We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Xanthippi, our guide, was warm, personable, extremely informative and thoroughly professional. A great introduction to the city, its history and different localities.

Tour guide Efthimis did a great job, shared a lot of city history, and very interesting spots. The ride was not rigorous, E-bikes were not really necessary.. This ride was a great way to see parts of the city that we may not have seen on a bus.
George was very knowledgeable and was careful to ensure we stayed safe and together on the bikes. We had a good pace during the experience. He was helpful and volunteered to take a number of pictures for us.
The e-bikes are amazingly easy to use and take the strain out of climbing the hills of Thessaloniki, although much of the tour takes place on the flat, along the seafront. Our guide Efthimis was very knowledgable about his native city’s history.
Enjoyed the bike ride there was only three of us so was very intimate. Inital part was city centre, up as far as the Agora, then down to Port 1 for a coffee and a quick spin down the coast as far as the music hall. A lot of ground covered, lots of power in the bikes. Guide was pleasant.
Always nice to cover more territory on a bike. We rented bikes, but next time I would probably go with a regular bike. Chill and informative. Going through town is a bit complicated on the bike, but doable.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience fun and interesting. He knew a lot about the history of the area and the small details about the city that only a person that lived there would know. The excursion on an e-bike ride was absolutely necessary because it got us closer to the action of the city. We just needed to be careful when we got into the crowds. Fun all together and will highly recommend it.
This was such a great intro to Thessaloniki. I fell in love with the bustling city and Efthimis was an engaging and knowledgeable guide. E-bikes make it easy but you do go through some fairly busy areas of the city so be prepared to share the road/sidewalk with pedestrians! The tour included a stop at a super charming restaurant for coffee/tea near the port - we liked it so much we went back for cocktails after the tour ended!
Our guide was very professional and knowledgeable. Her English was very good. She was articulate and careful. Really enjoyed the tour
Xanthippi & Vassilis were our tour guides & they were excellent in every way. The bikes were in perfect condition & I would highly recommend this for a great way to see the highlights in Thessaloniki.
George was an outstanding bike tour guide in Thessaloniki. He was incredibly informative, passionate about his city and shared so many interesting facts and stories throughout the tour. His positive energy made the experience enjoyable from start to finish and it felt like we were exploring the city with a friend. He was engaging with everyone in our family and made the ride fun relaxed, and memorable. We learned so much and highly recommend George to anyone looking for a great way to experience Thessaloniki! I also want to add that we had a very nice unexpected coffee stop, which was a nice touch a very nice place. Such a great day.
Our tour guide was great. We really enjoyed the tour and got to see many places. Highly recommend! Great time.
It was a lot of fun and well worth the price. We enjoyed this excursion! Thomas our guide was very cool.
Our guide was fantastic. Knowledgeable and friendly. Great way to learn about the city. Highly recommend.
We all loved this. Got to get exercise and sun and see many sights up close. The boardwalk was beautiful and our guide was great. Highly recommend!
We had a really fun and memorable bike tour overall! Xanthippi, our guide, was fantastic; friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She shared great stories along the way that really brought the sights to life and made the experience engaging from start to finish. There were a couple of hiccups with the bikes, as two of them broke down, but the bike rental “fixer” was excellent as he arrived quickly and got everything repaired so we could continue without too much disruption. Despite the minor bike issues, this was a wonderful tour, and we’d definitely recommend it for a unique and active way to see the city!

Thalis was our tour guide and was excellent. He kept us safe and informed. Bonus was all the tips about the city. Excellent tour for overview of this beautiful city.
This was a great experience. We ended up being a small group with our guide. They explained everything ahead of time— like how to use the bikes, the bike lane, etc. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable about both the monuments as well as more general questions about living in Greece. Overall, we would highly recommend!
Efthamos (sorry about the spelling) was an excellent guide! He made sure that we were safe and stayed together. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and answered all of our questions. We learned so much we wouldn't have otherwise. He had great recommendations for places to eat during our stay. He added his own personal experience into the stories of the city which made it more interesting. And finally, he was pleasant and fun to talk to. We really enjoyed our experience! Thank you, Efthamos!
Our tour guide was fabulous! She was detailed and very knowledgeable. The stops we made were educational!
Efthimis was a wonderful tour guide. He was very informative about the historical sights and gave us great insights into day to day life in Thessaloniki. Efharisto!
Great ebike tour experience! Highly recommend ! Our guide was fabulous, the pace was great. Thanks for a great time.
The weather was not optimal (rainy and windy) but our guide was great and we learned a lot about the city and history.
My husband and I loved the opportunity to ride bikes in Greece and this was a great tour. We were treated to coffee and a Greek dessert which was delicious. You could get a regular or E-bike if needed. Overall it was a great experience.
This bike tour was great! I was hoping that it would give me a lay of the land and greater understanding of the history and it did just that and more! Efthimis was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, patient with my questions and made the tour feel like I was riding bikes with a friend. Would highly recommend as part of your stay! It was my first time on an E-bikes & they were super easy to use!
We had a great day exploring Thessaloniki on the Scenic e-Bike Tour! It was fun, informative, and a great way to see a number of the many local highlights. Xanthippe was a wonderful guide and we enjoyed every minute of our time with her.
Despite the weather, we had a great tour. We saw modern, Byzantine, and Roman sites throughout Thessaloniki and got a great overview of the history of the city.
