I'm a kimkim staff member and I was on a work trip when I decided to test E-Bike tour.
I really enjoyed my time. In short 2,5 hours, we've seen a lot of Athens. We've done 7 miles on bicycles. The guide was perfect and well-knowledgeable. As an Amsterdammer with bike experience, this was a pretty easy ride, but it might be challenging for a total bike newbie.
Very. good start experience to learn more about Athens.
