Great introduction to Athens
Great walking to Tour and we recovered lots of ground, even more than we thought in the 1.5–2 hour introduction. Perfect way to put context to the city and some of the histories/archaeology of Athens, would highly recommend.

Don’t hesitate to consider booking your tour with Makram. When we return to Athens one day, we will want to visit and tour with him once again! Thank you Makram for a fabulous and unforgettable time together!

Best way to see the highlights of Athens
We had a very pleasant late afternoon ride seeing the highlights of Athens located around the Acropolis. Rhea was fantastic! She was engaging and knowledgeable, on time and easy to find. My family loved her! My wife was a little skeptical of the tour going in, but Rhea put her at ease, showed her how to operate the bike, and did not require any riding in Athens traffic. Great experience!
