Such a fun way to see Athens! - From the moment I booked the tour, communication from the tour operator was really great. Dimitris helped us coordinate so we were able to take this tour as soon as we arrived in Athens. He communicated clearly and often and was so helpful through the entire process.
Our guide, Stavros, was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of wonderful information about the area, the sites and the history. It was very hot the day we did the tour and he made sure we had water and food breaks as needed as well as a swim at a local, less crowded beach. Some of the locations we wanted to visit were closed due to the extreme heat and he was able to alter our itinerary and take us to some other interesting locations. He was so much fun and we really enjoyed our time with him. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Fantastic and Unique Way to Explore the Athens Riviera! - We had such a fun time on the Half Day Sidecar Private Tour to Poseidon Temple with Hellas Vintage Tours! From start to finish, everything felt safe, smooth, and incredibly enjoyable.
Riding on the back of the motorcycle and then switching to the sidecar (my husband and I swapped halfway through) was a blast — such a cool way to see the sights. The ride was about 90 minutes each way, but we loved the adventure aspect of that.
The highlight was absolutely the Temple of Poseidon — it’s even more stunning in person, perched dramatically above the sea. The coastal drive along the Athens Riviera was beautiful, and the whole experience felt special and memorable.
Hellas Vintage Tours did a great job organizing everything. Highly recommend this tour if you're looking for something different, fun, and scenic while in Athens!

JUST DO IT!!! - Twelve days in Greece and this was the best! My granddaughter and I (ages 17 and 78) loved the experience of riding in the sidecar, the trip along the stunning coast, and seeing the incredibly beautiful temple of Poseidon. While perhaps not for the faint of heart, you will have the experience of a lifetime. Demetrius, our driver, was as handsome as he was charming and spoke excellent English. When we look back on our trip in future years, this is the memory we will remember best.

Awesome experience, so much fun! - I’ve never had so many smiles on an excursion! This was a blast! I was a little nervous ahead of time due to my lack of experience on motorcycles, but I had no need to worry. We got to see many sights in the city and both enjoyed this experience. Our guide was happy to modify the tour to avoid duplicating sites we had already visited on other tours. The best way to spend a half day in Athens!

#1 Sidecar - Whoa!! What a blast!! Dimitris was absolutely the most charming sidecar driver on earth. He took my mom and I all through Athens. We hit the hot spots and he treated us to coffee and a local wine bar. We buzzed thru the streets with priority in the sidecar. If you want to see Athens in a snap, hire Dimitris!!! SO. MUCH. FUN. 🇬🇷
