| We joined this tour thinking it would give us another view of Boston, outside of the 'tried and true' locations of Boston. This bike tour gave us a true appreciation of what Boston has to offer in the way of little known areas and parks. Make sure you bring comfortable clothing and your camera, as you won't want to miss the areas that this tour hits. |

| I would thoroughly recommend the Boston Bike Tour to anyone. It was really interesting and as well as taking in all the obvious tourist sites took in many of the other neighborhoods a visitor would not normally take in. Our guide was friendly, informative and clearly enjoyed his job. I would recommend the tour to anyone who wishes to see the city, and learn about it, in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere whilst also getting in a bit of exercise. |

| Ed was very interesting. All went very well. Loved seeing the stone houses close to the store and the South End and the North End. Nice to get down to the river. Cylcing seemed like nothing given the many breaks. Hard to believe we did 11 miles.
Ed gave signals - were we supposed to do them so people could see them if they could not always see Ed? Some people had rattling chains - likely the front derailleur rubbing it, but with indexed didn't seem to be adjustable. The bikes were great though and well maintained.
So glad I toured Boston this way! |

| Simply said, when you want to see a new city, get off your fat American arse and foot or bike it! Boston was a beautiful example of a great place that you would never be able to see a city's incredible sites by car. Our guide was knowledgable of not only the history of Boston and its centuries of significance, but had a keen awareness of modern events and cultural happenings in all of the great spots we hit. While we majored on the majors, this was not an in depth search of the Freedom Trail (and was not advertised as such), so I had the privilege of conversing with our guide for further relevant cultural and historical areas to explore. I would give this a hearty recommendation for anyone looking for an active and thourogh exploration of Boston. |

| A friend from Las Vegas and one from South Carolina and I loved our bike tours of Boston, Cambridge and Charlestown. We got a sense of where things are in relation to various sections of Boston...how and where Back Bay was built - amazing. Enjoyed hearing of the important role Boston played in the Revolution.
I fell in love with Boston, my chosen home, all over again! |

| My son and I were visiting colleges in Boston (BU and NEU) and found this tour. It was a great way to see the city up close and personal, as well as get some exercise. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and had great Boston stories. We would definitely take this tour again or another tour offered by AdvenTours. |

| Closer to sights than a bus tour and covers more ground than walking. Excellent orientation of downtown Boston. Trip is not strenous and guide is outstanding. |

| Sam was our tour guide. We were a total of 6 including Sam and everyone had at least an intermediate level of biking. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride and the tour. It was about a 12-mile ride which took us through Brookline, South End, Copley Square, Downtown Boston, the North End, Beacon Hill, the Charles River Esplanade, Fenway Park, Boston Common...oh, what else am I missing. I highly recommend! If you're scared of biking in car traffic, don't be too worried. Sam was able to keep us safe. |
