2 daughters ages 10 and 6 enjoyed this experience! The tour guides Katerina and Isabelle were wonderful and so was the crew. The meals on board were also good. This tour is geared toward children, which is great as the bike rides are appropriately challenging for them. One thing that could have made our experience better is better sleep. Going to bed early is challenging in this environment because the rooms on the boat are right next to living quarters, yet sleep is essential especially for young kids. This could have been accomplished by adjusting the schedule to start the engine at 8 instead of 7 and possibly cruising more in the late evening instead of the first 3 hours of the day.
Overall we had a memorable experience and loved the bike rides, unique experience of sleeping on a boat, getting to know other families, and of course the swim stops for paddle boarding, snorkeling and kayaking.- What was the date of your tour?

What a great way to travel!
Greece: The Peloponnese Peninsula
Great trip with some really great people on our trip with us. So many beautiful locations along the way. Very hot during the day in Greek Summer, so keep that in mind. There were sections of roads that were not ideal for bikes (on busy roads for not more than a few kms at a time) with not much in the way of a shoulder to ride on for sections. Some pretty steep downhill sections as well, so need to be careful in parts! Overall though, a great experience. Looking to add similar trips into future travels!

Great trip with lots of positive experiences
Sparta and the Mediterranean Coast
This was a great way to see part of Greece. Because of the marathon from Athens to Sparta we had to stay in Misttriss which I thought was more romantic and authentic. Sparta had great Restuarants and the old ruins Sparta are a must to see.

Loving Greece!
Greece: The Peloponnese Peninsula
We had a really good tour. We love the self-guided approach, so that we can go at our own pace. The RideWithGPS app worked very well, and the turn-by-turn directions on it were excellent. We really appreciated the excellent restaurant recommendations (the food was SO good). The mix of scenery and culture were what we were seeking. The only reason I give this 4* instead of 5* is the issue of dogs. We were given a safety briefing and told how to deal with aggressive dogs, and that worked mostly, as long as we had time to react. There is a dog between Piana and Tripoli that raced out (with two other dogs) and I had no time to react and was bit on my leg. The bite broke the skin so I had to go to the hospital to get antibiotics and a tetanus shot. One of the other riders on the same itinerary was also bit by the very same dog! In Tripoli, we spoke to some locals who said, "we know that dog." So, this is a known issue, yet apparently no one has addressed it. One other rider on our itinerary got bit on a different day, by a different dog. So, that's 3 of 9 of us that got bitten. If not for the dog problem, this would be an excellent tour. As is, I still recommend it, but feel that riders should be aware of this issue. We had some very special interactions with locals, enjoyed the small towns along the route, LOVED Nafplio, and it was really fun to have three nights in Nafplio so that we didn't have to pack up our things as much. The bikes were very good. We didn't have any mechanical issues r flats, and the helmets were good (with visors). Things were organized well.

A Greay Way to Experience Greece
Greece: The Peloponnese Peninsula
Enjoyed a quieter side of Greece and met wonderful people along the way. The mountains were beautiful, sea side riding scenic, the agricultural valleys relaxing, and the ancient sites were amazing. We were a group of experienced riders ( ages early 60's through late 70's). E-bikes made the physical part of the trip very enjoyable and not too difficult. The cycling routes kept us off of the main highways the vast majority of the time. Greek hospitality was everywhere. On our daily routes we were offered water, invited into a home for a meal, and received gifts of fruit and nuts all along the way. One of our best trips!
Points to consider for future cyclists on this trip:
1-The e-bikes were either Fuji (step over seat) or Breezer (step through) models. Request your preference when booking. Had a few problems charging batteries overnight. Double check that your bike is indeed charging before leaving it for the night.
2-Use the app 'Ride with GPS' for your routes. Much easier than the materials provided by the company.
3- Hotels in Vytina, Tripoli, and Napflio were very satisfactory. The hotel in Paralia Astros (Ariandne Hotel) was unsatisfactory. The pool was not maintained (green, filthy water present) which led to a mosquito problem throughout the hotel. A new hotel is needed.
4-None of the bikes had water bottle holders. Had to carry water in the pannier or strapped to the rear rack (bring a few short bungee cords for that purpose).
5-Request a full sized tire pump. Flats happen and you'll make changing tires much easier.- What was the date of your tour?

A big slice of Greece
Sparta and the Mediterranean Coast
A great way to explore some of the smaller towns in Greece. There was a little more riding on roads with narrow or no shoulders than we had expected but drivers were generally courteous. We were not advised of a hotel change on the first day the ride which caused some unnecessary confusion.

A great way to experience Crete
Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete
The RWGPS app was very accurate in providing instructions since roads are not marked and the terrain is challenging. Just one area with a rocky hill is not navigable with an eBike or road bikes and it takes about 15 minutes to walk up and then down the hill

Beautiful Crete
Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete
This trip is not for the inexperienced traveler. Crete roads aren't really very bike friendly and some of the areas on the route were a bit insane. The tour company staff was very friendly. The island was lovely, and the locals were great. 5 of the 6 motels were nice. There was a lot of climbing, and the island is very windy.

Great crew and bike guide
Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
We had a really great time on the trip. Our guide, Dionesis was fantastic in every way. The food was wonderfully prepared and served. We enjoyed great service. The boat was very clean and comfortable. Our cabin was big enough for the two of us. The high winds did prohibit us from being able to go to the Cyclades Islands, which was disappointing but we did go to other places in the Saronic Islands that were nice. It was also disappointing that we never sailed. When we asked, the captain said that the winds were too low or the passage was too short. I sensed that the crew wasn’t trained to sail the boat. Again, one of the reasons we chose this trip was to sail. We also spent 2 nights of the 7 in the home port in Athens. This area is not very interesting and again was disappointing.

Founders Tour, October, 2024
Founder's Tour: Turkey and Greece E-Bike & Boat tour
Great Trip with outstanding guides. Food was excellent and bike tours were perfect. The guides were very experienced and knowledgable. The boat cabin was comfortable. Only reason this wasn't given a 5 star is a number of issues on the Love Boat which have been addressed with the tour guides, company owner and boat owner. The Itinerary was also fantastic. A very good group which added to our enjoyment
