Really enjoyed our bike ride throughout Boston. The three guides were fantastic; they kept it very enjoyable and we enjoyed seeing and riding to the sites. Highly recommend for families!

Harish_R

We had a wonderful experience biking through Boston.. highly recommended.. our tour guide Austin was very knowledgeable and knew his way around the city.

Christine_T

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. Gary and Ken did a good job directing traffic for the bikers and historical facts about Bodton

Lisa_L

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!

alanpE2864PS

Great bikes, great guides, and a great tour of the city of Boston. I can tell you the ride is not difficult because I was concerned as I had recently fractured my hip and was healing. 98% of the rider is flat and over 50% is completely away from traffic. Do it! You will enjoy it.

MichellleB_12

Bob, Gary, and Ken made this tour so much fun! Loved the little bits of information and humor, with some beautiful sites!

McCall_J

This was so fun and took me to places in Boston that no other tours went. Totally worth the sore bum.

Jan_M

Informative and very helpful when choosing our bikes. Also provided perfect weather. Would recommend this tour.

Orlando_N

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.
