Great intro to Athens, really entertaining & informative guide Dimitris! Even though it was 95F out, we were surprisingly ok with the heat on our e-bikes and frequent stops in the shade. Highly recommended!

What a fun way to tour Athens! Our guide Dimitris was the best! He was informative and entertaining and did everything he could to make our tour amazing. An extremely genuine guy who is obviously passionate about what he does. He made sure we were comfortable and safe at all times and helped us to get the best photos too. He sought out shade to keep us cool whenever we stopped which was very thoughtful. The bikes were super easy and comfortable to ride and you do not ride on any busy roads. Don’t hesitate to book this tour.

It is one of the best activities in Athens - riding through cooling wind and seeing so many places that you could not by only walking. Maria was a lovely, funny and comprehensive guide!
