Must do a bike tour first! - What a way to see the city - better than walking! We did this bike tour the day we arrived to get our bearings. Konstantinos was amazing and cared for each person in our group. He loved his job and made the tour quite fun. The best part was we didn’t have to go back on our own to see many of the sites more on the city perimeter. Great recommendation for a gyro and beer afterwards. Thank you Kostantino!

Excellent Bike Tour with Dimos - Dimos, our tour guide, was outstanding. He shared information regarding history, archeology, language, and other Greek facts that were not only informative, but very interesting. I feel like we learned more than we normally would have on a bike tour.

Athens with Dimitris - We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect tour guide around Athens as we did with Dimitris. Our family enjoyed learning about the historical monuments as well as the history of the different areas of the town. The electric bikes is a lot of fun and you get a nice little exercise while exploring the city, so I highly recommend taking this tour!!!

Great bike tour with local guide - Great way to see the key points of the city. Our guide, Kostas was fantastic. Definitely recommend the e-Bike option… gives a nice boost uphill allowing you to focus on all the viewpoints. Ample time to stop at various key points to take pictures. Highly recommend for folks that want a more adventurous experience without the history lesson.
