| Only four of us...two couples - all experienced cyclists. We were treated with three guides: Garrett, Baylor, and Ben, who we understood was a guide in training. They each were very knowledgeable about Boston in different ways. A very interesting ride in that Boston is so compact, that the entire city is covered within about twelve miles. A very comfortable pace; anyone would enjoy it. Skip the duck tours and the trolleys! This is the way to see Boston! We went back later and retraced our favorite parts on foot. |

| It would be hard to imagine a better introduction to the major sights in Boston-it really is a stunning city. In over 3.5 hours Ben and Greg showed my wife and I the major sights as well as an introduction to areas tourists may miss if exploring by themselves. The guides, bikes and ride (including the weather) were perfect. Highest recommendation. |

| This is a very well organized tour; from arriving in the morning and seeing all the bikes ready for the group, getting adjustments on the bike to fine tune the fit, getting around and very experienced guides that kept the group together, safe and provided many good stories and descriptions about Boston.
I came with a friend, but overall we were a group of 15 and had 3 guides. The main guide leading the group, another one always going last to ensure no one got lost or had any problems, and the third one riding up and down with the group to make sure everyone's questions were answered and that no one had any problems.
Our total time was close to 3 hours and there was never any rush to finish fast or leave any stop before everyone was ready.
I highly recommend it to anyone who has basic riding skills, even though the guides explained all the basics of shifting as if we were clueless.
The bikes were Specialized Globe Vienna bikes in excellent conditions and very comfortable to ride.
After the ride is over, head over to Legal Sea Food for a great lunch and from there, to Quincy Market, all within walking distance. |

| We really enjoyed the bike tour of Boston. The tour guides were very friendly and made the tour enjoyable. We are from a small town so we don't do any city biking but we quickly got over our nerves and the tour leaders gave great instructions and we always felt safe. We did the tour on a Sunday morning, which we highly recommend, because traffic was light and the city was quieter than usual. It was definitely the best way to get a great view of Boston |

| What a great monring and a great way to see the city. The tour guide was personable and knowledgable, and the route showed many, many interesting places in the Boston area, and gave me a lot of ideas about where to continue my explorations. The pace was leisurely - we had a runner pass us as we rode along the Charles - with a lot of stops to discuss the area in which we were cycling. The tour lasted three hours, and should be easily within the capabilities of anyone reasonably comfortable on a bicycle. |

| Easy to come by metro. Boston is flat, so the ride is easy and the car drivers are gentle with cyclists. Organisation well done. Good bikes for every one. History facts helps to understand the evolution of the city. With a digital reflex in my neck, I was able to picture what I wanted because of the frequent stops. One suggestion: give us a map that shows where we go. That would have helped us to locate places to come back for visiting more deeply.
For french canadians (Quebec), it was a little bit difficult to follow informations and history because the guide was talking to fast.
Our first trip in Boston: beautiful downtown with opening flowers in the trees and on the grass.
Many thanks to Andrew and his personnel: every one takes care and is able to listen.

| The guide was excellent and the ride very enjoyable. Fairly light on the information, it's really about the bike ride. If you'd like to spend an active afternoon outdoors and see some of the city, this is a great, fun way to do it. |
