We had a fantastic time with Ste! Natalie couldn’t make the trip but Stergios jumped in a delivered a wonderful tour! We loved the art, sad that someone tagged over several amazing pieces, and appreciated the behind the story details Sergio’s offered. Highly recommend! Art, history and culture - it had it all

Highly recommend this tour - we really got to see a different side of Athens and our guide new all the paths through lush green parks we would never have found on foot. The street art is amazing and we learnt so much about Athens and its rich history. Sooooo much better than walking in the current summer heat. Thank you. Susie Absolutely wonderful experience

Having taken 2 bike tours (2 different companies) in Athens during our stay, it's a great deal of fun and a great way to gain insight to an incredible city. And, the city is apparently getting more accepting of the groups of bikes on the streets. However, the Saturday we were there, the streets and sidewalks were incredibly busy and it was NOT a good or safe day to be on a bike.Bike Tour in Athens on Saturday-Bad Idea

I loved the tour, was fun and active but the amazing electric bikes made you not feel exhausted! The street art was very cool to see. My family wasn’t comfortable with the busty streets so she took that into consideration and took us to less populated areas, which was very kind! Highly recommend!Loved it!

Family had a great e-cycle tour around Athens with our host Sotos, mixed up cultural sites with underground Graffiti sites, Sotos was a great host who shared his love for this great city and all it has to offer e-cycling around Athens

Wij boekten een privérondleiding op de fiets door Athene en werden verwelkomd door een vriendelijke Hollander die nu in Athene woont. De elektrische fietsen waren van uitstekende kwaliteit, en er werd ook een flesje water, een tussendoortje en koffie aangeboden. Het grote voordeel van een privétour is dat je zelf kunt bepalen hoe lang je ergens wilt blijven staan. Hierdoor konden we bijvoorbeeld genieten van de wisseling van de wacht met aftocht. Dankzij het lage toeristenseizoen hebben we zelfs nog meer van de stad kunnen ontdekken. We kregen naderhand ook een kaart mee met de aangeduide punten die we gezien hebben, alsook enkele to do's, zoals in de horeca. Deze hebben we naderhand nog gebruikt. Ik raad het zeker aan om Athene per fiets te ontdekken!Fantastische privérondleiding op de fiets

Der Abfahrtsort ist zentral gelegen und gut zu finden, bei Ankunft hatte George schon alles für uns vorbereitet (Räder mit Wasserflasche, Helme). Wir waren kurzfristig eine Person mehr, das wurde vor Ort unkompliziert geregelt und so konnten wir die Tour zu sechst antreten.Die Tour war ein sehr guter Auftakt für unseren Athen-Besuch, dank der E-Bikes konnten wir alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten gut erreichen (auch wenn sie etwas weiter entfernt waren oder wenn es bergauf ging) und bekamen zugleich eine gute Orientierung, da wir vorwiegend in Fußgängerzonen unterwegs waren wo wir später auch zu Fuß entlang gingen. George hatte prima Informationen für uns, die uns halfen unseren weiteren Aufenthalt zu planen. Der gemeinsame Vormittag hat uns sehr viel Spass gemacht, wir haben nicht nur viel erfahren sondern auch viel gelacht. Natalie hat uns dann noch Eintrittskarten für Akropolismuseum und- Hügel am Nachmittag besorgt- das nenne ich super Service. Jederzeit wieder, vielen Dank!einzigartig

Our family of three thoroughly enjoyed our time with Rayea on our Athens bike adventure. Rayea is absolutely darling! She is incredibly knowledgeable, well spoken, humorous, and it is obvious that she loves her job. Her background in archeology and theatre are key to her amazing presentation of an extensive realm of facts and information. Her smile is brilliant! Come and see us in Minnesota, Rayea10/10 Saw so much more on bikes!

Wow! So impressed with Natalie. Kind, thoughtful, inquisitive on our side and most important knowledgeable. You would think she was a PHD college professor. Tops for sure in our books and let me add - we’ve done a lot of private tours around the world. Unquestionable, she is at the top. We invited her to our home in the USA in northern Minnesota on lake superior near Canada. I hope she takes us up on that someday. Natalie Is AWESOME!

