We had an early morning private e-bike tour and absolutely loved it. Our guide Rhea was fantastic, absolutely first class. She was very helpful, explaining the bikes and making sure we were comfortable and had chilled bottles of water in holders on each bike. We spent 2.5 hours cycling around many of the major sites around the city. We would stop in various places and she would regale us of the stories and history of each place in a fun and interesting way. We had some great discussions around the mythology and where archeological discoveries have added to our understanding of how the Ancient Greeks lived. She also connected this to more recent history of Greece and wider world and European history which was fascinating for both us and our teenage son. The pace was perfect as it was very hot but we never felt rushed or overheated! She found shady spots to park up and see the various sites. Highlights were the view of the Acropolis and Athens from Filopappou Hill, cycling around Plaka and the site of the Agora, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Olympic Stadium, the changing of the guard at the presidential palace to name a few. We saw so much and I would recommend this to everyone. It was definitely worth paying extra for the private group tour as we could really get the most out of Rhea’s knowledge and we saw so much, plus it was much easier navigating the busier spots with a smaller group. We also loved the treat of a snack stop for fresh Greek yogurt with honey and nuts which was a lovely surprise and absolute delicious. Thanks so much Rhea!
This was so fun! George was a great navigator and tour guide. He gave us lots of histrorical information while answering all of our touristy questions. We had a wonderful morning with him! Highly recommend booking this fun tour. The E-bikes just make everything so much more enjoyable, you don't even feel like your exerting any extra energy!
We had such a great time on the bike tour. Ste was a great host- so friendly. We so much enjoyed the places he took us to. He was very knowledgeable and it was interesting seeing and learning about the different historical sights in Athens. Enjoyed watching the changing of the guard. Highly recommend for an enjoyable experience. Thanks Ste!
Top trip with super nice guide, very interesting stories. And the electric bikes were very handy; still some tough climbs to the acropolis.
The e bike tour with Ste was fantastic We had a great time with our family of 5 He told us so much historical information that made the experience even better. We covered a lot of distance and were able to visit many sites. It was a great way to see Athens and was a lot of fun
Ste was a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly!!! The small group format was the right way to go, allowing us to quickly get from site to site!
Great way to see Athens when you are short on time. Took about half a day and the guide was very knowledgeable!
This trip was completely worth every cent, and we *highly* recommend it. We went on our first evening in Athens, after spending the afternoon in the Acropolis museum. George was a terrific guide, with a great level of attention to the group, and many stories and much information. We learned things that we would never have learned in a guidebook, and had an almost private viewing of the changing of the guard. The bikes were in good condition and ran well, and for a first-timer on an e-bike, really easy to learn. This morning at the Acropolis, we were amazed to see just how much of the area we had covered. I would have complained loudly if we were on regular bikes. Long story short (TL;dr) take this tour to get a great quick overview of a little modern and a little ancient Athens!
A wonderful discovery of the main points of historic Athens from the hills, passing by the parliament, the changing of the guard, and the Olympic stadium, all without fatigue and in good spirits thanks to Alexandre, our guide!
The journey is secure. We do not find ourselves in the middle of cars. It is a beautiful way to discover the iconic places of the city. The guide, Irène, speaks French perfectly. She is very pleasant and takes you on a journey through the centuries.
