Had the absolute time of my life exploring Athens with Athens by Bike, guided by the amazing Dimitris! 🚴‍♂️ We covered 13 incredible stops across central Athens on e-bikes, from ancient ruins to local hidden gems — all while cruising effortlessly through the city. What made the experience even better was Dimitris’ energy and passion. He’s not just a guide — he truly loves what he does, and it shows in every story he tells and every route he takes. If you’re in Athens and want a fun, informative, and active way to explore the city, this tour is a must-do. Highly recommended!

Purchased the tour with entry tickets and really enjoyed the day. Our 3000-year-old guide was a great story-teller with a fantastic sense of humor. The Acropolis is a climb, but we took stops along the way to hear stories in the shade, and she directed us to all of the water bottle filling stations.

I loved the tour. One suggestion would be to offer to take photos of the tourists on their scooters.
