    This was a great experience! The whole experience was chill from start to finish. Bob and the two guides in training were so nice, full of lots of details and insights. We did this the day after we walked the Freedom Trail and saw all kinds of other neighborhoods and had the best experience! Highly recommend!

    Highly recommend but add in a bit more info and a break!
    Sheena_M, Mar 2024
    Highly recommend this cycle tour for anyone that visits Boston. We got to see neighbourhoods which we otherwise wouldn’t have visited. A lot of it was on cycle lanes so it felt relatively safe. There are a couple of hills, but mainly flat going. I’ve given it 4 stars because the guides, though pleasant and friendly, didn’t impart much information and other tours like this in other cities build in a coffee break at a nice pub or cafe. This would have been welcome.
    Must do!

    We had a wonderful experience biking through Boston.. highly recommended.. our tour guide Austin was very knowledgeable and knew his way around the city.
    Great tour!
    Christine_T, Oct 2023
    This is a fantastic tour that gives you a great overview of the Boston area. I had opted for the e-bike but it isn’t really necessary as the only hill to bike is to Beacon Hill. Everything else is flat. That said, I am glad I had an e-bike as there are a ton of stop lights where I was glad I could take off (after a full stop) fast and without any effort. Bring a sweater or jacket because it does get cold by the water front (depending on the season of course).
    Great ride
    steve_z, Oct 2023
    Great ride. Gary and Ken did a good job directing traffic for the bikers and historical facts about Bodton

    My best friend and I have done bike tours around the country and have 4 more scheduled at every port we stop at on our cruise. The tour guides in Boston were very informative and KNOW the history of their city! We were impressed! The tour was fun, challenging and we learned a lot about what you don’t read in the history books. Thank you and we will return again!
    Loved it!
    McCall_J, Oct 2023
    This was so fun and took me to places in Boston that no other tours went. Totally worth the sore bum.

    Biking in Boston
    Orlando_N, Oct 2023
    If you're driving on your own, DO NOT park on the street. Look for a public parking spot(it's cheaper than a ticket). Tour guide was informative but we rode through some very crowded areas. Renting an E-bike was an overkill. A regular bike would've been perfect. We paid 2x the amount for the e-bike(waste). It was an experience and we were lucky have had a beautiful sunny day for the ride.
    A fun and healthy way to see Boston
    Alan_P, Oct 2023
    A great and healthy way to see Boston. Both our guides were friendly and knowledgeable and we’re attentive to our needs. I was injured prior to our trip and was afraid I might have to cancel the tour. Instead, I upgraded to an E bike making it very easy to ride and easy on my healing hip.
    Great way to tour Boston whilst keeping fit!
    Rene_S, Sep 2023
    Excellent tour! The three guides were exceptional: welcoming, friendly and they all clearly love their jobs. Safety was paramount too. We didn’t set off until we all had cycle helmets, until the bike seats were adjusted perfectly or until we felt comfortable with our bicycles. A brief useful ‘lesson’ in road etiquette was given too. The tour guide’s knowledge and love of Boston was really inspirational. Overall a top tour and highly recommended. A bonus: it’s a great way to keep fit too!
    Best tour of Boston by a long mile

    The houses and...
    Efraim_S, Sep 2023
    The houses and environment in South end and beacon hill . The struggle of the local people to prevent the government from making a highway
    Fun way to see and experience Boston
    Albert_G, Sep 2023
    Listening to our guides sharing Boston people, places and thing. Seeing new places in Boston, Beacon Hill, Fenway, Charles river, long bike paths covering ground quickly instead of walking. Wonderful way to see the city or as a beginner package to riding in Boston.
    Great Bike Adventure
    Gail_H, Aug 2023

    Fantastic tour of Boston
    Royer_A, Aug 2023
    Great experience : wonderful dynamic guides, a large group very well managed, and the historical information given was across time not just old stories. Great for all ages. Also, the guides faces us many suggestions on where to eat, what to visit to make our stay in Boston fantastic. The bikes were very good and well adjusted for each person.
    Fun, informative, entertaining and efficient way to see Boston!
    Ryan_J, Jul 2023
    Gary and Lee are amongst the best tour guides we’ve ever had. Nice bikes with easy to follow guides who possess a wealth of knowledge about the city! They do. Great job of keeping everyone safe and together as a group.
