Wow! This was an amazing trip. Great communication via WhatsApp. Prior to the trip with the rain coming while we were there. Stephanie was absolutely amazing and also gave us some great recommendations for places to eat afterwards. It was a great tour around town. There were not too many people on our trip, and she was very sensitive to us as we got on and off the bikes. We would do this trip again. I loved every minute of it.

Karolis has giuded us with much fun.
Fun time riding around Athens with a Spartan named Kostas! Great guide. So many laughs and lots of good info on sites and tips for the city. Would do again and highly recommend! Great way to get your bearings in a new city on the first day especially.
Great way to get your bearings in Athens, very enjoyable and informative.
Highly recommend. Some European bike tours are a Tour de France-style ride as they race all over this city to fit everything in. This is not that ride. Leisurely ride through Athens and at the end, we had still ridden by most of the major (and minor) tourist sites. Stephanie at the Athens Bike Tour was our guide and she was wonderful. Always discussing this or pointing out that about Athens as we were riding, or whenever stopped for pictures or site viewing. One my favorite bike tours, ever.
Charles aka Carl aka Chuck was a fun, fantastic guide
Group of ten riders. Angel was a great guide, sharing his local knowledge on a breadth of topics. The bikes were easy to operate. Highly recommend this tour.
Karolis was our guide and he is phenomenal. He is very knowledgeable and so sweet. We our in are 60’s and never felt like we couldn’t keep up. He was patient and made the entire experience amazing. It was one of the best excursions we have ever done. We highly recommend it!
Alex our guide was great and had a good sense of humour. The e bikes make it so easy and the route was off the main roads 👍😎
We loved this tour! It gave us a great view of Athens and it was lovely to be outdoors and enjoying the sunshine and fresh air! Tour guide was super knowledgeable and we enjoyed it immensely!
This was a great tour. Our tour leader, Renee, was very personable and provided a good deal of info along the way. The route was out of the traffic, with plenty of time to stop for breaks and to see certain key Athens sites. The tour lasted close to 3 1/2 hours and there was no stress in biking given the excellent e-bikes provided. The tour proved to be a solid introduction to Athens.
Stephanie was amazing. She personalized our tour perfectly , gave a good balance of history and culture info.
Great e-bike tour. I was a little nervous thinking we may be riding in Athens with vehicle and pedestrian traffic. I did not have to worry. It was doable. Our guide was great at making sure we didn’t have a problem.
Did this with Alex as guide. A good introduction to the core of the city. Alex was entertaining and knowledgeable ,made the experience fun Recommended
This was a marvelous experience all around! The group was a manageable size. Our guide, Reini, was engaging and knowledgeable, humorous and friendly. She made everyone feel very welcome and supported, with clear explanations. She took breaks at meaningful locations and sites. She gave wonderful tips and explanations about Athens, history and culture. The bikes were great with smooth gears and working order. It was very fun and educational! A great way to get oriented!
Kleanthis Was our tour guide. Excellent knowledge made sure the group was safe at all times. Fun and friendly experience giving you a great overall feel for the city. Would highly recommend.
We had a fantastic time with our tour guide, Stephanie! She was wonderfully professional, friendly, and attentive to everyone on the tour. If you want to see the best of Athens, doing it by bike with Athens by Bike is definitely the way to go. Their staff members are highly qualified and professional. I highly recommend them!
Great e-bike tour around Greece. Knowledgeable and fun guide “Poseidon” ******highly recommend******
Stephanie was absolutely amazing, it brought the tour to life and was amazing
I had an amazing time doing this E-Bike tour with Alex (the one with five names lol) who took the group around the city and to places that I didn’t know about (this is my 2nd visit to Athens). I would highly recommend using this company to explore the city of Athens and specially with Alex, who is a nice and funny person where he shared his knowledge of the city and told me the best place for Gelato! Where I went afterwards, thank you.
You will learn how to manoeuvre your e-bike in crowded streets and on cobblestone The tour guide shared history with a dose of comedy
Our e-bike tour of Athens was absolutely incredible and easily one of the highlights of our trip! 🇬🇷🚲 Stephanie was AMAZING—so warm, kind, and welcoming that we instantly felt comfortable with her. She shared so much wonderful history and knowledge along the way while keeping everything fun and engaging. It was such a unique and beautiful way to see Athens and learn more about this incredible city. We would 100% recommend this tour, especially with Stephanie! ❤️
Stephanie was such a fabulous tour guide, friendly, informative, funny and knowledgeable. We were so lucky to have her to share the secrets of Athens
The tour was absolutely incredible. Demetrius was incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, funny, and generally amazing! This was the best Tour I’ve ever done and I look forward to doing it each time. I should buy myself an app. Highly recommend.
