What people say about us!
Great e-bike tour! - Highly recommend biking with Chani E-bike tours!
Makis was great - informative and helpful. We really liked the eco tour, biking through the olive trees and orange groves... read more to small villages.
The short break for food was in a beautiful setting with a delicious light snack.
We love ebiking in Europe and have been fortunate to have biked in a number of counties. This was the first e-bike tour we’ve done where we wore ear pieces. It was great as Mikas could talk and give us info while we were biking places. We really enjoyed this bike tour and will definitely book with Chania e-bike tours the next time we are in Chania!

Kind&knowledgeable guide for an unforgettable experience - We had a wonderful experience doing the eco-long tour with our guide, Nikos.
First, in terms of organization: we could communicate easily with the tour organizer (Mikas), both... read more over email and over WhatsApp on the day of the tour. Additionally, for a small surcharge, they were extremely forthcoming about organizing the tour as a tour for only me and my partner, which I asked for as a birthday surprise for him. (Note that we did the tour somewhat off-season and during the week, and were flexible with regard to the exact day to do the tour on). While on the tour, one of the bikes had a small malfunction, which Nikos immediately met with giving me his bike in exchange for the malfunctioning one, and then, he also managed to get it fixed at one of the stops on the way. In spite of this, the tour never felt rushed, yet we still managed to compete it in the allotted time frame, for which we are very grateful.
Second, with regard to the tour route and contents: we went off the beaten path, mostly on roads that seem to be mostly used by locals, and saw indeed a lot of the local agriculture and historical monuments that are a little more hidden. Nikos is a great storyteller who manages to be engaging without being overwhelming, and who is clearly very knowledgeable about the local history and the stories of what his family and others had to put up with along time, swirling in the whirlpool of history. On top of it, we found out a lot of things about the local flora and fauna, and had a chance to observe waterfowl from a respectful distance. He was also highly respectful and considerate in general, and seems to have a good understanding of societal dynamics in Crete and Greece. Nikos also took us for a delicious snack in a beautiful garden café on the way, and generally made us feel very welcome. We really appreciated his genuinely kind nature and his wealth of knowledge that we could access anytime by asking questions.
To sum up, we had exactly the experience I had hoped for as a birthday present: a relaxed, little bit sporty afternoon where we could soak up lots of knowledge from a kind local and male some very pleasant memories. Many thanks to Nikos and Mikas for making this possible, and we wish you all the best for the future!

Loved it! - We had such a great time with E-bike Tours! It was so fun to explore and learn about beautiful Crete from a local. The ride as beautiful (snd being on... read more an ebike made it so much easier and more enjoyable) and the snack was delicious. We got to see areas we wouldn’t have found otherwise. Nico was great guide, would highly recommend this experience!
