Give your feet a rest!! - They were super flexible when we arrived. We did have some difficulty finding them. My advice from the cruise port is to take a taxi! The bikes were fun and we saw so much in a short time. After so many walking tours, this was a great alternative.

Best way to see Heraklion tourist spots - Easily the best part of our holiday in Crete. Alex, the owner, was amazing with the kids and us adults and is what makes the tour. Really great with the kids, knowledgeable and very hospitable.
The tour is really fun and most definitely the best way to see the sights in Heraklion.
Thank you Alex for your hospitality and the food ;)

The best of all the best tours - who doesn't book it is his own fault - First I was over half an hour late because googlemaps couldn't handle the address. Meanwhile, ecoBikes asked if I was still coming. They were actually waiting for me and I could still start the tour. Pleasantly surprised I was also that helmets were provided - none were visible on the pictures of the website. At my appointment there were no other participants and so I had my tour guide Maria the old town of Heraklion and the delicious food with drinks all to myself - that was great before. With the temperatures, sights and distance, there is no better way to experience and explore the city. Cooled by the relative wind, the feet didn't smoke at the end of the tour either:-) The biggest effort was the food with the drinks and afterwards the slumps at Alex's office - phew ;-)
I feel sorry for all the other people who made the city tour on foot or with the HopontopBus.

Best Day in Crete! - This trip with Maria was absolutely wonderful....we had so much fun Maria was the perfect tour guide. She made sure were safe and comfortable with ebikes, and kept was engaged with Crete's fascinating history. Our tour was adjusted based on our likes and time restrictions. We explored unbeaten paths and ended our day with Raki and Dakos. MARIA IS THE BEST BOOK THIS TOUR YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

Exactly as described on the tour, if not marginally better. :-) - Touring the old city of Heraklion with an EcoBike is the best way to do it! Alex and Marina are very welcoming and friendly, and Marina took is on the tour as described, but filled us in with a bunch of interesting details.
Great tour, great couple of people.

Brilliant! Would definitely recommend - My husband and I had a fantastic time with Alex guiding us around Heraklion. He was very knowledgeable and we learnt so many interesting facts during our tour. The bikes were easy to ride ( I was slightly apprehensive before arriving) but after a quick practice we were ready to go. We arrived as strangers and left as friends! Anyone considering booking a tour, go for it, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Alex

The whole ROCK - What can I say? All activities I participated in were awesome and the Historic Bike Tour was no different! I booked this activity last minute (same day) and saw that it was a “group” activity; well I traveled solo so I was like cool let’s ride! Shortly after I booked the tour Alex (owner) CALLED me not text but CALLED! The excitement in his voice made me more excited! My drive was 1 hour plus away, got there and was met by Billy and Maria (they’re so freakin awesome)! Maria’s energy matched mine (excitable) and I loved it! Turned out I was the only order for the time slot which was fine with me. Billy and Maria gave me the royal treatment! Maria and Billy were knowledgeable of the city and gave me a true history lesson I’m taking with me. The food, the wine and their experience were phenomenal. When we came back to the office it was getting dark and Alex (owner) was concerned about me driving back and offered me to stay (true Greek friendliness). Highly recommend any and everyone to take the tour! Thanks Alex, Billy & Maria!!
