Excellent bike tour of Portsmouth and surrounding areas. Tour guide was amazing and made the tour very fun. I recommend 100%.

Would recommend! We did the 2-2.5 hr islands and harbor tour. It was fun and informative. Our tour guide Marcus was a wealth of information and had that classic tour guide humor that keeps you entertained. It was a wonderfully pleasant way to spend the morning and explore Portsmouth.

We had a fabulous time with Dawn. She has a wealth of knowledge on area history, tailored the ride to our abilities and gave us great tips for exploring more of the city. Bikes are new and perfectly adjusted to each rider. Highly recommend!

It was such a great experience, from the guide(s) Dawn and Tammy, learning about the history of Portsmouth and surrounding communities we could have spent all day with them. Tammy in particular because she was our actual "ride guide". It was not over strenuous for a 70 and 60 year old who have not been on a bike in 40+ years! If we ever felt "whipped" Tammy was great and planned a few minute rest stop with additional area information. The day was sunny, cool (50's) and a Friday morning (not much traffic for the few roads we did have to travel on). Only thing I might add would be if there was a tour "option" for our guide to take & join us for lunch at a local restaurant - because more info with local flavor would be a stp above!

My friend and I ended up needing something to do in Portsmouth. We luckily stumbled upon a bike tour and had the best time! Our guide, Tammy, was AMAZING! So knowledgeable and fun! I definitely want to take another tour when I’m back in town. This as an absolute must do!

The entire bike ride was comfortably paced and not rushed, including stopping to get water and a bathroom break. It was scenic from start to finish and very relaxing. Marcus was laid back and passionate regarding the area and history of Portsmouth and New Castle, New Hampshire. Looking over the Piscataqua River to Maine was cool. I will be back for another tour and found a beautiful, scenic park off the beaten path to spend the day at picnicking and watching the boats sail by. Rich in history and beauty!

Loved everything but especially the island. Beautiful day. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history with great stories to share!

The tour was excellent. This was my first time on a bicycle with gears, and it was my first time riding a bike in almost 20 years. Our tour guide, Paul, was energetic and knowledgeable. The scenery was beautiful and the hills were not too bad! I would highly recommend the tour.

This tour is a great way to get a taste of what Portsmouth has to offer. From the beautiful coastal views to the stunning architecture, this ride has something for everyone. It's a great way to whet your appetite to return and explore more. Marcus, our guide, was entertaining and informative. The bikes were comfortable and easy to shift.
