GR Cycling offers fantastic biking tours for people of all levels and customizes accordingly. This small, local company enhanced our entire experience in Greece and we will be sure to ride with them when we return. I did two tours with GR Cycling, one on Aegina with older family members and one by myself with one of their amazing guides to Sounion. For the group Aegina tour, we had several people who were not comfortable biking and a van was arranged for them while the cyclers road with a guide to the designated stopping points. This was perfect since the entire group wanted to tour Aegina Island but not everyone biked and not everyone was capable of biking far and could jump in the van whenever they were tired of riding. This was a fantastic way to tour this small Island and I would do it again! The trip with just the guide to Sounion was fantastic and we could ride at our leisure. The route was fun and offered fantastic view. There was even time to stop at a beach. When we return to Greece, we will try one of GR Cycling's multi day biking adventures!

Back in September of 2024 GR cycling provided us the best service. They went above and beyond to help us as we finished our Bike tour in Athens. They made getting home very simple as they packed and delivered our bikes to the airport. It was an enormous relief to have the end of the trip be so streamlined. We are getting ready to plan our next tour and immediately thought of them! Definitely recommend!

Amazing vacation boating and cycling around the Ionian islands of Greece. Alex and his superb team used all their energy and experience to give us a great time. There was plenty of gorgeous cycling on quiet roads all routes carefully mapped out for us with Sag wagon support if we needed it. I chose to ride an E bike for a little more relaxation but for the more energetic and those wanting a challenge there was plenty of that. Nearly all routes started with a good hill climb. Great retal bikes all well maintained and easy to ride. The Boats were fun to live on and our crew on board were amazing and did everything to make our stay with them comfortable. Food and Drink were great and lots of it. Lastly the beaches and the warm water we jumped into off the boat was fabulous. So blue and clear. I would go again in a heart beat. I also want to give a shout out to Alex office staff who were so helpful at the booking and start of our trip answering all our questions and concerns in a very timely fashion. They booked us taxi from the airport and our hotels in Athens. All the small details that make planning a vacation easier.Elina Zacharioudaki was the lady who we corresponded with and she was amazing Thank you Team GR Cycling
