    Loved the tour. The guides were so friendly, informative and did an excellent job. My only issue was that there were too many people on the tour. It should have been two groups instead of one. Overall a great morning!

    Nice bicycle ride. Magnificent views. Friendly guides. The weather was perfect so that made it more enjoyable. Note: Didn’t give a 5/5 because I never got the photos they said they were going to email 😐

    Friendly company with nice bikes located in the seaport area. Our guide was very kind but we were hoping to learn more historical information about Boston, rather than current info about the neighborhood we were in at the time. Pace was a little fast at times and group had to work to keep up with the guide. There were definitely hills we did not expect! Overall a good experience, hot in the summer time, but enjoyable.
