Our bike tour was so awesome. Super comfortable bikes, excellent and very safe route. We got to see the city, a nice trail through interesting neighborhoods, and gorgeous seaside . Our guide (Soto) was really awesome. He knew a ton about Athens, local culture, restaurants, biking, etc. He was an easy conversationalist, and met our pace perfectly. At the end of the tour he gave us several restaurant and bar recommendations in new neighborhoods we hadn’t visited in Athens. The meals we had there were awesome— lively patrons and environment, excellent food, at a great price. We highly recommend this tour, and highly recommend Soto!

We stopped at the Opera House and our tour guide stopped us to wait for the water fountain to begin to move to the music. It was beautiful.

We had the most wonderful time on the tour. It was my favorite adventure on our whole trip. The weather was beautiful and it was great to see more of Athens up close and personal. What really made our trip super memorable was our fantastic guide, Kostas. He was so helpful, knowledgeable, funny, and just an all around perfect guide to show us around. 10/10 would recommend this adventure if you like some physical activity while on our vacation!

We had a small group of four. The experience from the reception to our local bike guide was excellent. The bikes and the shop are in great condition. Our guide Sotos is professional, patient and has a good sense of humor. The riding on the coast was a good escape from the historic Athens. Needless to say, a good way to see the locals lives and breezes. I'll recommend this trip.

We had such a fine time with our small group and our local guide, Sotos! Ride of about 17 or 18 miles through the Plaka and suburbs to the gorgeous blue Aegean coast. Stopped for an iced espresso on the beach, then a delicious local sweet treat called bougasta. Great way to spend the morning

Great time on the City and Sea tour, totally different perspective of Athens with 90% of tour on dedicated pedestrian and bike trails. We had ebikes which made the ride easy but it would be ok on non-powered bikes as well. The guide was excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable with good English. We did go for a swim at Kalamaki beach but the facilities are very poor there with dirty change rooms, no fresh water to shower off after swimming, and lots of garbage on the beach. If I went again I would skip the swim and just grab a beer.

First I loved the fact that we covered so much of the city. It is a unique way while burning some calories to see a lot of the city. Very recommended to do it on the first day to get a good perspective of the city and its gems. We had the chance to have a perfect weather and an amazing tour guide Sotiris, which was super professional, helpful and knowledgeable. We got a lot of tips for our remaining days at Athens. Overall, very recommended.
