“We are a family of four with two teenage girls.. we all loved our day with Michalis who was a wonderful guide and is a fountain of knowledge about Crete. There is something special for everyone on this trip. The bikes are great fun with minimal exertion required!! We have wonderful memories.. thank you so much for everything Michalis. 👏👏”
Half-day e-bike and MTB tour from Panormos in Crete, cycling forest trails near Margarites and Eleftherna with patient guidance.
“This was an ebike tour on mostly paved road through some beautiful countryside. Our guide chose an easier route for us, due to our lack of knowledge regarding the operation of the bikes. The ride could have been more of the challenging mountain bike experience if we had not needed to learn how to use the bikes first. Manos was very kind and patient with our group. The bikes and equipment were in good shape. It was a very fun day with a stop for a beverage at a local taverna.”
Ride an e-bike through Chania’s top sights, stop at a knife factory, and sample local olive oil, cheese, and honey on a small-group tour.
“It was an awesome day! Saw lots of sites. Went to lunch at a nice place. We got to take detours so we could visit other places. Guide was very accommodating and funny. I’ve never been on an e-bike, but it was easy to use. Five stars!!!”
Guided e-bike ride from Rethymno to Halevi Monastery, Mili Gorge, Chromonastiri villages, and Roussospiti viewpoints with a soft drink.
“We really enjoyed the tour. Yannis our guide was informative, very friendly & made sure we were all ok cycling during the trip. We enjoyed the monastery, the gorge & especially enjoyed stopping at a local taverna for drinks & lovely food. It was nice to chat to Yannis about life in Crete. We were a group of 5 adults ages ranged from 25 to 63 & were joined by a lovely French lady. Would definitely recommend the tour & Yannis”
E-bike day trip from Rethymno to Arkadi Monastery with village climbs, big Mediterranean views, and a full Cretan taverna lunch.

Guided eBike tour from Rethymno to Mili Gorge and three villages, plus Old Town alleys, included bike gear, and refreshments.
“It was a beautiful ride with wonderous stops at the gorge and small villages. We also loved the stop at the church where we lite candles. Yannis is a great guide with insights, positive energy and a focus on safety. Highly recommend this tour!”
A 5-hour eco-friendly e-bike ride from Chania to Agia Lake, with countryside views, birdlife, and a small-group local guide for $70.
“we hebben gefietst tussen de avocado's sinaasappels en andere bomen. Enkele mooie uitzichten gezien. Het museum van de waterkrachtcentrale was gesloten maar een vriendelijke dame gaf ons informatie, (zat niet in de tocht). Het meer was bijna droog en niet echt spectaculair. Eerder naar huis ivm met slechte weer”
Four-hour Chania ebike ride to Lake Agias and a riverfront Cretan snack at Drakiana, with easy coastal cycling back to town.
“Great tour. Nikkos was a wonderful guide. Saw things in the area we would not have seen otherwise. Really enjoyable.”
E-bike tour of Heraklion with sea views, Venetian walls, and museum stops, plus wine tastings and Cretan bites like bugatsa.
“We had an excellent time seeing Heraklion with Alex. We love a bike tour because it keeps our four kids engaged while we are able to learn about a city. We ended up having the tour to ourselves as a family of six and Alex was very accomodating and engaging for our family's pace and interests. We learned about the city, but also just enjoyed out time. Basic bike skills are all that are required for an easy and enjoyable afternoon. Highly recommend.”
E-bike through Crete villages near Heraklion, then taste 4-5 local wines with cheese, olives, and rusks.
“We had such a great time on this E-bike adventure. We were on a cruise and the meeting point is a short cab ride away (you would need a cab to get anywhere either way). The bikes are easy to use and fun to ride. This is a great way to see the beauty of Crete with an experienced and informative guide. He is so helpful and makes sure everyone is having fun. The ride ends at a winery located in a local village. It is a beautiful setting where you sample local made wine, spirits and olives/olive oil. It is a perfect day and good value for your money.…”
Guided e-bike ride from Ammoudara with hilltop villages, olive groves, and church-and-cave stops near Heraklion for about 3 hours.
“It was a wonderful and scenic ride on country roads past olive groves and vineyards, overlooking the beautiful Cretan landscape, up to a lovely hilltop village. Our guide, Aris, did a great job of preparing us to ride and giving us suggestions along the way for shifting gears as we approached the more challenging parts of the excursion.”
