I had a wonderful experience using the Electric Tuk Tuk to see and explore the back streets and historic sites of Athens. Akis, our guide, picked us up directly from the hotel and paid attention to the smallest of details. He provided blankets to keep us warm and ensured that we experienced the best local cuisine like Gelato and Souvlaki. He gracouisly stopped to allow us to take as many photos as we liked. I would highly recommend all who visit Athens to use the Electric Tuk Tuk.

This tour was incredible, you get to see and learn so much in just 3 hours. Our tour guide was the most knowledgeable and most friendly person we have met in Greece. I 1000% recommend this tour and will refer him to everyone I know.
