| This is absolutely the best thing we did while we were in Boston. We had a great day. We had lots of tour guides go out with us and it was much safer than I originally thought it would be. Great fun! |

| 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. |

| My dad and I were in Boston for our first trip to Fenway and had an extra day to see the city. We didn't know what we wanted to see and found this bike tour online. WOW! What a find. The tour guides were very enthusiastic and informative. We couldn't believe how much of the city we covered in the 2.5 hour ride we took. We felt like we saw the whole city...several neighborhoods, downtown, Boston Commons, Boston Garden, riverside views, Fenway Park, the BigDig, Beacon Hill, and a tricked out 7-Eleven right by John Kerry's house to name just a few.
The ride wasn't too strenuous and the guides let everyone go at their own pace. We had a couple on our ride that didn't make it up Beacon Hill, but no problem, they just walked their bikes up and the guides didn't rush anyone at any point. In all, the ride was fairly flat with some very slight climbs and well placed downhills. The bikes and helmets were very comfortable and well maintained.
If you're looking to see Boston and learn about the city as well, why not get a little excercise while on your vacation? This ride is not just for bikers, anyone can do it that remembers how to ride a bike.
A++ Just do it. |

| Never done a bike tour before, but after this we'd definitely do it again in a new city. This was a great way to get an overview of a much larger area than we would have done just walking around. Much more personal than riding around in one of those motorized tour-boxes. |

| I went with my parents (60 yrs old) and my wife and I. Both athletic and very unathletic builds. We all loved it. Exercise and entertainment and factual all at once. Lived in boston my whole life, but was fun to see and hear things I never knew. Best way to tour boston for those who don't like to read displays at museums or sit boringly on a trolley listening to someone speak. |

Excellent tour! Would do it again in a heartbeat

| I can see why this is the Number One rated Thing To Do on TripAdvisor's website!! I had a great time! We stopped at many sites, and had the privilege of biking on a closed highway (due to the Fourth of July fireworks). Greg was our main guide with assistance of two other guides. They were all very friendly and knowledgeable. We went along at a good pace, there was plenty of water, and the sites were interesting. If I ever come back to Boston, I will take a tour with Urban Adventours again! Take this tour; you won't regret it! |

| Enjoyable way to see Boston, especially for cyclists accustomed to riding on the road...but they do a great job leading so this is not a prereq.
Good preliminary activity to do if you're going to see more or only thing to do if you only have a bit of time in Boston. |

| Haven't been on a bike since I was 10, so I was a little nervous.
I'm not gonna lie, a couple sections weren't super easy for me, but I kept up just fine.
The tour was amazing, fun and I really feel like I got to see the entire city...
The tour guides had loads of interesting tidbits and I felt really watched out for our safety in traffic.
Really the best time I've had doing a tourist activity! |
