We are a family with two children, ages 8 and 11, and we had a wonderful experience on the tour. Our guide made all the necessary adjustments to keep the kids entertained and engaged throughout the day. She was also very patient, kind, and attentive to our family’s needs, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour, especially for families with children!

As always, a very pleasant and interesting bike tour. Perfect wat to see a lot of the city in a short time, without queues . Very knowledgeable guide!
Making a trip by bike in Athens was realley fantastic.Very good guide who shows us all the nice places from Athen.Professional Team,and it ends with a good Greece Yoghurt.Bikes were in good shape.so top organised!
Our guide Cynthia was absolutely amazing!! But the bikes were absolutely terrible. 3 gears! That’s it for all the hills. And the bikes were super heavy. And we are used to riding as we are from Colorado. And we do bike city tours all over the world. As I said, our guide is fantastic, but I do not recommend this company since the bikes were terrible.
Great family experience. Very nice way to explore Athens in a relaxing way and without remaining stuck in the crowds. I would recommend a morning tour before the streets get too busy. We were with our daughter and it is a tour for all ages. Michelle was a very nice guide! Highly recommended
Gratis experence, good tour , clear guide. Never have a bad experience with Baja bikes
Had a really nice (Dutch) tour with Dimitrios.
Fun! Our guide Femke told us a lot of fact about the city. Not all the typical stuff. A lot of streetart, our favorite. Foodmarket and Greek history. Recommand strongly!
Very interesting and nice tour with a very good and friendly guide.
Sandra was a veryyy friendly Guide. The tour was much better than expected. The tour is a must do in your vacation. We can really recommend it.!! A big thank you to Sandra for this great morning.🫶🏻💌
Great experience. Joost was our guide. He told many stories and anecdotes while taking ample stops at the must sees and more hidden spots. Great tour however some biking experience is advised. Being Dutch makes that part easy,-)
The route was awesome, great way to see al the highlights and nice stories at all stops. Marieke is a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide.
We ended up being the only two people on our tour as we were the only English speaking guests in the morning. We had a wonderful time cycling around Athens. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The streets in Athens are quite hilly so we had to work hard on the 3-speed bikes provided. If you feel you don’t want such a workout, the company has e-bikes to rent. We would highly recommend this tour. We learned so much about Athens! Ingrid
Very nice bike tour covering the highlights of Athens. Tour guide Marieke is an enthusiastic woman who tells just enough and nice information at the various stops
Our Dutch guide Marieken took us on a great tour through different parts of the city with unexpected discoveries. Afterwards, we had a good idea of what we wanted to see next. This was an ideal first impression of the city. Very much recommended.
My multilingual guide Mariken was very accommodating & full of information. She took us to many sites as well as some local spots where I was able to find a unique souvenir. This is a great way to see the city.
Marieken was an excellent guide showing us the highlights of the city with good story telling to provide some relevant context. Bike tours are the best way to quickly discover a city with a guide. Highly recommended.
Joost was the best in guiding in whole athens book him, he explained everything. He even gave us ice cream that was delicious. Thanks for the good tour!
Very nice traveling by bike with comfortable guide! We’ve seen some of the many point of interests. Traveling by bike is a very nice way in getting to know the surroundings.
Amazing experience ! Very enthusiastic and friendly tour guide. The guide was very interesting and we saw lots of great hidden gems.
⸻ I recently did a bike tour through Athens, and it was absolutely outstanding. Cycling through the city was the perfect way to explore both ancient landmarks and hidden local spots. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about Greek mythology, history, and everyday Athenian life. We visited places like the Acropolis, the Roman Agora, and charming neighborhoods like Plaka and Anafiotika. What made it special was the relaxed pace and the chance to ask questions and really absorb the atmosphere. I learned so much more than I expected – not just dates and names, but how the past connects with the present. Highly recommended if you want a fun, active, and insightful way to experience Athens
Amazing! Had so much fun, could laugh with the tour guide and saw so many cool spots. Beautiful architecture with the best background information!
Great tour with Marieke, biking is super relaxing as you see the great spots of the city and can cool down with wind in your face.
We were a dutch group of 6 people and had Marie as our tourguide. This was an absolutely wonderful tour in the city center! Marie was very friendly. She really looks to the group to see what we think is important. We like all the stories about Athens. The stories were about the ancient times, but also the recent times. She shared a lot of tips to get around, which places to go to etc. We did visit all the highlights and also had some leftover time to visit a few spots such as the market and the olympic stadium. We also had an awesome yoghurt ice cream that Marie advised us! Thanks a lot for this wonderful tour Marie!
Michelle took us with flair and Lots of interesting facts around the city. Some famous sites, Some only known to locals. Topped off with Greek yoghurt! An unforgetable morning!
Michel was amazing! Such a good way to see the city, we were only in athens for 2 days so was perfect to do!
