    Ride like a local!

    Alex took us on an incredible journey through the most beautiful country side with a glimpse into a family run olive grove and processing plant with delicious tasting plate, and then further up the mountains to an artisanal winery for a delicious wine tasting and tour of the the growing facility! Then back down the mountains with the sun and wind in our hair (under our helmets of course) - it was a perfect day! Thank you Alex!!

    Response from the operator: Emma, thank you for this magical review! Alex loved riding through the Cretan countryside with you! Sharing our family-run olive grove, delicious tasting plates, and artisanal mountain winery is what riding like a local is all about. We’re thrilled you had such a perfect day on our Knossos e-bike wine & olive oil tour. Safe travels, and see you next time! Cheers! 🚲🫒🍷 ecobikegreece.gr team

    E-bike Adventure

    Alex, you were amazing. At first, my husband and I were a bit nervous about riding bikes through the city if Heraklion, but once we started we knew we would be safe. Alex knew his way around and took us on back streets to avoid busy traffic. The olive oil tasting and wine tasting were lovely, really giving us an understanding of the beautiful culture of Crete. What a beautiful way to explore a new city, on a bike instead of inside a car. The bikes were very powerful and we biked the hills with ease. Thank you again!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so glad Alex was able to make you feel safe and comfortable from the very start. We know that navigating a city can seem intimidating, but as you discovered, our routes through the quiet back streets and the power of our e-bikes make exploring the hills of Heraklion a breeze! It’s great that you enjoyed the olive oil and wine tastings—there’s truly no better way to connect with Cretan culture than through its flavors. We hope to see you again for another adventure. Cheers!

    The Bikes are large and...

    The Bikes are large and heavy but have good acceleration. A good portion of the ride was in city traffic so it’s not for the faint of heart. That being said, my 5’0, 64 year old wife was able to handle it, but she is an experienced rider. The tastings were informative and fun and the scenery at higher elevations was wonderful.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your 4-star rating! We are glad you enjoyed the informative tastings and the breathtaking scenery from the higher elevations. Regarding the bikes, they are indeed sturdy and powerful e-bikes designed to handle the Cretan hills with ease. While navigating city traffic requires focus, we always prioritize safety and use specific routes to make the transition as smooth as possible. We are so impressed by your wife—it’s wonderful to hear that she handled the tour so well! It goes to show that with a bit of experience, our tour is a fantastic way to see the sights. We hope to see you again!

    Ecobike-Knossos Palace-Wine tasting-Olive oil tasting: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Heraklion.

    How much does Ecobike-Knossos Palace-Wine tasting-Olive oil tasting cost?

    +

    Prices start at $211 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Heraklion usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Ecobike-Knossos Palace-Wine tasting-Olive oil tasting take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Heraklion is not rushed.

    Is Ecobike-Knossos Palace-Wine tasting-Olive oil tasting worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Heraklion, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ecobike-Knossos Palace-Wine tasting-Olive oil tasting?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Ecobike-Knossos Palace-Wine tasting-Olive oil tasting suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ecobike-Knossos Palace-Wine tasting-Olive oil tasting?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Heraklion can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Heraklion and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ecobike-Knossos Palace-Wine tasting-Olive oil tasting start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Heraklion within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Heraklion?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Heraklion experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Knossos - Zeus Cave - Old Traditional Villages-Olive Oil Factory, Knossos & Lasithi Plateau: Zeus Cave, Villages, Olive Oil Tour, Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Heraklion?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Heraklion?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Ecobike-Knossos Palace-Wine tasting-Olive oil tasting?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Winery & Wine tasting; Snacks; Bicycle use; and Olive oil factory & olive oil tasting. Not included: Knossos Palace Guided tour (optional) - NOT INCLUDED; and Knossos Palace entry tickets NOT included (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Ecobike-Knossos Palace-Wine tasting-Olive oil tasting include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 62 listed pickup locations in and around Heraklion. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Ecobike-Knossos Palace-Wine tasting-Olive oil tasting offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ecobike-Knossos Palace-Wine tasting-Olive oil tasting?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Ecobike-Knossos Palace-Wine tasting-Olive oil tasting if the weather is bad?
