Nice and relaxed bike ride.
The reception at the company was open and friendly.
The bicycles were of moderate quality, but cycling was otherwise fine.
The group was kept small so that the guide could provide a personal approach. The safety of the guests was also guaranteed with this.
The larger the group, the more unsafe it is to cycle through Athens.
It was a beautiful and fun tour, full of diversity.
The guide Annemarieken (Dutch-speaking guide) knew a lot to tell along the way and regularly stopped to see if the group was still complete.

Best for families
We are a family with two children, ages 8 and 11, and we had a wonderful experience on the tour. Our guide made all the necessary adjustments to keep the kids entertained and engaged throughout the day.
She was also very patient, kind, and attentive to our family’s needs, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
We highly recommend this tour, especially for families with children!

Súper interesting bike ride!
Although we had reached many highlights on foot the day before, this bike ride was still a lot of fun to do. Marieke gives a lot of inside information that is extremely interesting. The trip is doable, also for our daughter of 8. Highly recommended to get acquainted with Athens on this manker!

Relaxed bike tour of Athens highlights
What a nice welcome and pleasant tour with our tour guide Cynthia. She had a genuine interest in us and adapted her story accordingly.
The tour was aimed at our girls and that created interested headlines. Not too long cultural stories, but just enough to understand the history a bit.
Seen the highlights and enjoyed the Greek yogurt in between. Thanks for this lovely experience!
