I took this tour on my first morning in Athens and it was a great way to start the trip. We rode past all the major sites, so it's useful to get an idea of where they are located and which ones you might want to come back and spend more time visiting. The bikes were in good condition and the ride was safe and pleasant. Dimitris was an excellent guide, he was happy to take photos and knows a lot about the history of the city as well as practical info like where to watch the sunset. When I mentioned that I'd like to come back to the National Garden on my own but didn't think I'd remember all the trails, he made sure we rode past a map on our way out so that I'd have the info I needed to navigate later. These guys are really committed to making sure you enjoy your time in Athens. Thanks for the fun tour.

Although we were on a walking tour the day before, and naturally some attractions overlapped we really enjoyed this tour. We were a group of 8 from 3 different nations and our guide (D.) found the right tone and information for everyone.
The tour is well paced and a good mix of culture and history but also includes current cultural aspects.
The bikes are in good shape and comfortable to ride.
We highly recommend this tour/activity, regardless if it’s the only guided tour in Athens or if you want to add s
A little bit of sportive activity to your learning experience.

We had a great morning exploring Athens on bike. We love this type of tour because it gets you to all the highlights in just a couple of hours.
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the different areas in Athens.
Unfortunately there are regulations so te guide isn’t allowed to talk about the history of the place which is a shame but the tour can’t help that, so no problem.
We also received a list via email with al the tips we received during the tour which helps a lot because it’s a lot of information!
So would certainly recommend it as one of the first tours to do in Athens to get the feel of the city!

The ride is mostly flat and it has stops at different parks with amazing views of the city and it’s most important monuments. The ride is off the beaten path with no traffic and the e-bikes makes it a breeze. Our tour leader, did a fantastic job at creating a friendly environment for the entire family.
In addition of watching many monuments and ruins, we also experienced the change of guard ceremony, which is a must see. We can imagine that it would have taken us at least 6 hours by foot to see as much as we saw during this tour.
Half way during the tour, we stopped at a small restaurant, where our tour leader treated us with some coffee / drinks and amazing Greek ice cream, in the typical Greek hospitality way. It was a relaxing bike ride in a beautiful city.
I highly recommend this experience.
Thank you Athens by Bike.

My friend Autumn and I did a bike tour the first full day we had on our Athens trip. Kostas was our tour guide and he was amazing! The bike ride was smooth and we went to different sites all around the city while Kostas shared some history about each place. This helped us navigate the city on our own a bit easier throughout the rest of our trip. Kostas also provided some amazing recommendations for food/drinks. Thank you again Kostas and Athens by bike for such a memorable & fun trip!! 5/5 recommend!! :) - Autumn & Caitlin

Highly recommend booking a guided bike tour with Athens by Bike. Our guide, Kostas, read our group well and suggested e-bikes as we had one competitive rider (regular bike) and a group of mixed levels, me being the lowest. Incredible views of the city and out to the beach. I can say I NEVER would have been able to see all that without the e-bikes and Kostas. He knew where to take us to avoid crowds and traffic and all the must-sees for the city. It was a perfect way to see Athens on day 1 of our trip. He was full of great suggestions of when and where to visit places to avoid the crowds. Thank you, Kostas!!

We really enjoyed our bike tour around Athens . Danai was a terrific guide - one of the best I’ve experienced . We landed at 10:00 am from the USA and took the 1:30 tour which was the perfect way to get our bearings in Athens . The trip avoided the heavy car traffic areas and we were able to stop at many sites and take in the beauty of the city . Highly recommend!!

My kids. aged 17 and 12, and I joined our guide, Dimos and a small group for a morning ride. This is the first time we had been on electric bikes and wow, we were in for a treat! The ride was beautifully planned out by Dimos covering highlights and some off-beaten paths that were real treats. After being in the city and getting a feel for Greek drivers, we were a bit worried; however, out concerns quickly melted away.
It’s by far, one of our favorite excursions in Athens. Big thumbs up… ask for Dimos; you will not be disappointed.

The tour was exciting and fun to experience. Amazing tour guides Costas and Felix, who knew the city really well, shows us the best places to take pictures and told us a lot interesting facts. It wasn’t at all boring or tiring. Guides planned the tour really well and had chosen the most important places to visit at Athens. They were fun, talkative and outgoing, so we had a really nice time throughout the tour with them.

You never quite know what you’re going to get with guided city, bike tours! We could not have been happier. Rena was so vivacious, gregarious, entertaining, beautiful and attentive. It seems that she was enjoying every second, and wanted to connect with everyone. The experience itself was really good. Athens by Bike have charted a sensible course, which gives riders a different perspective on key sites and institutions. Rena‘s storytelling was delivered with such joy and passion. The e-bikes made certain no one was left behind. We were disappointed it had to end. Rena rules! Give that girl a raise!

We'd love to book, but will have a 7 year old with us who IS able to ride a bike very well. Do you have any options so that we can join you? Sounds amazing!
Written October 16, 2019
Hello Erin, We have available bikes for your 7 y/o, and he can join the tour if he is confident in riding a bike on public streets. The route is safe and far away from traffic. Nevertheless, the child should be able to keep a low pace following a group of up to 12 bikes (including your family). You are welcome to join if you want.
We also have the option for a private bike tour which is a bit more expensive.
We hope to see you soon!

Hello friend,
Thank you for your question.
Our morning city tour is the best way to have a nice overview of the city of Athens, passing by all the major sites of the city.
The first stop is in front of the new Acropolis Museum, where we will give you some useful tips about visiting the Acropolis hill and the Parthenon.
Then, through nice and quiet pedestrian areas we will pass by the main highlights of the historic center, the Ancient Greek Agora, the Keramikos Ancient cemetery, the Roman Agora and finally the Athens Orthodox Cathedral. We will also visit some hidden spots of the city that you might have missed.
Our 20-25minute coffee break follows. You will have the chance to taste the popular Greek style coffee and relax for a while. Then, we start cycling again and have a closer look at the Panathenaic Stadium, the venue where the first modern Olympic Games took place. We will also cycle through the maze of the National gardens, the best place to enjoy nice shady trails and to cool down a little. We will admire the Presidential guards in front of the Presidential mansion and check in at Zappeion indoor hall.
This bike tour is designed for the average cyclist. We do not cycle on busy streets and we avoid difficult up-hills. Small groups and local tour leaders ensure your safety.
I remain at your disposal for any further clarifications and do not hesitate to contact us for any further clarifications,
Best regards
