Great way to see Athens! - Felix was a great tour guide and made this tour (kids 12 and 14) super fun and interesting. We covered loads of ground and Felix gave us some great tips. A great way to see Athens without having to walk in the baking heat.

Great tour 10/10! - Rena has so much passion for Athens which is why she’s such a fabulous tour guide. She had great insight into the history of Athens and other suggestions for other things to do on our trip! It was a great way to see so much of the city in such a short amount of time! She even sent out a recommendation list/ tour overview after the tour!

A brilliant guide to Central Athens - fun, exciting and easy-going. Don’t miss this. - The electric bikes were perfect for touring around the many side streets and alleyways in central Athens. Not once did we venture onto main roads - we kept to walkways and paths, and the occasional side street. This was mid August and the temperature was 38 degrees so less exertion was great - the electric bikes helped reduced the effort in this heat!
Felix, our guide, was amazing! He gave us a good briefing before setting off, and thereafter guided us through the twists and turns of Athens backstreets. There were several stops where he demonstrated in depth knowledge of history both past and more recent. He was fun and an excellent guide. Very personable.

Fun electric bike tour! Great to do with a teenager! - Great tour of Athens. My 13 year old son enjoyed and was nice to be on a bike and see so much of the city. The electric bikes were fun and great! Helped avoid the heat of the city by having a bit of a breeze! Highly recommend!

Great E-bike tour of Athens Highlights!! - Our E-bike tour with Kostas was fantastic. We were a group of 4 friends who were part of a slightly larger public tour. Though it was a hot day, Kostas did a great job of keeping us cool, finding us shade and really did a great job of pointing out some interesting aspects of the things we toured. The length of the tour is just about perfect and you certainly will see far more of Athens than you could either by foot or a large tour bus. Highly recommended - and hopefully Kostas is your guide!!
