The bike tour was... - The bike tour was incredible! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and kind. He shared history at each stop. It was truly a great way to experience the city. Day of the tour was chilly, still a great time, and our guide loaned his gloves to my friend. Highly recommend.

A fun and friendly way to orient yourself in Athens - We had an amazing bike tour with Kostas! He was friendly, knowledgeable and really went above and beyond answering our questions and giving recommendations on what else to do during our time here.
The bikes were easy to use and you can change gears and increase/decrease the e-bike assist as needed. We found it easy and safe to navigate the streets, as they were not major roads teeming with traffic.
Kostas took us to Observatory Hill first, which gave us an incredible panorama of the city, from the Acropolis to the Aegean Sea. We then visited several archaeological sites in Plaka and the National Gardens, including the Panathenic Stadium.
It was our first day in Athens, and we found it to be the perfect way to get our bearings in a new city and figure out which places we wanted to revisit in greater detail.
Thanks again Kostas!

Great way yo spend the first day in Athens! - This was a last minute decision to have something to do on new years day because everything else was closed... It was a great activity. Karolis was a wonderful "tour guy". He made the group of 2 families cohesive and was good to include everyone and learn about their interests. You can tell his passion for Athens, cycling and being an ambassador was genuine. I would highly recommend this tour!
