★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 14 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $809

5-hour Heraklion e-bike tour with sea views, Venetian walls, and Greek food and wine tastings guided by Alex.

“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.”
