Did the night biking tour and it was great and beautiful with the stars and the night sky. The guides were fantastic and gave us information about the tour as we went along. My only minor complaint is that the seatbelt was too tight but I don’t really think that’s something you can change anyways.
Unfortunately, there was also this grandpa who joined our tour and decided it was prime time to terrorize the tour guides because he was scared of the night sky and because we made a couple of stops to learn about history. My suggestion is, if you don’t feel comfortable being in a completely safe place at night, then don’t go on the tour and ruin everyone else’s experience! Even the people in his own party were getting annoyed at him, I felt really bad for whoever his family members were cuz I would have been super embarrassed to be associated with him. The tour guides handled it with much more class than I would if I was in their position, props to them! The tour was also very well organized and very safe, I didn’t feel scared or unsafe at any point. Overall, it was a great experience and despite the senile grandpa who was complaining the entire time, it was super cool to experience and I would love to...
Read moreMy husband and I are from Australia and visited Athens for our honeymoon. It was our last night and we wanted to do something romantic and so we booked the night rail bike tour.
Edward was our tour guide, with the help of his sister. They were both so sweet, calm and fun! The tour itself was approximately 3 hours and time flew by so quickly because before we knew it, it was 12am.
Given that it is really dark, it’s hard to take photos but honestly, that was the best part. Just cycling with my husband and taking everything in!
Edward was extremely insightful, helpful & experienced. We were so stressed about how we would get back to Athens because Megara is a small town and there is no public transport at that time of night, however, Edward contacted a taxi for us and arrived within 5 minutes of us finishing the tour. It was so seamless and reassuring.
If you’re looking for something to do whilst visiting Greece, I highly highly recommend doing this activity.
Wear comfortable clothes, sports shoes, water & some snacks and be on your merry way because it’s well worth it.
It sells out way in advance so make...
Read moreWe took a night ride from 9 pm to 12 am and it was the most amazing experience I ever had. Was a starry night with a cool summer breeze, no to minimum light and sound pollution. Most part of the track is runs parallel to the coast giving beautiful views of the sea.
The whole experience was comfortable, we were fortunate to have the founder himself as the guide and he was supper humble and helpful. While we covered 15 km + It wasn’t stressful for me. I am close to 50 years old and don’t regularly exercise. If you are like me don’t worry, you will be okay.
The only recommendation I would give is, the seat is hard plastic, you might benefit from having a small jacket or pillow as a cushion.
Also the place is close to the airport and taxis are too expensive, so do it the first thing you land and then go to Athens else you might end up spending a couple hundred Euros just on transportation.
It was this 3 hours of calming experience that kick started an amazing 10 day trip around Greece. Would definitely recommend , especially the...
