I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Boston, or anyone looking to get to know the city better. The guides are friendly, informative and make great use of their local knowledge to show you parts of Boston away from the regular tourist trail. While some fitness is required (the tour usually lasts at least a couple of hours) you certainly don't need to be a serious rider to get the most out of the tour - the emphasis is very much on seeing Boston from a different perspective and enjoying the ride. |

We loved our City View bike tour - it gave us an opportunity to learn more about Boston and see parts we would not have seen otherwise, and it was great exercise! The tour guides were so positive and helpful - we would gladly go on a different tour with the same company again next time we are in Boston! |

A friend recommended Urban Adventours so a group of us signed up for a bike tour of Boston. A great way to see the tourist hotspots/neighborhoods of Boston while getting some history (and some exercise too). Guides (Mike, Sam and Garrett) were great, knowledgeable and entertaining as well. |

This was a good tour where you ride a bike through the city. Having to ride a bike rather than take a bus, gives you the sense that you are a part of the city. You are able to take a less traveled path that most tourists don't see. My friend lived in the city for a year and had an enjoyable time. |

I really enjoyed the bike tour. It is by far the best way to see Boston (as opposed to walking or going on a tour bus). Plus, you get a workout at the same time. The cost was completely worth it as the trip was 3 hours and covered roughly 14 miles. The tour guides took care of everything (bike, helmet, water). The bikes were in great shape. The tour guide Mike was very very knowledgeable about the city and spoke about it with great passion. It was a relaxed tour with a laid back group and I really enjoyed my time. I highly highly recommend it. In fact, my brother is coming to Boston in a month and I intend on taking him on the tour. |

Tim, Sam, and Garrett lead the group of 20 in this tour with great enthusiasm and knowledge, while making us feel safe and have fun. I recommend this tour as a first day's activity as it gives such a great overview of Boston. I felt so much more acclimated and comfortable getting around after biking some of the streets.
This tour is so much better than the trolley and duck boat tours, too, because you're able to go into much smaller streets and neighborhoods, which is a wonderful way to get a real feel for a city.
The guides played up the difficulty of the only hill on the tour, Beacon Hill, but it's not bad at all. And if you're not able to blast up the hill quickly, you can take your time, and even get off and push if you must - it's not a race.
Do this tour! |

This tour is a must do if you're new to the city, or want to see it from a different perspective. My family really enjoyed it! It is long, but not very physically challenging in case that is a concern of yours. Again, the tour was awesome and I highly recommend it. |

My husband and I are very active people who love to explore new places. This tour single handedly made our trip to Boston our favorite vacation we've ever taken. The bikes made it possible to enjoy the fresh air, cover large distances, and see a wide range of sites in a relatively short time.
I have to admit that before the tour began I was nervous about my biking proficiency because I hadn't been on one in years--much less in city traffic! Fortunately, the guides were so friendly and helpful they made us feel at ease and safe at all times. It has only been three days since our tour and I have already recommended it to several people.
Thank you Urban AdvenTours! |
