Great biking trip with... - Great biking trip with awesome views of Athens! Constantinopolos was a very personable and knowledgeable guide who navigated us through the city with a few stops to point out historical sites and up to the mountain. We came back down through the forest on dirt roads which was fun. Our guide was good at letting us know when to turn, checking we were following, and letting us know what the next steps would be. Very good experience on our trip to Athens.

Fantastic day. We took... - Fantastic day. We took local bus from cruise terminal and started from central Athens. Our guide Constantino took us past the main historical sights of Athens with time for photos and a bit of history, then we left the bustling city behind us and cycled up Mt Hymettos. Views of Athens were outstanding. Stopped for coffee and local cuisine before heading back via changing of the guards . You do need a reasonable level of cycle experience and if not staying central then allow time to get to/ from the meeting point. Great value for money. Definitely recommend this tour.

Stunning Views of Athens and Sea - Riding with Kostas makes you feel like an Athenian as he knows the back routes and shortcuts to reach the mountain through the city. Once reaching the foothills and making the ascent, the views are breathtaking from many vantage points, and the smell of the pines are an olfactory delight. The descent is exhilarating, too! Lastly, catching the sunset and the golden sky to end the ride was equally breathtaking. Highly recommend for people in good physical condition. It’s a trip to remember!
