Athens e-bike tour with street food: what to expect
Book this Athens e-bike tour with street food and see the ancient and modern city in one easy ride. Over 3 hours 15 minutes, a tour leader guides your group through the centre on mid-motor electric bikes, so the hills and the heat feel far gentler than on a regular bike or on foot. You hear the commentary through a receiver and earbuds as you ride, stop for photos at the big sights and refuel with a classic souvlaki, a gyros pita wrap, along the way.
It is a great first-day tour if you want to get your bearings quickly. You cover far more ground than a walking tour, linking neighbourhoods that would otherwise take a full day to explore.

Good to know before you book
The electric assist makes the ride suitable for most reasonably active adults, even if you do not cycle often, but you should be comfortable riding a bike in city traffic. Always follow your tour leader and wear your helmet throughout. The tour is not wheelchair accessible. You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before the start time and get a full refund.
