Kostas Poulopoulos was an excellent guide as we enjoyed many sites in Athens. Every member of our group enjoyed the trip.

Absolutely brilliant! Our host Marios was the right mix of humour, knowledge and care. My only regret is that we didn’t do this in the first day of our trip to Athens – Marios gave us a lot of insight into Athens, its neighbourhood and excellent recommendations. There is one moderate hill at the start, the bikes were easy to use. Take an early tour, particularly on a warm day, and take water and sunblock.

This was our very first adventure after arriving in Athens, and it did not disappoint! We loved getting to see so much of the city, and our kids had an absolute blast riding the e-bikes through the streets and around the historic sites. It’s such a great way to get an overview of Athens — you ride past all the major landmarks and get a feel for where everything is. I highly recommend doing this first before taking guided tours of the individual sites, since you mostly see the exteriors during the ride. It really helps you decide what you want to explore more deeply later. Special recognition to Rena, our guide — she was amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. A wonderful experience all around!

My brother and I did an e-bike tour this morning and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. We were greeted by a very nice girl at reception and were sorted out with excellent and easy to use bikes. Kostas our guide, was really friendly, very knowledgeable and super enthusiastic. Athens is beautiful by bike and you go to some great photo spots. The tour lasts 2,5 hours but we could have carried on for much longer. Afterwards you get a link with lots of useful recommendations- I can certainly recommend this activity!

We had a great time with Rena on our e-bike tour. The pace was perfect and she avoided all the congested roads of Athens. There were several stops for pictures and walking around. Great way to orient yourself to the historical part of Athens. Highly recommend.

Dimitri- the best Athens e-bike guide you could ask for! He is native to the area & has great passion about biking, people, history & food! I have to admit I was a little apprehensive about a bike tour in the hilly town of Athens. I am NOT an avid cyclist or even in great shape but I am now a full believer that e-bike is the best way to get around and see lots of sights in one day! In addition to being a great guide, Dimitri served as our personal photographer & made sure everyone had great photo memories of themselves at each spot. When our tour was complete Dimitri stuck around and chatted a bit about his favorite spot for food, beer & other things to do if we had open space in our schedule. 100% book this trip- you WON’T be disappointed!!
