When I booked this, I couldn’t imagine there would be many car fee areas, but I was surprised. Both of us are not cyclists, but managed to navigate the 9 km tour with no problems. Our guide Reen was fun, kind, full of knowledge and patient. Explained how the bikes worked and checked we were all ok after the first bit. Only one small hill ( use the e power) upto the Observatory but well worth it. It gave a spectacular and different view of the Acropolis. Reen explained the significance of the uniform of the palace guard; the delightful park and to the first Olympic stadium. Reen has boundless energy and fun attitude to make it a wonderful and memorable experience.

Excellent way to see a selection of highlights. You don't travel too far and anyone who can ride a bike can cope with it. Guide, Marcus, was very helpful and knowledgeable. Loved seeing the sights. Good weather for it at the end of February. Cool but sunny, making the riding easy.

This was a fabulous tour. A great way to enjoy the city and get your bearings. Alex was our guide, he was obviously extremely knowledgable but made the tour a lot of fun.

Alex was a great guide, very entertaining and informative. The ride felt safe even though it was a busy public holiday. It was a nice way to see many landmarks in Athens which could then be revisited at your leisure.

Such an excellent way to discover the rich history and site of Athens. Our guide Dimitrios was very knowledgeable, funny. Cycled mainly through safe streets and pathways. Got to viewpoints not accessible by buses. Dimitrios ensured we got to witness the changing of the guards. Highly recommended.

It was a very informative and enjoyable tour with Demitrious who knew a lot of little tidbits of information and kept us engaged. I would do it again just for the pleasure of seeing this beautiful city through the eyes of a proud local.
