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!

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!

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 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!

We had the best time on our E-Bike Tour of Athens, our guide spoke good English & she was incredibly helpful and knowledgable & made the tour lots of fun for us. I would absolutely recommend this tour as away to see the City sights. Riding the bikes was so much fun as no effort required riding up the hills!!! Fantastic E-Bike Tour

The tour was well prepared and our guide was friendly. He gave us good recommendations for restaurants. The place we have visited were all the main places of the city. The story behind interesting. We have missed the „withlocals“-spirit to see some more non-tourist places, back alleys, hidden gems of Athens. The e-bikes were functional but also a bit outdated. Perhaps, here is potential for improvement. Standard Sightseeing Tour

We were looking for an activity in Athens, and we thought a bike tour would be fun. We were not disappointed. Natalie couldn’t have been nicer or more professional Athens was absolutely beautiful. And our tour guide Stergios was professional, interesting and enthusiastic. If you’re looking for a fun way to see, Athens, look no further. This team is fantastic.Simply Perfect

Taking a tour around an ancient city with a 10 and 12 year old on bikes is not easy for every tour guide. Our girls were more interested in the cats of Athens than the history but Vago made it fun, kept them engaged and tailored the tour to our family. He was great and we loved our 2.5 hour adventure! It was a perfect way to see the sites of Athens. Thanks again Vago!! Fabulous bike tour with Vago!

First visit to Athens. We had a tour planned that would already take us to the top of the Parthenon planned and wanted something a little different. The E-bike tour was perfect. It was just our family and party (party of 4) and the tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the area/tour. The bikes were super easy to use and navigate and we got around the city and saw the highlights in a matter of a few hours. I was concerned because I wasn’t sure how my wife and I would do on the E-bikes - but it really was a breeze and super easy. Would highly recommend. E-bike tour

My husband and I took the e-bike tour with Sotos on Saturday, July 2nd. This was a great initial tour for us before we went to the Acropolis/Parthenon as this tour brought us to the outer area of Athens, which included Mars Hill, the old Olympic stadium, Hadrian's Arch and the National Gardens. We were even brought to see the changing of the guards. At each stop, Sotos provided an insightful historical overview of what we were seeing before being given some time to explore ourselves. As far as the bikes go, they were terrific and fun! As you peddle, the motor kicks in and gives an easier ride, especially when going up the many inclines in the city. I encourage you to book this tour to see the other parts of Athens besides the Acropolis- it's a really fun and enjoyable trip!A great tour of the outer areas of Athens

Marina's bike tour was one of our favorite parts of our whole trip to Greece. The bike tour is a great way to see Athens from multiple different scenic viewpoints. The e-bike booster makes it effortless to peddle around town and having Marina give a local perspective makes this an amazing experience. We highly recommend this tour for anyone in Athens. --Cora, age 15E-bike tour of Athens with Marina

Samen met mijn vriendin hebben we genoten van de private tour van Natalie. We hebben veel geleerd en gezien en Natalie wist ons antwoord te geven op alle vragen die we konden verzinnen. Daarnaast is Natalie ook gewoon een hele fijne gids: veel kennis, humor, Nederlandse nuchterheid en flexibel. Absoluut een aanrader!Mooie ervaring met verrassende inzichten.
