The tour guide Carl was very knowledgeable and entertaining throughout. The E-bikes were fantastic and we visited a good variety of sights. I did not give this tour 5 star because it was advertised as (Read More) an E-bike tour but half the group had normal bikes which slowed the tour down as we had to keep waiting for them. It would be much better to split the tours. However very good on the whole!

Meine Tochter (17) und ich haben die Tour mit dem Guide Kleanthis gemacht. Es war rundum super. Es gibt einen guten Überblick um die Stadtviertel rund um die Akropolis und am Ende auch persönliche Tip (Read More)ps per Mail. Kann ich nur empfehlen! Bei den Bikes bitte keine Highend Performance erwarten. Da fehlt schon mal ein Kettenschutz und der Antrieb ist nicht die Bosch Performance line. Aber für die Tour absolut ausreichend. Nur für Radfahrer, die ein Mindestmaß an Praxis mitbringen. Es geht mitten in den Menschenmassen ein wenig bergauf und bergab. Erfahrungen mit Kettenschaltung und Bremsen auf auf „schwierigem“ Untergrund sollten vorhanden sein. Für jeden „All-day-Biker“ ein Klacks!
