Great City overview! - The bike tour was great and gave us a good sense and perspective of Athen’s highlights and neighborhoods. Our tour guide Jim was awesome and provided a ton of local knowledge. And even sang us a song in Greek at the end of our tour! It can be a little challenging to bike around all the people and cars and cobblestone at times. Don’t overthink it and you’ll be fine!

Excellent way to see the city highlights without physically killing yourself! - This was the perfect trip for us (60 plus years old but physically in good shape). Saw everything we wanted, and more. A group of 10 was ideal. We were fortunate to get the perfect guide. Elizabeth was knowledgeable, understandable and very fun.... she even danced for us. Plus after she added great food and entertainment recommendations that turned into true finds. Could not give a more positive review

A perfect way to get your bearings in Athens. Karolis, our guide, kept us enchanted with the history and was excellent - Honestly, the best way to get familiar with Athens, especially for 1st time visitors. Our guide, Karolis kept us engaged, and excited to learn about Athens history. The stops on the tour were perfect. The e-bikes are easy to use, after Karolis explained the gears, speeds, etc. Soooo glad we picked this tour. Thankyou to Karolis for a Fun 1st tour in Athens too.

Cozy, fun but above all an enthusiastic bike ride from Rena through Athens - We have received from Rena Koumpa a very pleasant, beautiful, but especially enthusiastic bike ride through Athens. She talks full of experience about Athens, but see beautiful places and gives nice tips what to do. This is definitely recommended!!!!

Loved it - First time doing a bike tour in a city and I had a great time. Our guide, Karolis was a lot of fun, nice guy, showed us the best spots. My favorite was the observatory hill, where we had a great view of the Acropolis in front of us.

Athens on wheels - We booked the small group Athens Cycling tour and this excursion did not disappoint! K was our cycling guide, he took us to all the major attractions in Athens and was very informative and engaging. The bikes were excellent and K ensured that everyone remained safe. Do yourself a favour and book this tour. Thanks for the memories made! Efcharisto 🫶
