Great Way to Spend a Few Hours!!! - My husband and I really enjoyed our tour around Athens with Kleanthis or "K" as we called him. The tour hit hit most of the popular spots in Athens and was great for just finding your bearings - so would do this day 1 of your holiday. We rode normal bikes and had no issues compared to the rest of the people who chose electric bikes and felt safe the whole way round. 'K' and his colleague 'A' -happily answered questions, chatted to us - whilst showing us around Athens - giving us advice as to what to see and do.!! A great few hours.....Thanku!!

Fun and safe bike tour of Athens. - Had an amazing trip with Felix. Both my teenage children and i had so much fun and learned a lot about the city. Biking was a fun way to get around and allowed us to see a lot of the city in just a few hours. Great to do on day one as it gives a sense of the layout and areas you may want to explore later in the stay.

A lovely bike tour off-the-beaten track. - We (self, husband and 2 kids) had gone for the Athens by Bike city tour on 8th May. Our guide Dimitris Xirogiannis was fantastic. He took us around the hidden spots on our bikes, which we would not get to see during the standard bus tours. He was very jovial, shared a lot of interesting information about Athens and kept us entertained during the tour. He stopped for lovely photo ops. The tour lasted for about 3 hours and was 9 km long but it was easy and we didn't realize how time had gone by. I highly recommend this tour with Dimitris if you want to do something off the beaten track in Athens.

Brilliant tour. - Amazing bike tour. Our guide Kostas was very knowledgeable, friendly, and looked after the group. He cleatly loves his city and his job. Some great information on coffee in Greece!! Really interesting stops along the way. The highlight for me was the short climb up to Observatory Hill for the amazing views of Athens and the Acropolis. We even saw a wild tortoise up there. Comfortable bikes. We went with the regular rather than ebikes, and they were fine for the route. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Leisurely paced ride through Athens - We had a very enjoyable bike ride through some of the neighborhoods in Athens. Kleanthis was a great guide, helped everyone first feel comfortable on their bikes, then provided a leisurely ride. He also gave helpful suggestions for restaurants, and other areas to check out.
