Traveler reviews
Electric bike + Acropolis Guided tour! Really fantastic & fun!
Electric bike + Acropolis guided tour… We were met by Rena our guide for the bike ride with the most enthusiasm of anyone I have known. She learnt all of our names immediately in our group of 12. I have never ridden an electric bike before and this was an absolute breeze! Rena was a wonderful guide navigating us around the crowded streets of Athens with ease. We stopped at various points throughout the trips where all the interesting facts about what we were looking at were explained fully. We were also given many personal recommendations of places to visit and see within the rest of our trip. Rena is an absolute credit to the company and loves her job and it really shows. The whole bike ride was approx 2.5 hours and we thoroughly enjoyed it!!! You must book this trip. As soon as we returned to base and handed the bikes back, part 2 of our tour started. This is where Dimos took over and was the walking part of the tour up the Acropolis. Dimos had our entry tickets ready and we skipped the queues and went straight in. Dimos was so knowledgeable and also very interesting in everything he told us. We slowly made our way up the Acropolis passing by all of the interesting points and Dimos would tell us the historical stories of the beliefs of the Greek Gods and why parts were built and what had happened to them. I learnt so much from him. He took photos for us and made the whole experience so much more enjoyable and informative than if we had tried to navigate ourselves. You definitely need a guide to understand the Acropolis fully. This whole trip is an absolute MUST for visitors to Athens!!!
Athens by bike the best option.
Alex was funny, informed, passionate and professional. An e-bike in Athens is fabulous as it takes you up hills you mightn't walk, and skinny roads buses wouldn't take. Fabulous.
Excellent guide and great...
Excellent guide and great tour - good way to see Athens and would highly recommend. Great view of the Acropolis on the tour.
Great way to see the sites
Dimitris was great. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. It got a little crowded in places, but not too bad. Fun to see the changing of the guard and hear some firsthand background on military service in Greece.
E-bike tour through Athens with a visit to the Acropolis
With Dimos, we had a companion who took us to many noteworthy places and illuminated them with a lot of historical background. He knew the best spots for cool pictures and was a competent contact for all questions.
