Small-group Athens e-bike tour to Parthenon area, Hadrian’s Arch, Tower of the Winds and Kallimarmaro, with live audio and Koulouri.
“This was a great tour. One needs to be comfortable on a bicycle. Some of the e-bikes were rear-wheel (hub) drive and the drive kept going for 1.5 seconds after pedalling stopped, increasing the risk of an accident. Mid-drive motors were promised. That aside, the guide was great, and helpful when the chain came off on the hub drive bike. The tour was informative and great fun. By the way, cycle carefully as marble is slippery.”

“We took a tour in Athens yesterday, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Upon confirming our purchase, Marina immediately reached out to ensure all our needs were met for the tour. I shared what we wanted to see and do, and she connected us with Konstantinos, our guide for the day. He was incredibly knowledgeable, showing us both the well-known and hidden gems of Athens, while providing detailed explanations at every stop. We enjoyed our time with him far more than we anticipated, and I highly recommend him and his company for anyone looking for a top-notch tour in Athens.”

“The sights are beautiful and it was SUPER fun to ride the segways in such an incredibly beautiful city, but....it would have been a great tour if we had understood our tour guide. She was a lovely girl but her accent was incredibly thick and her voice was so soft that we pretty much missed the entire story of all the sites that we visited :(”
