What you'll do

Enjoy this unique sightseeing tour, be led by a local guide and experience all that Athens has to offer on your city bike tour!

Our city bike tour for groups is the best team building activity in Athens. Cycling is a great environment-friendly outdoor activity that is ideal for sightseeing and enhancing team bonding, as participants come closer to one another while enjoying the city vibes from a different point of view. We can customise a really special half-day activity to cover the needs of your group.

During this bicycle tour you will get to know Athens in an alternative way, cycling by all the major sights of the city, seeing both the ancient and the modern part of Athens, stopping at many great spots for photos and getting useful local tips that will help you make your stay an unforgettable experience!

Our experienced staff and our high quality bikes will provide an absolute highlight of your visit in Athens. Not only our routes are easy, safe and the pace is relaxed, but also, if deemed necessary, extra staff members join in to ensure safety at the highest level. Safety always comes first and, of course, we never miss the fun!

Our journey starts from the biggest pedestrian street of Athens, located a stone’s throw away from the Acropolis, where you will have a short introduction  about the tour’s schedule.

Equipped with an excellent condition bike for a relaxed and enjoyable tour, we will begin the exploration of the city, passing by the new Acropolis Museum. Your tour leader will give you some useful tips about visiting the Acropolis Hill and the Parthenon.

During the tour, we will make stops at all the main highlights of the Historic centre of Athens: the Ancient Greek cemetery (Kerameikos), Thission neighborhood, the Ancient Greek Agora, the Roman Agora and the Athens’ Orthodox Cathedral.

During our 20-minute break, you will have the chance to taste a traditional Greek dessert or a refreshment/coffee (according to the season) and relax for a while.

We will visit the scenic neighbourhood of Plaka and  pass by the local market for souvenirs and small gifts. Next, we will ride through the maze of the National Gardens, the best place to enjoy nice and shady trails.

Then, it’s time to cycle towards the Presidential Mansion and get impressed by the ceremonial unit of the Presidential Guards. The trip through charming Athens will be continued with a short visit to the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games took place, and to Zappeion Hall, a magnificent Neoclassical building.

Our memorable experience will end in front of the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian’s Arch, which is one of the best photo shooting spots in Athens.
