Will my guide be a licensed tour guide?

All of our guides are locals who love their city. They’ve undergone training to ensure everyone’s safety while on tour. Historical accuracy and tour itinerary are equally important parts of all of our tours. Although your tour leader will not be a licensed guide by the city of Athens, he/she remains an authority on the subjects discussed on tour. Our goal is to provide a broad overview of the city while keeping everything fun and engaging. Our guides love to discuss ancient Greece just as much as they want to tell you about their favorite restaurant and neighborhood to visit!

Am I required to wear a mask on tour?

No mask is required while cycling, but we do take care to socially distance ourselves when stopped, and masks may be required in some situations.

What kind of cycling level is required?

Our route is designed for the average cyclist. We cycle at a leisurely pace, we avoid difficult up-hills, and we make plenty of short stops along the way.

What is the weather policy?

Tours run in all weather conditions, rain or shine, so we advise guests to check the forecast and dress appropriately. We reserve the right to postpone the start time of a tour for up to 60 minutes. In the event that the tour is cancelled due to extreme weather, will offer a full refund.

Is this tour appropriate for children?

While we will make exceptions for experienced young cyclists, we ask that all participants are over 12 years old. Feel free to contact us if you’d like to discuss whether or not this might be a good tour for your child.

Is the cost of food & drink included?

On this tour, we do not have any stops scheduled to purchase food or drink. After the tour we are happy to recommend some great food/drink options.

Do I have to wear a helmet?

Helmets are not required but are available free of charge.

Do we go inside the museums and monuments?

We unfortunately do not have time on this tour to enter any of the monuments or museums that we’ll see. Your guide will give you plenty of helpful hints to go back and dive a bit deeper into the areas of the city that interest you most following the tour.

Can I store my luggage at your shop during the tour?
