We loved our circular cycle tour - it was the best thing we did in Cyprus. Pambos is a great guide. Stunning views, quiet roads, a beautiful waterfall, a medieval bridge in the forest, a quick stop for a beer and all so easy on his brand new e-bikes. A fabulous 3 hours. Can’t recommend it enough.

This was a great tour. The guide, Pambos, was really nice and communicative from booking through to completion. The e-bikes make it a very easy ride; I have some lower back problems after an injury but was completely fine on the bike. Covid did affect things as the restaurant for lunch was closed, but Pambos refunded money for lunch and offered cancellation and full refund if preferred. There was a little less riding time than expected - probably about 2-2.5 hours all told then an hour or so of stops, refreshments and sightseeing. If you're after a leisurely ride (as opposed to full-on mountain biking) and want to escape the towns, cities and beaches I'd really recommend this.

Pambos was a great guide and it's a really interesting route! The bikes are fantastic and make what would be a challenging ride really easy.

As 2 around-60-year-olds, we are not regular cyclists and yet we enjoyed this experience immensely!! Pambos, our lovely guide, led us on forest tracks, often following a beautiful babbling river. We stopped at a little mountain village in the middle of nowhere for refreshments (usually lunch, but the restaurant was shut due to covid!). Be prepared to get a sore behind, if you're also not regular cyclists, but well worth it! Cycling through Pathos forest is a delightful experience, not to be missed, with some beautiful scenery and fantastic views along the way. Pambos ensured that we were comfortable and confident on the bikes at all times, which were of excellent quality. Thanks Pambos for a great experience!

An amazing way to get away from the noisy town, the everyday routine and get to a peacful environment in nature exploring the picturesque villages, the vineyard roads and trails. Riding this kind of e-mountain bike it's amazing because you can ride effortlessly since it gives you a push when necessary. You don't have to be a cyclist athlete to enjoy the experience. Thank you "Recharged e-mountain bike rentals & tours" for the wonderful experience. I really got "recharged"! I strongly recommend it!!!

This tour was one of the most amazing experiences i had in Cyprus (and im a local)! I have booked the tour with a friend as we wanted to do something new and different that involved nature, and it was such a pleasnt surprise! The cycling trail was leading to Milikouri village throught the forest beside the river, the scenery was soo beautifull and peacefull that we didn't want it to end! The village was quite and picturesque with no tourists but just the locals, they have welcomed us to a nice family tavern and the food was delicious. Pambos (the guide) was amazing from the beginning till the end. He explained how to use the ebikes and was a great (and fun) companion throught the whole journey. What surprised me the most is how easy it was riding the e-bikes through the trail especially the hills! Overall i highly recomend this tour for everyone that loves nature and adventure!