A UNIQUE WAY TO SEE TOUR THE LOWER CITY. This is the first e bike tour I have taken. Went with my daughter and we were the only two people booked for the morning. Thalis, our guide was wonderful, Friendly, knowledgeable, and showed a genuine love for his city. Saw modern and ancient sites and the tour was topped off with Greek Pancakes and coffee at a waterfront gathering place. Would recommend this trip to anyone of any age. Great communication both pre and post trip.
The Bike Tour in Thessaloniki was fantastic. We did it on our first day in Thessaloniki and it was a great way to get to know the city. Our tour guide was Efthmis and he was very informative and answered all our questions. We stopped at a number of historic sites and learned about the history of these sites and the city. Half way through the tour we stopped for a coffee break and got to talk more about Thessaloniki and Greece in general. We used e-bikes which were a lot of fun and made getting around effortless. It was a unique experience that we will always remember. Do yourself a favor and book this tour when you are in Thessaloniki!
As a first timer, it took me a little while to get used to the e bike. But the guide was very patient and helpful. Very good experience overall!
Excellent tour!! I wish I could give 10 stars!!! The guides were brilliant and took us to all the sights. We had a coffee stop in the middle and they served the most delicious Freddo coffee!! We were on a cruise ship and I enjoyed this trip as one of the most from the week. One point to note - if you are on a cruise ship it’s about a 40 minute walk to the meeting point so bare this in mind.
Thoroughly recommend this…my husband and I did it with our two teens and they loved it! I haven’t ridden a bike for ages but I was fine..they are very easy to ride. Our tour guide was amazing, really knowledgeable and made it very interesting. Great way to see the city!
We did the electric bike tour and enjoyed the sites. The bikes were very easy to ride. The only difficulty was trying to ride the bike in crowded areas.
Perfect way to see the city. The guides were amazing and knowledgeable. Truly enjoyable experience. 😀
It was a great experience. Efthimis, our guide, was brilliant. He showed us some impressive buildings, monuments and archeological sites. It was nice the way he provided historical facts and related them to living in Thessaloniki and to Greek traditions. It was a small, friendly group and we chatted away over coffee and cake before setting off back.
Our e-bike tour in Thessaloniki with our guide Telis was one of the highlights of our trip! The bikes made it easy and fun to explore both the seaside and the uphill parts of the city. Our guide, Telis, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of interesting stories that brought Thessaloniki’s history and culture to life. He made sure the pace was comfortable for everyone and showed us hidden spots we would have never discovered on our own. It was the perfect mix of sightseeing, learning, and enjoying the ride. Meeting directions at a hotel were easily explained. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Thessaloniki!
A fun experience exploring Thessaloniki with guide Thalis. An easy way to see the sights and historic sites in the city.
We had a fantastic day exploring Thessaloniki with Costas on a bike tour. He was very professional (you can tell that he knows his city), made the whole experience fun, and kept the group engaged the entire time. The tour was well organized, relaxed, and full of good energy - I really enjoyed that kind of exploring a city. Costas is a great guide, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to discover the city in an enjoyable and active way.
During the tour we visited all most important areas of Thessaloniki, went trough all of the center and the seafront, which gave us a feeling that we for sure are not missing out on anything, riding though the cities streets seeing also a bit of the regular day to day life of Thessaloniki. E-bikes were really comfortable and easy to use, I think it's the best way to explore the city! Our guide Kostas was very knowledgeable, friendly and chill, left us very satisfied! Plus the coffee and the snacks were a very nice added bonus! If you book this tour you will not regret it, because you will see everything you want and need to see! Highly recommend!
Great experience! We saw a lot of the city and had a very informative guide. Only do this if you are comfortable on an e-bike as you do go on city streets. Great way to see Thessaloniki! Highly recommend
We really enjoyed this trip . The bikes were in great condition and our guide was really nice , he shared lots of information as we stopped at the sites , his English was very good and genuinely nice guy I’d recommend this trip for anyone looking to see a little history of the city for a couple of hours
Great way to get a feel of Thessaloniki and see the main sights from a local and try local food! Amazing tour!!
Had a wonderful 3 hours of relaxed riding and a very informative tour of this eclectic city. Thalis was very knowledgable and made the tour really interesting with plenty of stops so still easy to do in the heat. Stopping for a quick desert and coffee was a wonderful way to end this charming tour. I’d highly recommend anyone to do this tour and thanks to Thalis for sharing his knowledge of this city, no questions were left unanswered 😊
Totally recommend! Thomas was AMAZING! Thomas spoke English very well and was very kind and knowledgeable! I enjoyed every moment!
Our guide Thalis was wonderful and we saw all the highlights of the city. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and personable. We thoroughly enjoyed it!
The tour lasted about three hours and we saw the most beautiful sights of the city accompanied by our experienced tour leader. Totally recommend it! The whole experience was really beautiful and we were able to see every hidden gem of the city.
Had a lot of fun and got good recommendations. Would have appreciated a few more information on the visited spots. Had a very nice coffee break. A very good way to get to know Thessaloniki. Would recommend the tour.
The tour was very well organized and we blended very well with the tour guide. The historical stops were very interesting.
We landed by cruise ship and choose to do this local tour. It was excellent. Elena was a terrific guide. She was fun with a great sense of humor too. Great way to see highlights and to know what you’d like to go back to visit later. She recommended a great lunch spot too!
