Brilliance by Biking - If you want a perfect introduction to Athens, outdoors on a bike, Stavros is your person. Extremely passionate about the city, the people, the country and riding bikes. Really enjoyed sharing time with Stavros riding through the city. In addition, they also have great quality bikes. Would thoroughly recommend. Don't change a thing Stavros & keep going.

Family fun on bikes - We had such a fun time on this bike tour! Athens was not built for bikes, but our guide Stavros took great care to ensure we were safe in the traffic and got to ride the best routes. It definitely added a new dimension to the city, and we got to learn a lot about the various landmarks and their history. We were lucky enough to catch the changing of the guard at the parliament building, which we found fascinating to watch. Highly recommend!

A perfect experience to get to know Athens. - An incredibly friendly local guide. A very nice tour that gives a very good Usual about Athens. It provides balanced information about the cultural attractions related to the Greek history of the country and Athens and an insight into the atmosphere of the neighbourhoods and their development. Highly recommended.
The tour isn't too long, and handling the city with a normal, lighter bike seems easier than with a heavier e-bike.
There are no major obstacles.
A perfect experience, THANK YOU.

Informative and fun - A wonderful guided cycle through the back streets of Athens to discover the historical sites of Athens. Stavros is a knowledgeable guide and I learned a lot about the history of the city and surrounds
My phone's battery failed towards the end of the tour and Stavros allowed me to take photos with his phone which he forwarded to me via email shortly after the tour ended. This tour takes you to historical sites which cannot be reached by Bus Tour Businesses. It is mainly on quiet roads or pathways but any busy road junctions are safely negotiated by Stavros. Thoroughly recommended.

Amazing Introductory Tour of Athens! - My family and I went the first day of our stay in Athens. Our guide was very patient and kind. His passion for history and for people is immediately apparent and lasts throughout the entire tour. He went out of his way to ensure our safety as well! Riding bikes is the ideal way to tour the Athens, and this tour made it so much easier to navigate the city in the following days of our trip. Thank you Flat Tyres!!

Fantastic, covering so many place with great knowledge - This was fantastic, we looked at a lot of options before booking this, Seqways and other electric options but decide to do the normal bike. When booking I struggled to understand why this one had a lot more that it visited, when we started the tour we saw all the other tours and due to the road and amount of tourists they struggle to get around to all the areas we were able to. This really was a highlight of our trip to Greece, our tour guide Stavros has a very in depth knowledge of the areas history and made the experience really enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience
