5.0 We had the VERY BEST e bike experience with George. From start to finish it was great. Hotel pick up and drop off ✅ The island story telling was animated and interesting ✅ George worked the trip to be within our fitness level (almost on par with his 😜) ✅ Showed us much of the farming culture along with a trip to a cheese maker (with tasters). ✅ Overall we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND ⭐

5.0 George took us all over the north side of the island. He was very knowledgeable about the island, it's history and legends. We had a fabulous time and he is a wonderful guide!

5.0 Great experience of Ios culture and history by e-bike Thank you George for this amazing and entertaining e-bike tour. This was a perfect combination of sports with culture and history of Ios. We particularly enjoyed the cheese tasting and Eleni‘s hospitality at the Diaseli cheesery. Keep it up! Katrin & Juerg

5.0 We had a wonderful e-bike adventure with George! He was very friendly, and had so much knowledge of the area and places we rode to. He provided water and snacks along the way. A beautiful day with beautiful views and scenery. Would highly recommend this tour!

5.0 Very nice day with a lot pf information about historic and local traditions as well as good entertainment by George. Very very much enjoyed that day!!!

5.0 Amazing tour, great guide! The tour was great! Easily worth the money and time spent. George went above and beyond with the service!
The walk was great, we were shown a variety of archaeological, historical and cultural sites that helped you understand Ios more. George introduced us to some locals as well to give a bit more depth to what he was showing us.
If you’re thinking of booking this I would 100% recommend it! You’ll go away knowing more about the island and the people of Ios.

5.0 Great idea to learn about the island and its history. George, besides being a great expert on the island and its history, accompanied us with his friendliness and his inevitable snacks! The visit and tasting at the dairy is not to be missed!

5.0 Just book it! My friends and I all agreed that this was the most worthwhile thing we’ve ever done on a vacation. Our guide, George, was not only knowledgeable about the history of the island but also very funny and personable. I learned so much about Ios. The tour lasted 4-5 hours with a 1500 ft elevation gain in 81 degree weather. George came prepared with lots of water for everyone as well as dried figs as a snack, grown from his own trees. He also had powdered electrolytes to make sure no one got dehydrated. The cheesery had amazing cheese and wine as well as a fun tour with explanation of the history of the cheesery and how it’s changed throughout the generations.
You should have good cardiovascular health to do this activity but don’t need to be an expert on a bike at all the electric component makes the trek up the mountain doable.

5.0 Beautiful, moderately challenging e-bike ride. George is a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge about Ios and Greece overall. We had an excellent time on the bike ride and highly recommend him and his ride!

5.0 Experience Ios through an e-bike tour It was nice to get off the beach and discover more of the interior with George!
Passionate about Ios he took us on a discovery of the island that helped us to appreciate its history and future.
The GIANT brand e-bikes are first rate and powerful. Requiring a low amount of energy to move through the hills.
George is a writer and has already written a book with plans on a second one. He is extremely knowledgeable and informative.
Dont be shy go for a ride!

5.0 Great bikes, great scenery, and great historical knowledge. Really enjoyed our e-bike tour with George. The bikes were great, very easy to use with ample power and battery to make the climbs on the route a breeze. Scenery was beautiful throughout, but it was George’s local knowledge and story telling that made the trip so enjoyable. Great way to see some of the island and to learn some of the island’s fascinating history.

5.0 Amazing and beautiful Ios My wife and I had an amazing time with George. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the island and it's culture. The views are stunning and well worth the bike ride to see them

5.0 George is the best! I did Tour no.5 with George and it was everything I wanted. He offered to pick me up in the morning where he made me an espresso and let me try the breadsticks he got from the local bakery.
The hike we completed was absolutely amazing, where George spoke about the history, the culture and everything in between. He introduced me to some of the local elders as well as his friends on the way and even got to try some of his homegrown figs (which I got to pick!)
He is an amazing and passionate tour guide and person and I thoroughly enjoyed my hike with him!

5.0 An Ios Gem If you are on Ios this tour is an excellent way to explore the surrounding landscape, all whilst being in the presence of the local guide George who has an intimate knowledge of the island and is an amazing host. The electric bikes make this tour a really enjoyable way to get around, and if you are fit and healthy, you will have zero problems. The cheese tasting was a great addition I highly recomend when you cycle by. Overall, getting to see the amazing landscape and scenery is a breathtaking experience.

5.0 Of the 3 bike tours I took all over Greece, this one was definitely the best one. George is super friendly and very knowledgeable and will answer any questions you have about the locations he takes you to -he was the perfect guide! He personalizes the experience to make sure you leave with beautiful memories of Ios.

5.0 Our guide George is very knowledgeable in history and in island lore. "Coffee first, safety second". He is very attentive to traffic and other safety concerns. He spends time adjusting your bike, etc. Our trip to Homers tomb was so worth the time and money. You should do this tour if only to understand Homer.

5.0 Tour in the country of Ios The most beautiful way to get to know the country of Ios. Thank you very much, we had a very nice and different time. Keep up the special work you are doing 🧿🇬🇷

5.0 Wonderful hike in Ios A discovery hike, magnificent landscapes, a cheese tasting for refueling, George is a passionate and very friendly guide, here is an alternative to absolutely discover.

5.0 Memorable trek with George What a great excursion (10km) we had with George!! We greatly appreciated his perfect knowledge of the terrain, his great knowledge of the history of the Island of Ios, his great generosity and his personalized service. Not all guides do their job, like George, with as much passion...I recommend this tour without hesitation.

5.0 Ios sland trekking tour This tour was such an amazing experience. I went with my husband to Greece, we are from New York and wanted to know more about Ios. George was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us many things about the island that we wouldn't have known otherwise. The views on this tour was spectacular and we were able to see the sunset as well. We definitely recommend him.

5.0 Unique in Ios! Very happy with my tour! We have been to Ios lighthouse celebrating August last full moon. Highly recommend Giorgos for his professionalism and keen attitude. I am impressed about how adaptable was on the group needs, we had two small children on a possible challenging terrain but with his preperation (previously marking the path with luminous signs), experience Giorgos guided us with safety, leading to a very nice experience, happy to go with him to more routes!

5.0 A special experience - highly recommended! Firstly, I’d like to say thank you to George for being a brilliant tour guide! His rich knowledge of the island was fascinating and provided us with historical and cultural context for our further exploration of the island. The tour is a must, as George points out several things that many tourists may miss.
The experience was intimate, with myself and my partner being the only ones on the tour. George himself is very personable and we really appreciated learning about his personal connection to the island. We immediately felt at ease and we left the tour feeling as though we had just spent some time with a local of Ios. He is easy to reach via WhatsApp before the tour so we had no trouble finding him.
We were also given recommendations of food and restaurants on the island, which proved to be delicious. George recommended historical sites across the island, providing some information about them as you could see them from afar. Be sure to check out Homer’s tomb, which George is writing an academic book about! He also has a website if you’re interested in checking that out.
We would highly recommend Ios Island Trekking Tours!
P.s, please let us know when you release your book, we would love to read it!

5.0 Wonderful hiking tour George’s tour was well thought out and he stopped to take pictures of our family so that my family and I could be in the photos together. We enjoyed his stories and history of the island very much. I would come back and take a different tour of his in order to experience other aspects of Ios.
