“EXCELLENT! Harris the guide was so calm and had soooo much information for us. She even when out of her way to shows us a bit of what was happening in town that day. I loved to see Athens from another angle and would totally recommend it! The bikes were great and there was not really much effort 😊 If I could suggest something, I would make the route a bit longer. Since we have electric bike we can go further without that much effort. But the spots we stopped we great!”
Explore Athens through rebellion, from Ottoman rule to Exarchia activism, with guide Maelle on a thoughtful 2.5-hour walking tour.
“This was the best thing I did in my three days visiting Athens. Maelle was an excellent, knowledgeable and warm guide and I could not recommend them enough. My only negative is that I should have done this on my first day in Athens instead of the last so I could have had a better understanding and appreciation of the city for my stay. 10/10. Do it. :)”

Cycle Athens with guide Stavros from Kerameikos to the Acropolis, markets, ancient ruins, and city viewpoints in a friendly small-group tour.
“Excellent orientation to the city sights, safe riding, and provided interesting background to the historical development of Athens. Stavros was knowledgeable and personable. His directions while riding were excellent, I felt safe in every way navigating foot traffic, city traffic, and a few small hills. His in-depth knowledge at each stop sorted out the ancient history of the ruins to make them memorable and also were insightful in the context of the city's history. This was a great tour of Athens due in large part to the excellent guide. A must for every first time visitor.”
