· Founder's Tour: Turkey and Greece E-Bike & Boat tour
Excellent trip except the physical condition of the boat was unacceptable. IslAanding Hopping did a superb job as well as the boat crew. As we paid extra for our room we were very disappointed. We have traveled with Jim Johnson for 20 Yrs. All have been excellent as we continued to travel with Bike Tours. This trip was disappointing due to the condition of the boat.

Interesting, varied, a great trip
· Greece: The Peloponnese Peninsula
You will see different landscapes, from the more mountainous interior to the coast. There are chances to see many historical sites. The GPS is a must for the trip, you will get lost if you don't have it. I strongly recommend bringing your own small pump which can handle both Presta and Schraeder. The pumps we were given were a bit dodgy, and handled only Presta although we had some Schraeder valves on our tires and just one spare tube (Presta). We came across some aggressive stray dogs but weren't attacked. I carried a stick on my bike just in case. As a woman I would have been a bit anxious doing this ride alone, I was happy to have a partner with me. The hotels were mostly family-run or small and felt friendly and welcoming. There were many great restaurants in the destination towns. Staying 3 nights in the final town with 2 loop trips was great - the hotel was good and you didn't have to keep packing and unpacking. You *must* carry the hotel list with you - the GPS will not lead you directly to the hotels and the hotel names are not part of the map binder. You will see some beautiful scenery and also some abandoned and derelict buildings and piles of garbage. Some days you ride on somewhat busy roads with very narrow shoulders, but we found that drivers were courteous. If you are going to use the Metro in Athens, do some research about the level of organized pick-pocketing there and take precautions. This was a rewarding trip for someone who loves biking and history and exploring.

· 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

Awesome Bike Trip
· Greece: The Peloponnese Peninsula
This was a great way to experience the beauty of The Peloponnese Peninsula and meet so many friendly locals and fellow bikers along the way.
Our accommodations were all very nice and our baggage was transferred without any problems.
Our only criticism is with the quality of the bikes which caused us quite a few problems along the way. Luckily we were able to improvise repairs and continue on.
Four British bikers we spoke to that were with the same local bike tour company had the same criticism. The local company was helpful and friendly but their bikes needed tune ups and refurbishing.
Also....the thorns on the side of the roads on the Peloponnese Peninsula are notorious for causing flat tires...and we had lots of flat tires. Why doesn’t the local operator use the more puncture resistant bike tire technology? I was unable to get an answer to that question when I asked.
I don’t want to dwell on the negative.
We had a wonderful time and I would do it again but hopefully with a more reliable bike.- What was the date of your tour?

★★★★★ Tim Mulligan 5 months agoAmazingly beautiful ride through a remote and rugged part of Greece
· Sparta and the Mediterranean Coast
Another great ride from BikeTours.com...This was my 5th ride in Europe. The tour and stops along the way were well thought out and the navigation app was first rate...Almost impossible to get lost. The overnights were all great (best hotels were in Sparta and Monemvasia). The food recommendations are excellent with many of the locals also agreeing with the tour provider's advice. We went in late June, so we knew it would be extremely hot and likely windy, but the conditions were easily overcome with some acclimation prior to the trip and always making sure you had water. I'd recommend that you thoroughly research forecasted weather and the topography prior to the trip...This would have been extremely difficult without an e-bike. The highlight of the trip was Monemvasia, and I'd recommend an extra day there (at least), although all of the destinations had their own unique charm. My only negative takeaways: 1. The nav app uses a lot of battery power (if you're continuously viewing the map instead of the also available audio prompts), so make sure at least two of you have the app installed in case the battery dies....we preferred the map over just the audio, so that was partially our doing. 2. We had e-bikes...They were a bit tired and worn out...the gear shifters often did not work well. On day one, one bike wouldn't power up...I resolved the problem by using a nail file on the battery contacts, and then on day 4 of the trip, one bike completely failed (thankfully at the starting point for the day, resulting in a taxi ride for one of us (there were 4) and a bike replacement....That all being said, the tour provider was very responsive and accommodating. I'd also highly recommend having WhatsApp installed on your phone PRIOR to your trip...The Greeks prefer it to communicate. The ONLY reason I did not rate this a 5-star was the bike issues we had throughout the ride. I'd also like to emphasize that this is a remote part of Greece, so be well-supplied and familiar with the route when you set out each day.... the number of places to stop varies. There are no shortage of orange groves along the way and we were fortunate that the abundant fruit was ripe for the occasional snack. And finally, the Greek people are extremely friendly and kind.

★★★★★ Bozena February 24, 2024All-inclusive tour of Athens
Athens Acropolis Bike Tour
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.

A fun and educational bike plus walking tour
Athens Acropolis Bike Tour
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.

★★★★★ Sally F October 21, 2023Overview of Athens by Bike
· Athens Private Bike Tour
A great way to get oriented in the city of Athens. The guide was very knowledgeable. The tour route was carefully selected to keep us off the busy streets which was much appreciated! We got the highlights and definitely saw things I would not have stumbled upon on my own (example: changing of the guards in front of the presidential residence). Just the right amount of history and some great photo ops (views of the Acropolis, etc) that felt like local secrets that other tourists would not have found.

★★★★★ Bozena 2 months agoI've been looking forward to this trip for so long
· · Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
This trip was an absolute joy on so many levels. The cycling routes were beautiful, the boat was a perfect place to relax, and the onboard chef was fantastic. Our group was a great mix of nationalities — four couples and three solo travelers — which made for a fun and friendly atmosphere. One of the couples was actually on their honeymoon, adding a lovely and positive energy to the experience. The crew was professional and pleasant, though they kept a bit more to themselves than on some other trips — perhaps understandable, as it’s the end of a long season for them.

Perfect in every way
· · Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
Everything about this trip was 100%. The rides were spectacular. Our guides and all the staff on the boat were really great. The ship was so comfortable. Chrisya made sure everything and everyone’s needs were met. And my fellow passengers were all lovely people. 13 people and 7 different nationalities made it really fun and interesting.

60th birthday celebration
· · Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
I felt like a kid again, riding through amazing landscapes, swimming in the sea, sleeping under the stars, and laughing tell it hurt while playing games on deck. Our guide was charming, engaging, accommodating, and hilarious and the crew was attentive, friendly, and fun, constantly scanning the conditions to ensure our route was safe and enjoyable. The food was delicious; abundant, varied, and authentic. And I met fabulous people with whom I continue to share my travels. This was a life changing trip.

First trip to Greece
· · Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
We greatly enjoyed this tour. It was our first time using e-bikes and that made the rides very enjoyable. The crew was very professional and prepared delicious meals also. Our guides, Mary Lou and Isabel did a wonderful job sharing history and guiding us through the five Islands we visited. They were a joy to spend time with and very professional as well. We enjoyed getting to know the other couples on board as we shared our meals and rides together. Although some high winds prevented us from going to all of the islands listed in the tour, I can highly recommend it just the same.

We enjoyed our e-bike through Rhodes. Cristos was a great guide and kept us safe. The bikes were comfortable and easy to manage. I would recommend this tour if you want to get a fun overview of the city. We were able to see so much more than walking.

As relaxing as it gets
· · Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
The tour truly lives up to its name. It offers the perfect blend of cycling, sailing, and exploring some of Greece’s most stunning islands. Each day brings something new, charming whitewashed villages, crystal-clear waters, and peaceful coastal roads with breathtaking views. The combination of guided bike rides and relaxing moments aboard the ship makes it both active and rejuvenating. The crew and guides are friendly and knowledgeable, and the food and atmosphere on board are excellent. A wonderful way to experience the Greek islands from both land and sea!