Traveling with my sister and niece, we were looking for a unique way to see parts of Athens we have never experienced. Initially, we were a little concerned about the concept of riding e-bikes in such a busy city, but were immediately put at ease. Our guide and host, Yota, was so friendly and attentive, and was keenly focused on our safety throughout the journey. From the meeting point, which turned out to be only a short walk from our hotel, we wound our way to the coastline, using a series of bike paths, and only briefly crossing open roads. The views were exquisite throughout, and Yota provided so much information about the areas we were passing through. This was truly a highlight of our visit, and I highly recommend the experience to anyone looking for a unique and beautiful way to see Athens and the Athenian Riviera. Thanks, Yota, for the wonderful memories and your perfect hospitality!Fresh air and stunning views!

Constantine, our tour guide, was not only so knowledgeable about the culture and the area But was also a really fun guy. He took us through some awesome neighborhoods, down the Riviera, and along the beach, we spent some time there at a fun beach bar. I would highly recommend itAthens e bike riviera tour

Georgos, our guide, ‘gave’ us three things: 1. His very pleasant authentic Greek personality, including storytelling and his good laugh. 2. His knowledge about the places and things we’ve seen, and thereby the new insights we got in just a fee ours. 3. His carefulness and flexibility to make us feel safe and acknowledged in what we liked to see. So, Georgos, you are a great host. Thank you for a wonderful morning. Auhentic Greek experience

We did an e-bike tour and it was incredible! Natalie and her team were easy to work with. My brother had done this tour and suggested it. I asked them to customize it to include a meal and a drink after the tour and they did. This tour was for only my husband and I and I loved the private tour feel. Our guide George was easy going and very knowledgeable, we enjoyed spending the morning with him immensely. I'll be recommending this tour to anyone who comes to Athens!Amazing Experience

Recommending this tour via e-bike to see all the great historical sites of Athens! We went during the height of heat in Athens and seeing the sights on an e-bike was very enjoyable! Ste was an amazing tour guide, sharing information about sites that was interesting and digestible. He gave us time to take in each stop, never feeling rushed. He provided great suggestions for lunch and dinner post tour that did not disappoint! Thank you Ste for a really wonderful time!

We hadden een zeer aangename ervaring met Natalie, een rustige fietstocht naar de kust met ook een aangename plons in de zee! Zeker aan te raden. Zeer leuke fietstocht!

We are so glad we did this tour. Jotta was lovely, very accomodating and gave very easy and clear directions when following her on the bike, and she was cautious of our safety on the roads. Really great to see the sights and smells of the suburbs of Athens and out to the coastline, with time to swim in the ocean and relax. The smallest feedback is that perhaps a bit more information about sights would be good. Overall 100% happy we did this. A great experience.

Het was makkelijk te vinden en onze prive gids Iris stond al klaar om ons te ontvangen. We hadden een e bike van prima kwaliteit. Hoe fijn om een Nederlandse gids te hebben in een stad als Athene waar zoveel te zien is. We kregen veel interessante maar ook verrassende highlights te zien met daarbij veel uitleg van Iris. Mijn vrouw en ik hebben genoten! nogmaals dank! prive gids e bike tour

Our bike tour with Constantine was excellent. It was a pleasure riding on the bike trails in Athens that we would likely never find on our own. Constantine was knowledgeable and set a good pace. Our tour was customized perfectly to allow us to have a delicious lunch at EDEM (right on the beach) and a later coffee break. Some of the streets that he took us through were very charming and allowed us to see a different part of Athens than the touristy center. And riding along the sea was beautiful. This was a perfect way to see Athens off the beaten track with a guide who was a delight to be with. Thank you for a really fun day!Fantastic Bike Tour

Our guide was Stergios. Ste was amazing! We started with safety checks and talks and quickly got underway. We stopped often for many of the major sites of Athens and we learned so many great facts and anecdotes of both ancient and modern times of Athens. What a perfect introduction to the city. About two hours for the tour was also just right. We were pleasantly tired and had worked up an appetite to try great suggestions for local foodie places. Would absolutely book again. What a Great Time!
