Program details

Rattle round ancient Athens with this exhilarating hour-long bike tour and you're guaranteed to be ahead of the pack. Keep fit and cut your carbon emissions while you explore even the tiniest backstreets at twice the speed of a walking tour. Your knowledgeable guide will steer you straight with fascinating facts and amusing anecdotes about the centuries of history beneath your wheels.

Enjoy the wind in your hair as you scoot round traffic jams and avoid busy roads, heading straight for quieter pedestrianised areas. Our stable four-wheeled ‘quadricycles’ comfortably seat two to four people, and even come with a sun awning to keep you cool. And thanks to the flat marble streets and shady trees there’s no slogging up hills in the heat of the day. The tour circles the awe-inspiring Acropolis on the most beautiful streets in Athens. Breeze past the stunning new Acropolis Museum, home to some of the nation’s most important archaeological finds. Get the best view of the Parthenon from Mars Hill, where Paul the Apostle once spoke. See the elegant Temple of Hephaestus, dating back to 449 BC but still in pristine condition. Cruise through the trendy streets of Thiseio and Plaka, past colourful antique shops, kitsch flea markets and restaurants serving delicious Greek food.

There’s still time to visit the Agora, the marketplace at the heart of the city that once drew merchants, thieves, politicians and healers from throughout the ancient world. Or cross the road to visit the Roman Library of Hadrian, rising above the newly-renovated Monastiraki Square. Jump in the saddle with the whole family and get a breath of fresh air with a bike tour of awesome Athens.