This was the highlight of my stay in Athens! I booked yesterday, then I cancelled this morning due to rainy weather, then I un-cancelled it 20 minutes before ride started. Thankfully I was staying very near by. I’m so glad I got up and did the ride! The bikes were well-maintained, the route was perfection and Marios was the ultimate leader! Marios kept us all safe, together and most important, kept us laughing with his unique commentary. Highly recommend this operator and Marios.
my tour guide Steph was amazing. This was a great way to get around the city and viewing the amazing history. Our guide made this a relaxing and fun tour.
A great afternoon! Our guide was perfect and the tour gave us a great introduction to Athens. Bikes also really good
Aggelos was a great tour guide. Highly recommend
We had a fantastic e-bike tour of Athens with George. He was really friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience great fun. George had loads of knowledge about Athens, its history and all the sights we visited, and he was happy to answer any questions along the way. The e-bikes were a great way to explore the city and see much more than we would have on foot. A brilliant tour and a great guide — highly recommended! 🚴♂️🇬🇷
This was an amazing way to see the city. The communication between the company and me was excellent. Our tour guide was Stephanie and she was everything you’d want in a guide. Kept things moving, knowledgeable about Athens, and was very interested in helping the guests with any travel questions as well. 10 out of 10!
This tour was excellent, and our guide, Karolis, was fantastic! Being in a small group meant we got the best views of the Acropolis without the heavy crowds. We learned so much about the history, legends, and traditions of this beautiful ancient site. As a bonus, Karolis gave us great recommendations for eating, drinking, and getting around the city. Highly recommended!
Great way to see Athens and get tips of places to go. Jim was really knowledgeable and very amusing making the whole tour great fun.
Demos was a great guide, with lots of extra knowledge about mythology. Highly recommended
It was a 2,5 hour tour but not exhausting, for the price of 35 euros. The tour was great, it included all major city attractions. Special thanks to our tour guide Alex, who was excellent.
We just finished a fantastic cycling tour throughout Athens with Kleanthis. The ride was easy, very doable on a ‘normal’ bike and a nice route with lots of highlights and amazing views. Kleanthis was the best tour guide: easily understandable with a lot of good stories without burying you with historical facts. We loved it!
Great tour, bikes were easy to use and made the trip that much more enjoyable. Kleathis (Mr. K) was amazing. One of the best tour guides ever ! He was knowledgeable, funny and very personable. Always looking out for the group cyclists making sure we were all safe at all times. Highly recommend Athens by Bike and if you can get in with Mr. K's group. The groups are small (we were seven) which makes it a much more interactive experience. Don't miss it !
Stephanie was the highlight of our tour. Very patient and knowledgeable about our tour. Great way to see the city in E bike. Highly recommend
Fantastic way to explore Athens! The e-bike tour took us around the Acropolis, Parthenon and Ancient Agora, with fascinating insights into the city’s history and culture. Our guide Angelos was excellent — extremely knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. When we had a flat tire, he fixed it amazingly quickly and completely unflappably, without missing a beat. Highly recommended, and especially if you’re lucky enough to have Angelos as your guide!
Excellent tour. Really enjoyable, entertaining & informative. Our guide, Demos, was fantastic. Very authentic about taking care of his guests and highlighting the best of Athens. Highly recommend going out of your way to book a tour with him
Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Demos, our guide, was informative and delightful. Bikes were easy to ride and route avoided car traffic. Got to see some lovely parts of the city.
Stephanie was such a great guide! And we loved getting to cover so much ground relatively quickly on the e-bikes. We were able to see a lot of Athens and get our bearings in the city. Stephanie even timed our tour just right so that we were able to watch the changing of the guards at the President’s Palace.
5 stars — Stephanie made our Athens e-bike tour absolutely brilliant! She was knowledgeable, funny, and clearly loves the city — from ancient ruins to hidden local spots we never would have found on our own. She kept the pace perfect for our group and made sure everyone felt confident on the bikes. If you're visiting Athens, book this tour and ask for Stephanie. The best start to our trip!
Had a great time, Alex was excellent with his explanations, pace of the ride and his knowledge about Athens . Great way to get a feel for the place if you have never been before.
Great ride. Karolis was a great guide and show all the hidden. I would absolutely recommend when visiting Athens. 10/10. Also great photographer!
Jim was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide with an engaging manner. We got such a great look around Athens and revisited some of Jim's recommendations. Bikes were in excellent condition. Highly recommend.
We loved our bike tour and our guide, Rena, was awesome!
Fun tour. Not a difficult ride at all. Demos was a great guide - knowledgable, friendly, funny Definitely worth considering!
Our tour guide Demos was excellent. Very knowledgeable and fun to chat with. Gave us places to eat and visit as well
Stephanie was fantastic, friendly, engaging and knowledgeable, bikes were well kept and like new
A perfect way to see and learn so much about Athens in only a few hours. This was a highlight of our visit as our guide Kostas was engaging, funny and a wealth of knowledge about Greek history and culture. I would highly recommend this specific tour, or any tours led by Athens Bikes - quality eBikes and top notch staff. And as for Kostas!
