Austin was very knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable and easy! We saw many things in Cambridge we would have never known about.
Harvard Trip
Martin_H, Oct 2024
Learning about Harvard and MIT was great, tour guide was friendly and had really great info on his tour, it is just a shame the weather was not so good, cold and wet is not exactly the best way to spend time on a bike
Tour experience great, Viator not

It was a great tour but Viator charged too much overhead! I wanted to tip the guides more but Viator made it too expensive to justify that…maybe just “over” charge for one or two people, but not 3!
WICKED AWESOME!!! 😀

Bob and Charles were awesome.
Very kind, friendly, informative and full of life and knowledge….even better that they’re locals. We had four peeps from England and I had to smile thinking of the British accent vs the Boston accent as we all chatted.
I ♥️ Boston!!
Thank you for a great day! I’ll spread the good word!!
Great tour of Cambridge!

Charles was great. Very knowledgeable and kind. I hadn't rode a bike in decades...and it went smoother than I thought. Great tour.
Cambridge in the rain.

Pell was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgable about history and Cambridge. He ensured we were safe and had fun. It was a little cold and it rained for part of our ride. It was fun and Pell made sure we were comfortable with the bikes and how much we rode. It was great!. All the stars!!!
I Ride Boston

Thank you for sharing your tour experience and recommendation with us Danell! We are glad that you could join us and look forward to a next time!
They stole our money and we could not make the tour
Laura_T, Jun 2022
It was supposed yo be a child friendly tour but it was not. They did not have bikes that fit my son height so we could not make the tour, however they did not refund us the money. Basically they stole US$272 from us. They new it was not kid friendly but did not let us know at the registration process. They acted in bad faith. I won’t recomend this company.
Fabulous way to see the sites of Cambridge and Charles River!

We loved our bike tour of Cambridge along the Charles River! Pell was a great guide, experienced, super personable, and easily approachable for questions. Great to learn some more history of Boston harbor area, see both MIT and Harvard campuses, and the quaint town of Cambridge. Would definitely recommend this tour for families with teenagers!

Thanks for joining us! Uncle Greg is one of our longest serving guides. I hope he took one of his famous peace sign selfies!

History on two wheels

Best learning experience on two wheels. Great time and introduction to the areas around Boston. I would definitely do other tours when I come back to Boston
