The perfect way to see Heraklion!This eco e-bike tour is an absolute must-do! Riding the e-bikes through the historic streets and lesser-known neighborhoods was a breeze and allowed us to see so much of the city. Our guide, Alex, was phenomenal—so friendly and gave us a true native Cretan perspective. We loved stopping at a local spot for authentic island snacks, and the small group size kept it feeling personal. Afterward, Alex even invited us back to his office for wine, raki, and great conversation. He truly made us feel welcome. Highly recommend!
Reading your review truly made our day! Alex was delighted to explore the historic streets with you and offer an insider's view of our city. Combining smooth e-biking with authentic Cretan snacks and sharing a glass of wine and raki at our office is our favorite way to show true Cretan hospitality. Thank you for this wonderful recommendation! Warmest regards!
Excellent tour. Bikes are small, built for urban streets, nipping in and out. Lovely guide, very generous host. Recommended.

This was a fantastic way to explore the city. We had a few in the group who were unable to use the bikes and one of the staff did a walking tour instead for them. The tapas and wine at the end was a perfect treat.

Alex was fantastic as a tour guide in the old town portion of Heraklion. We enjoyed the ride through the plaza and on the wall around the area. Beautiful views and we stopped at many places not see by most tourists. We had a nice treat at the end of the tour with cheese and wine from Alex’s family farms. Highly recommend doing this if you have part of a day!

It was a joy hosting you, and I hope to see you back in Crete for more discoveries soon!
We had a wonderful day touring around Heraklion with Babis. He was knowledgeable, friendly and tailored the tour to make sure we saw things that we wanted to see. And did we ever eat! Amazing food and drinks along the way. Our 14 and 12 year old kids loved the bikes and had a good time. My only recommendation is to pace yourself with all the delicious eating.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted that your whole family, especially your kids, had such a great time exploring Heraklion with Babis. He always loves tailoring the experience to our guests' interests, and he’ll be so happy to hear your kind words. You’re absolutely right—pacing yourself is the best tip for our food stops! It was a pleasure having you all with us, and we hope to see you again on your next family adventure.
Alex was a great host and guide. He made sure we had proper directions to get to his place and started on time. We then hopped on our eco-bikes and toured the city with Alex filling in details about the history of the city. We finished the tour back at his place with a nice mezze.
