A wonderful trip, which was an introduction to exploring Athens for us—on the first day, we saw the sights from beautiful vantage points on scooters and got a feel for the city, and on the second day, we went up to the Acropolis on our own and visited the museum. Venice is wonderful! After the trip, she gave us the address of a great Greek restaurant, where 90% of the customers were actually Greek and the food was delicious. We highly recommend this trip! 5/5

5 out of 5 stars

This was a great way to see many features of the Acropolis! The bikes are fun and easy and the tour guides (Nick and Giannis) were great! My family of 5 said it was the best way to tour the Acropolis, especially at first. If you’re spending more time in Athens you can go back to investigate more of what you saw. Highly recommend!

5 out of 5 stars

Maria was an excellent tour guide and it was a small enough group where we got to know each other and enjoy the tour. She was very informative, friendly, and took us on routes that felt safe. We learned a lot and enjoyed the bike ride.
