Our guide Dimitris made the trip even more interesting by showing us hidden spots and telling us funny stories about Greek history. You can even learn Greek language with him as he will find an easy way to explain words:) One more tip: take this ride as a first thing you do in Athens as Dimitris will also give you great recommendations for food, bars,other trips so you won't need to research on your own;)alexandrasZ1761WP

I did the city tour on my first day. Great way to get a feel for the city. Covered various different areas and stayed off busy roads. On my final day I did the coastal tour. Loved this. Great to check out Athens' one bike lane and see some more residential/ less touristy parts of city. Guide was great, full of interesting information. Lovely to have dip in ocean before heading back.anaissaa

I’m so glad we did this tour. It was the first thing we did in Athens and it gave us a fun and useful overview of the city. I’m not a confident cyclist but the tour leader made me feel very safe and relaxed. He also gave us many tips for Athens and Greece in general. Most of the tour was on cycle paths and quiet pedestrian roads, at a relaxed pace. The coast was beautiful. The whole tour was just awesome - give it a go!louissV9657MO

After spending two days in Athens, me and my girlfriend were looking to see something outside of the downtown area we had already toured by foot. Dimitris (our guide) showed us parts of the downtown area but then guided us all the way to the coast with interesting facts along the way. We had a fantastic time and would recommend it to anyone looking to explore Athens from a different perspective.
