Highlights
Peddle through Athens on a top-quality bicycle
Get close to some of Athens’ most popular attractions
Navigate the city with an English-speaking guide
Enjoy views of the sunset over Athens
What to expect
Meet your English-speaking guide in central Athens in the afternoon (departure changes depending on the sunset timing). After gearing up with a bike and helmet, set out on an easy route that includes just a few hills. Peddle at a gentle pace through the city as you pass by its highlights.
The route is flexible, but you likely see ancient ruins like Keramikos Cemetery while also getting a feel for modern Greek life. Get closer to attractions that you could in a car. When necessary, hop off your bike and walk it through pedestrian-only zones.
At the conclusion of your tour, enjoy the view of the sunset over the city.

Perfect way to see Athens
We arrived on Saturday and went on a Sunset bike tour on Monday night. It was a great experience and we were well looked after. I would recommend doing this trip, or the equivalent daytime trip, as early as you can in your visit to Athens. It really gives you a good idea of where everything is and some good suggestions for places to visit or restaurants to go to.

Best bike tour!!
Oct 2020 • Couples
We had the best time on our bike tour!! Our guide was really knowledgeable about Athens but also took us to some secret spots for the best views. He gave us lots of great tips on where to go and places to eat too. Having done a lot of great bike tours across Europe the thing that stood out for us was the quality of the bikes and the helmets looked to be brand new. Worth every penny!

A must if you want to see Athens!!!!!
Our tour guide Dimitris was the best! The bike tour is so much fun and not difficult at all. We had arrived in Athens the day before and once we had been on this tour we felt like we knew the place! A very fun and informational tour, it was so well planned that we never cycled near any traffic. Dimitris was so warm and funny and made sure everyone on the tour was comfortable. I can not recommend this enough, just book it and you will soon feel like a local. We were taught a great Greek saying “hurry up slowly” . Thankyou so much Dimitris for such a great day.

The tour on bikes was amazing. Our tour guide showed us some hidden spots of Athens, and even invited us to taste traditional ice cream with mastika (was really good). As well he gave us some tips on what to do in Athens. The bikes was in a very good condition and easy to ride them. I will recommend to take this bike tour especially on the sunset 🌇.

My wife and I spent four days in Athens and toured the city by bicycle with Athens by bike. Our experience was incredible! It was just the two of us along with our amazing tour guide -- Kostas -- who is very knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating. He made the bike tour engaging and memorable and helped us learn about Athens' rich history and about the city and metropolis in general. We HIGHLY recommend Athens by bike and hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
