Authentic and fun - It was one of my most memorable programs on Crete, it was really worth it. Nikos told us a lot of interesting things about culture, history, agriculture and nature. I rode ebike the first time and it was fun. At the end we ate traditional snacks. This was an authentic guided tour I would always wish for when I visit a new place.

Best experience in Crete you can imagine. Cycling in the countryside, learning about the environment and history of Crete. Very - This was a great tour. Me and my husband have cycled a lot in Europe and this was a very well organised tour with good inside in culture and history of Crete. It was fantastic to have the intercom so we could hear our guide all the time. We cycled mostly off road, in the countryside wich was amazing. Niko, our tour guide was well prepaired and gave us interesting historical and enviromental information on the way. We also stopped in an old traditional restaurant for some snacks wich was really nice. Loved the enviroment. The bikes where ok but mostly the whole tour was amazing. I would recommend that to every visitor to Crete who wants to experience something out of the mass tourism on the island. This tour is authentich and well above my expectation.

Very enjoyable visit to the countryside around Chania - The tour was with Nikos through the rural areas around Chania. We learnt a lot about local nature and farming which was very interesting. Nikos was a great host and I really recommend. We stopped for some traditional snacks in a lovely countryside restaurant.

A very nice experience - Very nice tour taking you in the countryside, far from the main roads and crowd. Did it in couple with no experience of e-bike in a small group of four, bikes are well maintained and easy to use following a short hence complete briefing. Our guide was generous in explanations and directions via interphone (live audio guide) as you ride, with several stops at dedicated historical or landscape spots and a local snack break at a very nice and peaceful place. Thanks to Nikos, our wonderful guide, this was a very good experience. We really recommend.

MUST DO E-bike Kreta - Fantastic bike ride through the beautiful interior region of Chania with a great local guide Nikos (primary school teacher with a huge knowledge and flair) who showed us the non-tourist places and told fascinating stories about the nature, culture and history of Crete!
Good e-bikes, safe and explanation via earpieces with regular stops and a delicious local interlude.
Absolutely no mass tourism! This is more than a must, a real ‘must do’!

One of the highlights of our trip to Crete! - Nikos was the BEST tour guide! An elementary school teacher by trade, he was so informative AND witty and charming. We had an earpiece as we rode, so we could hear him throughout the ride.
We felt lucky to learn the local history FROM a local. Hearing about how events shaped his family line made everything hit home deeper.
The bikes were easy to use, and even when a mechanical issue arose, Nikos quickly dipped into his bag of tools and swiftly resolved it.
It was one of our highlights of our trip to Crete! Thank you Nikos!

Fun e bike tour amongst nature - My parents and I loved doing the Eco Long tour with our guide Nikos! The bikes were fun and effortless to ride. We glided up and down hills, along quiet country roads, along board walks and past so many farms of olive, lemon and avocado trees. It was a lovely experience to be immersed in nature for an afternoon whilst also learning so much from our knowledgeable guide. There was not a question he couldn’t answer! We were not expecting any food on the tour but were really impressed by the tranquil restaurant we visited and the food Nikos ordered for us. It was a great opportunity to have some local cuisine which was incredibly tasty. We left with big smiles on our faces, wonderful memories and a sense of achievement for being somewhat active ;) Thank you so much to Nikos and Markis we were so glad to have down this experience

Just brilliant in every way!! - What a great company to deal with, offering a fantastic tour, you honestly don’t need to look anywhere else! Makis was great to deal with, very accommodating and even collected us and returned us to our ship, about 20 minutes each way, otherwise we probably couldn’t have done the tour. Nikos was our brilliant guide on the tour! He was so passionate and knowledgeable about the whole area, flora and fauna and clearly loves what he does, as well as being a genuine lovely person to spend a few hours with on a beautiful bike tour, mostly off the beaten track. A delicious lunch in a beautiful location was a welcome treat too before continuing on our wonderful ride. I genuinely can’t recommend these guys highly enough. It was our absolute pleasure to meet them and enjoy such a fantastic tour, and we can’t wait to come back and do the bike tour with gorge walk!! Thank you so much Makis and Nikos, you gave us a real highlight on our holiday!! 5 stars!

Fun and unique experience - My husband and I had a great time with Chania Ebike Tours. Niko and Makis were welcoming and made us feel like part of their family. They were knowledgeable and showed us a number of interesting points around the area. If you are looking for something fun to do near Chania, I definitely recommend them.
