Important information

Will I be required to wear a mask on tour?

While masks are not required while cycling, we encourage each guest to have one handy should they be required at certain stops. We take care to stay socially distanced throughout the tour, and we sanitize all of our equipment thoroughly.

Where is the meeting point?

This tour meets at 16 Athanasiou Diakou str, 11742 Athens which is just 65 yards (60 meters) away from the metro station Acropolis (lines M2, M3 & tram T3)

What is the cancellation policy?

We’re happy to offer free changes and 100% refund up to 24 hours before tour departure. Failure to cancel a reservation at least 24 hours prior to scheduled departure may result in forfeited travel funds. Fare difference may apply.

What if it's raining on the day of my tour?

Our tours run rain or shine, so we recommend checking the forecast and dressing appropriately. For those who would like to reschedule for another day, we are happy to accommodate provided there is availability. We may wait for up to an hour to start a tour if the weather is especially poor and there are signs of it clearing up. Should we need to cancel a tour last minute due to extreme weather, we will issue a full refund.

Is this a good tour for kids?

Due to the size of our e-bikes, we ask that all participants be at least 12 years old and a minimum height of 4'9" (150cm). If your child is borderline, we encourage you to contact us ahead of time to determine the child's riding ability. We want everyone to have fun and be safe on our tours!

What kind of e-bikes do you have?

Our electric bikes are pedal-assist bicycles, meaning that the rider must first pedal in order for the battery assistance to kick in. These bikes essentially amplify one's ability to pedal. These bikes are different to throttle bikes which can be used without pedaling, and are more similar to mopeds or electric scooters. Our pedal-assist bikes are great for those new to e-bikes as the level of assistance can be changed throughout the tour. Rest assured that we will give a brief tutorial on the bikes before beginning the tour!

Will I need to wear a helmet?

Yes, we ask that all guests on our Athens Electric Bike Tour wear a helmet, and these are provided free of charge.

How long is the tour?

This tour is around 3 hours and covers approximately 5.6 miles/9 kilometers.

Which museums will we enter?

Although we will see most of the main sites of Athens including the Acropolis, Hadrian's Arch, the Roman Agora and more, we will unfortunately not have time to enter any of the monuments. This tour is designed to provide you with the history and basic overview of Athens so that you can return to the sites that interest you most. Our guides are more than happy to give you information on how to get the most out of your stay in beautiful Athens.

What else is included?

We include the bike, helmet (optional), expert local guide, and plenty of information about Athens!