Loved the trip, seeing the highlights and getting a bit more background. Thx you so much Marieke, well organized, good bikes and nice stops.
We had an amazing experience on the “Let’s Meet in Athens” bike tour! Our guide, Dimitri, was both fun and incredibly informative. He shared a wealth of knowledge about Athens’ history and culture, making each stop engaging and memorable. The route was well-planned, allowing us to see many of the city’s highlights comfortably by bike. Dimitri’s enthusiasm and storytelling truly enhanced the tour. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Athens in an active and educational way!
Wonderful tour with great guide. We saw the best spots in Athens! The cycling was not difficult. We will do this again! Highly recommended!
We had a great tour with Marieke. Really enjoyed it. Was great to also go to some less famous places. Highly recommended!
Great way to get a head start on seeing the sights. The selected routes and familiarity with which the guide transports you through them results in a glimpse into the citylife alongside of the tourism. The bikes were adjustable, including truly lowering the seat, (which is not always a real option due to the frame) and comfortable.
Great trip! Saw the most of the highlights we could cycle to in a 3 hour tour. Guide was knowledgable and the tempo was very doable! Thanks 😄
They were very kind and they gave us a very clear experience through Athenes!! Also very good guiding! I would totally recommend this to everybody!
We just finished our 3 hour private bike tour with Joost and it was a great experience! While cycling through different parts of the city Joost gives you a lot of background information. He talked about the past and present in a way that makes it fun and educational. Joost has a great sense of humour that he brings into his stories. The bicycles are in good condition. They have e-bikes but we used regular ones that worked great as well. We highly recommend this tour to everyone who wants to get a better idea of the city! Thanks Joost!
Together with my mother we did the Athene biketour. It was a very nice tour. Tourleader told us very much about the history of Athene. We visited all important historical places. There was enough time to take pictures at every stop. We would defenitely recommend the tour.
Top service, dedicated guides and fun and you get to know the city and its history. Definitely something you must do in Athene.
What a unique way to experience the dynamic city of Athens! Our tour guide was full of super interesting information - historial, cultural, political, quotidian - and welcomed all our questions about the many different landmarks covered during the tour. I went with my sister, and we both loved biking around in Athens while learning about the many different facets of the city. The hours flew by as we leisurely made our way through the different neighborhoods. Everything went super smoothly, right from the booking through to the end of the tour. Our tour guide spoke English fluently and willingly helped me with any Greek vocabulary I had questions on. I plan to do another tour with the same company next time I'm in Athens.
We had 2 families on a kids bike tour of Athens. Our guide was fun and engaging. Bikes for the 10 year olds weren’t electric which was problematic up hills but they did it!
Wonderful cycling, partly in the sunshine along the highlights of Athens. Nice explanation and explanation from Iris. She was well informed about the history
Thanks for a great trip. Faeston was knowledgeable and shared lots of information on the history, culture and society. Liked that the tour included a mix of historical and more modern sites, a great balance. Wasn’t rushed and a great way to explore the city and get our bearings.
Great ride. Knowledgeable guide with historical and modern insights. Engaging for the kids too. Navigated the traffic well.
Very nice expérience. Riding through Athens with the nice facts of our guide Joost. Highly recommend. …,…………………………..
You need to be in a little shape OR get an electric bike for ease. The route is full of hills and parks and A LOT of traffic. BUT, the guide Dimitris was very nice, has a lot of knowledge and tries to keep up the tempo so that you can see everything in a respectable time. You have time to take pictures and get a nice greek- yoghurt snack. He answered all your questions and if you want to go sight seeing outside of athens, he knows where to go too. Thank you for the lovely tour and information!
Dimitris was an amazing guide. We feel like we have seen all of Athene in 3 hours. If you want to learn about the history of Athene and all the nice spots, this is the tour.
Beautiful hike with an excellent host. Joost told a lot about ancient Athens and he was more than willing to answer our questions😊 We had a great time and we enjoyed the beautiful views, this tour is most certainly worth the money!
What an amazing tour we did with teenagers. Joost was very friendly, hè really likes to talk about all inside stories on this beautiful tour trough Athens. 3 hours pasted by very fast!
Really cool bike tour through Athens with Joost who tells his stories very enthusiastic. Fun, not to much hill climbing and best way to explore the city
Very nice tour with Feathon. All the highlights in 3 hours with a nice background story. It is nice to be toured through the small streets of plaka with all the funfacts.
Our tour guide faethon was great! Learned a lot of history and saw beautiful monuments. And he even gave us some tips for good restaurants and nice spots!
Michelle did a great job as our guide. There was only four of us total, which was very nice. The only thing was at the very end it was a bit uncomfortable weaving in and out of traffic to get back to the bike place. I just wonder if there is a safer way to get back. I do think you need to be in fairly decent shape to do the ride. Otherwise it was great and I highly recommend.
