Touring Athens and the Acropolis by ebike. - Athens by ebike is the way to go! Our guide, Dimos, was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned so much about the history and legends of Athens and the gods. We booked the 4.5 hour tour which included a tour of the Acropolis, also with Dimos. The experience was well worth it, and I would recommend it to anyone who can ride a bicycle! Thank you Dimos!

Lots of fun - The ebikes are a great way to see the city and Stephanie was an awesome person to talk to and guide us around the city. The bike portion of the tour did not have as much history or mythological story telling as I anticipated so if you're hoping for a more historical tour, this probably isn't it. Nonetheless, it was still a lot of fun. The Acropolis portion of the tour however was filled with historical facts and stories and the view was breathtaking.
