This bike tour was amazing. My guide "D" is very knowledgeable and friendly and had a few surprises for us along the way
Had a really enjoyable ride to the coast in March with Kostas. He's easy going, super-knowledgeable about Athens (and Sparta) and can give you lots of great tips for your visit. If possible, try and make this one of your first tours!
Great way to see Athens! More than 95 of the tour was on bike paths. We felt very safe. We enjoyed seeing the city from a different perspective. Our tour guide, Kostas, was fantastic. He was friendly, very professional, yet laid back and even treated us to a traditional Greek dessert on our way back to the city. Highly recommend.
This tour was amazing and our tour guide Sapfo was the BEST! Her humour and personality was the best and from the moment we walked into the bike shop she treated us like family. The other staff were pretty great too. Sapfo gave us the best crash course in Athens and Greek culture, showed us parts of the City that I'm absolutely sure we wouldn't have found ourselves, like the new Cultural Center that houses a modern-designed library and a roof top with great views of the city. We also went to the marina, the observatory and some of the more touristy areas like Monstaki ? Square. We lucked out and ended up with a personal tour because we were the only ones booked during that time. We had a short 2 days! in Athens and taking the bike tour was really the best decision because we were able to cover a lot of the city that we otherwise would not have. Sapfo also stopped by a nice café and introduced us to some Greek treats that were delicious. After the tour, Athens By Bike also followed up with recommendations of things we would like. Very nice and I highly recommend this.
This was my second time with Athens By Bike. I ended up getting a private tour with Dimitri. Awesome bike ride, really nice scenery, and knowledgeable guide. The first time I was in Athens I spent all my time learning about ancient Athens, this was a really good way to experience modern Athens.
This was an amazing tour and probably my favorite experience in Athens. It's great to be out, seeing the sights, and breathing that fresh sea air! Easy enough for all fitness levels flat surface.
Many thanks to Kostas for a wonderful tour. We were in Athens for over a week and not going on to the coast anywhere else and it was just great to get out of the city centre and down to the coast - and to see other bits of Athens. Kostas is doing a PhD in History and know his stuff! My husband didn't bike as a child and is thus nervous on roads. But this tour was fine as it really was on cycle paths most of the way.
