Alex took us on an incredible journey through the most beautiful country side with a glimpse into a family run olive grove and processing plant with delicious tasting plate, and then further up the mountains to an artisanal winery for a delicious wine tasting and tour of the the growing facility! Then back down the mountains with the sun and wind in our hair (under our helmets of course) - it was a perfect day! Thank you Alex!!

E-bike Adventure
Alex, you were amazing. At first, my husband and I were a bit nervous about riding bikes through the city if Heraklion, but once we started we knew we would be safe. Alex knew his way around and took us on back streets to avoid busy traffic. The olive oil tasting and wine tasting were lovely, really giving us an understanding of the beautiful culture of Crete. What a beautiful way to explore a new city, on a bike instead of inside a car. The bikes were very powerful and we biked the hills with ease. Thank you again!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so glad Alex was able to make you feel safe and comfortable from the very start. We know that navigating a city can seem intimidating, but as you discovered, our routes through the quiet back streets and the power of our e-bikes make exploring the hills of Heraklion a breeze! It’s great that you enjoyed the olive oil and wine tastings—there’s truly no better way to connect with Cretan culture than through its flavors. We hope to see you again for another adventure. Cheers!

The Bikes are large and...
The Bikes are large and heavy but have good acceleration. A good portion of the ride was in city traffic so it’s not for the faint of heart. That being said, my 5’0, 64 year old wife was able to handle it, but she is an experienced rider. The tastings were informative and fun and the scenery at higher elevations was wonderful.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your 4-star rating! We are glad you enjoyed the informative tastings and the breathtaking scenery from the higher elevations. Regarding the bikes, they are indeed sturdy and powerful e-bikes designed to handle the Cretan hills with ease. While navigating city traffic requires focus, we always prioritize safety and use specific routes to make the transition as smooth as possible. We are so impressed by your wife—it’s wonderful to hear that she handled the tour so well! It goes to show that with a bit of experience, our tour is a fantastic way to see the sights.

Unforgettable experience!
The Eco Bike tour with Alex is an unbelievable, must-have, experience that my family and I recommend to all. First and foremost, Alex truly tries his best to be an amazing guide while also treating everyone as his close friends. Riding the electric bikes through the countryside with unbelievable views along the way was one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had. The tour itself encompasses various aspects of the Cretan culture including olive oil tasting, wine tasting, and a surreal tour of Knossos Palace. Each individual tour was easily one of, if not the best, tours we have taken in Irakleio. Both the olive oil and wine tasting feature a tour of the cultivation process that is educational and interesting. Although the scenery speaks for itself, the guide that will accompany you at Knossos turns the tour into a wonderful story of the Minoan civilization. You will be taken to the most important parts of the Knosos Palace with the additional benefit of having an explanation of their significance. A word of caution that there is a bit of a learning curve to ride the electric bikes as they are motorized and also heavier than regular bikes; it may be difficult for someone who is not already very comfortable riding a bicycle, particularly through busy streets (at some points). Otherwise, we highly highly recommend this tour to everyone who visits Heraklion and if not this one then any tour with Alex as he is such a wonderful guide and a pleasure to spend time with.

Must do in Crete!
This is a must do experience if you’re in Crete. It’s great doing walking tour and those by car, but nothing is better than cycling to explore the countryside with all what offers, ranging from nature and little towns — with every stop holding delightful moments. Thank you Alex and Maria!!

An incredible view of Crete
My husband and I spent a beautiful day in Crete with Alec. Alec brought us to beautiful wine and olive countryside that we would never have gotten to on our own. We had an incredible lunch in a small town cafe and talked and laughed for an hour. Don’t miss beauty in a day with Alec!

Knossos & unspoilt Crete in one trip
This was a bike tour to Knossos & 2 villages . It was on E bikes, which we hadn’t been on before but we’re glad of them when we got used to it.
Alex our guide led us safely through Heraklion to Knossos
We had a guided tour there, which was good. Bring cash!!!
The guides don’t take cards.
Then onto a pretty village with multicoloured houses & a drink. Then onto the next village for a late lunch. Home cooked delicious food overlooking a of vines & olive groves. This is unspoilt Crete
We were lucky there were only 2 of us on the tour & we were invited (extra!) to go to a taverna lit by candles with lots of homemade food & wine. True local experience. Excellent food, which just kept coming.
Wonderful trip & would recommend it.
