“I joined Karolis’ bike tour as a solo traveler – and it was amazing! You can feel his passion and enthusiasm from the start. I felt safe, welcomed, and well taken care of. Karolis shares his deep knowledge of Athens in a fun and engaging way, takes time to answer questions, and truly cares about his guests. The bikes and helmets were in perfect condition. I especially appreciated all his insider tips about the city – from hidden gems to local restaurants. After the tour, I even received a detailed follow-up email with our route, highlights, and more tips. Karolis truly made my day in Athens special. I would 100%…”

“We planned this as our first activity coming off the airplane to help us stay awake while adjusting to the time change. Our guide was pleasant. We had to walk our bikes through some very crowded areas and busy streets since it was during rush hour. Not sure I’d recommend that timing for young families. We also wish that we could have ridden more. Grateful for the e-bikes!”

“We had a fantastic experience doing this. The tour just orientated my partner and I for what was where and as a special bonus we got to see the changing of the guards at the parliament. Recommend trying to do a 10am session on a Sunday so you can see this happen. Fantastic experience. Thank you”

“Really, really great experience! We had the best, fantastics guide, Mr. "K" who told us the basic and the most important things about Athen (places, restaurants, sweets, surroundings...) and he responded our questions as well. He took really care about the whole group the whole time, was very kind and always with smiling. At the end we received a link in the e-mail about the most important places and we had the space to ask what we wanted to know. Perfectly spent time! It completely fulfilled our expectations for the start of our vacation in Athens. We learned where to eat well, where to get sweets, where the markets are,…”

“Excellent bike tour from Athens to the seaside. Bike path is mostly flat 20miles round trip with lots of stops. Good working bikes with gears. Only one hill at end near acropolis. Kostas was our guide and he was wonderful with Maria the second guide. Funny, full of energy and enthusiasm. Made the day lovely telling us stories of life in Greece and taking us to a local bakery for treats. Probably my favorite thing in Athens. Nice to avoid the city ride. No crowds, shade and beautiful beach.”

He took us to Observatory Hill which gave the most stunning view of the Acropolis. Kostas was a great guide, he was very knowledgeable & a lot of fun. Can’t recommend him highly enough! This tour was the highlight of our stay in Athens! Thank you Kostas”

“Our guide Leo was fantastic. We really enjoyed the tour because it gave us a very good overview of the city. Bikes were good and felt safe. The only gripe I have was that we were on time to start the tour at 9 am but we had to wait 3/4 hr for people of the cruise ship so it was a much later start than we planned on. That could not be helped so overall would highly recommend this tour if you are a confident ebike rider in busy areas. Lots of fun!!!”
