WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Arch of Hadrian
The Arch of Hadrian, most commonly known in Greek as Hadrian's Gate, is a monumental gateway resembling – in some respects – a Roman triumphal arch. It spanned an ancient road from the center of Athens, Greece, to the complex of structures on the eastern side of the city that included the Temple of Olympian Zeus.
2. Monastiraki
Lively Monastiraki is known for iconic landmarks including the ruins of Hadrian’s Library, the Ancient Agora and the rebuilt Stoa of Attalos, with a museum exhibiting Athenian artifacts. Monastiraki Flea Market is a jumble of shops selling artisanal soaps, handmade sandals and souvenir T-shirts. The surrounding streets are crammed with traditional tavernas and restaurants, many with Acropolis views. Include 15 minutes stop and tasting a greek Souvlaki
3.
The Panathenaic Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Athens, Greece. One of the main historic attractions of Athens, it is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble.
4. Temple of Olympian Zeus
The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple at the center of the Greek capital Athens. It was dedicated to "Olympian" Zeus, a name originating from his position as head of the Olympian gods.
5. Changing of the Guard Ceremony
The Changing of the Guards in Athens Greece: Every Sunday morning at 11 am, people gather in Syntagma Square to watch the official changing of the guards, the military unit whose members stand proudly in perfect stillness in front of the Hellenic Parliament.
6. Thissio
Thiseio or Thissio (Greek: Θησείο, pronounced [θiˈsio]) is a traditional neighbourhood in the old city of Athens, Greece, northwest of the Acropolis, and surrounded by the archaeological sites of the Agora, Keramikos and Pnyx. The name refers to the Temple of Hephaestus, which was mistakenly known as Thiseion, in reference to Theseus, the mythical king of Athens. The area is famous for its many pedestrian streets, Acropolis views, archaeological sites, churches, synagogues, cafés, open terraces and cultural meeting points.[1][2][3] Thiseio is served by the nearby Thiseio metro station is connected to the other neighbourhoods of the old city of Athens through a network of pedestrian streets passing across the major archaeological sites.
7. Acropolis
The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historical significance, the most famous being the Parthenon. The word acropolis is from the Greek words ἄκρον (akron, "highest point, extremity") and πόλις (polis, "city")
8. National Garden
The National Garden[1][2] (formerly the Royal Garden) (Greek: Εθνικός Κήπος)(it was named Royal Garden until 1974) [3] is a public park of 15.5 hectares (38 acres) in the center of the Greek capital, Athens. It is located between the districts of Kolonaki and Pangrati, directly behind the Greek Parliament building (The Old Palace) and continues to the South to the area where the Zappeion is located, across from the Panathenaiko or Kalimarmaro Olympic Stadium of the 1896 Olympic Games. The Garden also encloses some ancient ruins, column drums and Corinthian capitals of columns, mosaics, and other features. On the Southeast side are the busts of Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first governor of Greece, and of the Philhellene Jean-Gabriel Eynard. On the South side are the busts of the celebrated Greek poets Dionysios Solomos, author of the Greek National Hymn, and Aristotelis Valaoritis.
9. Plaka
Pláka (Greek: Πλάκα) is the old historical neighborhood of Athens, clustered around the northern and eastern slopes of the Acropolis, and incorporating labyrinthine streets and neoclassical architecture. Plaka is built on top of the residential areas of the ancient town of Athens. It is known as the "Neighborhood of the Gods" due to its proximity to the Acropolis and its many archaeological sites
10. National Observatory of Athens
The National Observatory of Athens (NOA; Greek: Εθνικό Αστεροσκοπείο Αθηνών) is a research institute in Athens, Greece. Founded in 1842, it is the oldest research foundation in Greece, as it was the first scientific research institute built after Greece became independent in 1829, and one of the oldest research institutes in Southern Europe
11.
Until the early 1990s, Psyri, one of the oldest quarters of Athens, had an ill reputation, but it has now become one of the most fashionable and trendy choices in the centre of Athens for accommodation, entertainment and food hospitality. The central square of Psyri is called "Heroes square" (πλατεία Ηρώων, plateia Iroon), because the streets leading to it carry names of heroes of the Greek War of Independence (e.g. Karaiskakis, Miaoulis). In the era of the 'old Athens' (namely, during the last quarter of the 19th century), the nickname "plateia of Heroes" was a derisive reference to koutsavakides (κουτσαβάκηδες), who used it as their hangout.

Great tour around Athens! Our tour guide took us to see all the sights and historical spots. We saw the Acropolis from a few spots, never went up to the spot but we were fine with that as the line was incredibly long and there were hundreds of people touring it. We saw many of the ancient spots that it would be difficult to get to if you didn’t have transportation. Athens is big so going from site to site would be next to impossible without a car or bus. Our guide was very knowledgeable and told us all the important facts of each spot. The bikes allowed to go through parks, to the observatory and other areas most tour groups don’t get to see. I highly recommend this one, you won’t be disappointed!

Our tour guide, Labrush (sorry if misspelled) was great! He was very knowledgeable about Greece and all of the areas on the tour. I was with my wife and daughters and we were all new to motorized bikes but he was patient with us until we were all comfortable and then off we went.

We had plenty of time at each stop to observe, ask questions and take pictures. He got us water and snacks along the way and took good care of us. I was bringing up the rear of our group and got lost from them for a short period but he came back for me and all was good.

Overall, I would highly recommend this tour as a great way to see Athens, especially if you’re only here for a short time. It lets you see a lot of the historical sites without having to try and find your way around on your own. Thanks, Labrush!

The toughest part of this experience for us was finding the start point. We walked the nearly two miles from our hotel and it was hot, as we took the 6:00 PM tour, and the location wasn’t well-marked.

Btw, if you enjoy yourself on the tour, make sure to tip your guide well!

The best visit for the city of Athens! Safe for a family of 4 including 2 children of 14 years. We were able to see the most beautiful places in the area with a nice and very interesting guide about the history of the area. Much better than a bus ride and refreshing with the wind brought by the rapid movement of electric bikes! Acropolis, the plaka, the changing of the guard and tasting of sweets and the large park everything was there! I recommend 10/10!

The guide was very patient and understanding with our group. Admittedly, we were challenging. We had a novice rider that was not totally comfortable and he was as patient as could be. It was hot as hell and there were thousands of people everywhere, but we made it though and he smiled the entire time.
We would have liked to see more availability of smaller bikes as we had 4 ladies between 5’ 1” - 5’3” and there weren’t exactly the right bikes for them.
All in all it was very fun.

It was a great tour. Our tour guide, L., drove along great routes and explained everything to us really well. We visited all of the most notable places and were able to avoid the city tour by bus because we were already there. Great!
The bikes are small and you have to get used to them but then they're great. They have a super fast drive and this is exactly what's great in city traffic.

Loved every minute! The electric bikes made the tour effortless, we wizzed around Athens taking in all the sites and more with our guide’s insider knowledge. Seeing the city from many different vantage points. We felt safe, not rushed and saw much more than we would have on foot and in the heat the bike gave us a lovely breeze!

Great activity for the day you arrive. Allows you to easily orientate to the city. 6 pm was perfect timing. I would suggest to the guide to provide the person in the back of the group to have a bell. Thanks for a fun tour!
