We did this our first day in Athens to help fight jet lag. It was great! Marios was fun, helpful, and full of knowledge. We were able to see a lot of Athens and get oriented with the city. We also did a food tour and a cooking class in Athens but this was our highlight.
Our guide Thomas was amazing. He is very knowledgeable in Greek architecture, history, and mythology. We have been through other tours involving historical sites but Thomas went a step above and had pictures of what the historical sites looked like at different periods of time. It really helped seeing an image, whichmade the education easier to understand. The bikes are very good. It is nice having a boost to help up the hills. We are not very athletic but found it very easy to manage the physical part of the tour.
This tour was so much fun!! We enjoyed our guided tour with Thomas - his vast knowledge of the Greek history was incredible. We learned so much and had so much fun riding through the city. Thank you
If you want a history tour and not a bike tour, then this is a good option.Vas is a very knowledgeable guide who likes to talk. However, on a three hour tour I don’t think we rode for more than 39 minutes. Very disappointing.
My wife & I (age 65 & 67) have never been on an e-bike and were a bit concerned … but the instructions were clear and the equipment & guides excellent. Our guide Vas was fantastic. Gave very interesting and informative explanations and history and was always interested in questions and our perspectives. He also was very patient with all levels of cycling capabilities and made the tour fun. If you have balance issues and are a bit older, I would suggest you only take the tour in shoulder seasons or times as it can get quite interesting navigating all the pedestrian traffic and cobblestones, but give it a try. You will have a blast and see fantastic perspectives around the Acropolis of Athens that you’ve never seen before!
Amazing experience with your guide Thomas! A history buff through and through. Thomas was very knowledgeable and you could tell he enjoyed and loved giving us the tour. It was so fun riding around on our e-bikes! Would highly recommend this tour!!
The tour guide was exceptional! The bike ride was perfectly balanced, stopping at ancient sites along the ride around old athens.
Leo led a terrific e-bike tour. We had a great time. He was very informative and made it fun for our whole family. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for the wonderful review! It is our pleasure to provide the best possible experience every time!
We actually double booked this tour and one of our bookings included transportation from the cruise ship port to the solebike location. Be sure that you book the one with transportation. It made things a lot easier (less stressful), And Sofia sent over an excellent taxi driver named Effie. She's very amiable and a good listener. The bikes were easy to learn and get around on. We did not have experience with an ebike prior to this. My (F 50yo) daughter (18yo) was disappointed we didn't arrange for tickets to go inside and to the top of the Parthenon/Acropolis. We had an extra hour after the bike tour, but we could not get last minute tickets. But we rode our bikes all the way around it and saw many sites that were interesting. the tour guide, Alex, was very informative and helpful. She does a great job of helping you rest in the shade while she talks.
Thank you for your wonderful review and for pointing out our inclusions to booking an experience with us! Happy to know you had a good time with us, even though it does sound disappointing to get so close and not manage to visit the Acropolis. Maybe next time, though!
The tour was wonderful our Guide, Stelio is great he always take good care for the whole group and knowledgeable highly recommend
Thank you very much Uma! Very nice to have you for the tour, come again another time!
