Great way to tour and see new perspectives - My wife & I (age 65 & 67) have never been on an e-bike and were a bit concerned … but the instructions were clear and the equipment & guides excellent. Our guide Vas was fantastic. Gave very interesting and informative explanations and history and was always interested in questions and our perspectives. He also was very patient with all levels of cycling capabilities and made the tour fun. If you have balance issues and are a bit older, I would suggest you only take the tour in shoulder seasons or times as it can get quite interesting navigating all the pedestrian traffic and cobblestones, but give it a try. You will have a blast and see fantastic perspectives around the Acropolis of Athens that you’ve never seen before!

We saw the sites in a new to us way. We recommend it. - We actually double booked this tour and one of our bookings included transportation from the cruise ship port to the solebike location. Be sure that you book the one with transportation. It made things a lot easier (less stressful), And Sofia sent over an excellent taxi driver named Effie. She's very amiable and a good listener. The bikes were easy to learn and get around on. We did not have experience with an ebike prior to this. My (F 50yo) daughter (18yo) was disappointed we didn't arrange for tickets to go inside and to the top of the Parthenon/Acropolis. We had an extra hour after the bike tour, but we could not get last minute tickets. But we rode our bikes all the way around it and saw many sites that were interesting. the tour guide, Alex, was very informative and helpful. She does a great job of helping you rest in the shade while she talks.

Would do it again :) - Great experience and a cool way to see and explore Athens. Our guide was polite and at the service all time with a lot of patience for everyone. Great tour timing to be in front of the presidential palace when guards are changing and having that "show"

Worth it absolutely - We were traveling with Haris as a guide. It was just great: she knows a lot, speaks extremely good English, is funny and you just feel super informed. Afterwards there were tips for cool pubs and restaurants, so all in all a very round thing.😊👍

Athens on 2 wheels - A great way to see the sights, a different perspective from just a walking tour. Our guide was really helpful and knowledgeable about the city. It also helps having an e-bike.

lame unless you like to spend money for not much - Unnecessarily expensive tour non-compliant descriptive This is a bike tour of the acropolis and not the acropolis Pass your way 200€ for 5 people with at least 45 breaks over 3 hours... Luckily we had a Greek bagel and water... what a luxury! Anyway, suck unless you like to spend money for not much Nice Guide
