| I found the trip very well organised and on time. The equipment was first rate...I had not been on a bike in 12 years and it was just a few minutes before I was comfortable.
The guide was very familar with the city and was excited about telling us all the little details about the sites we visited..the route was very very interesting and varied ...I had gone to college here 40 years ago but had never appreciated the city from this perspective before
I would take the touir again in a heart beat |

| My girlfriend and I were in Boston for a couple of days and thought it would be a good idea to take a bike tour. As it turns out, it was a GREAT idea! By far the highlight of our trip. We got to see so much of the city and our tour guide, Sam, was fantastic. We were able to check out so much in a relatively short time and got so much insight and history into Boston and American History. I couldn't have asked for a better time and experience. |

| We very much enjoyed the bike tour of Boston. The tour is a great way to see historical sights, impressive architecture and residential areas. Our guide was very informative. He engaged our interest and was able to answer our questions. We found that the bike, equipment etc was good. Although I was apprehensive about travelling along city streets this did not prove to be a threat at all. I would strongly recommend this activity to anyone who can ride a bike. The cost was very reasonable given that the ride lasts 2 1/2 hours.. We certainly found the employees accommodating. They plugged our meter to avoid a parking ticket. |

| My girlfriend and I were visiting Boston on vacation and we had a really great time on the trip. Aside from being a great workout, it was really informative and a great way to get around and see the city. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the city. Thanks again. |

| The tour guide did a very good job with his presentation and leading us through the 12 mile ride through Boston. We enjoyed all we saw and would recommend this to anyone.
That having been said.. If you don't ride regularly ( we don't) and are carrying a few extra pounds (we are) be prepared for the effort you'll need to make. Obviously we made it through the tour but did appreciate the shower afterwards.
We will do this again the next time we come to Boston. We will be riding bikes ( a good thing!) between now and then so that we can enjoy it even more. |

| This tour does a fine job of touring the communities within Boston. Much of the tour is on safe, quiet side streets, which allows participants to see parts of Boston they may otherwise miss. The tour stops, however, at many major sites of interest and the guides provide interesting details and stories. |

| I thoroughly enjoyed the Boston City View Bike Tour I took on Sept. 2. The AdvenTour staff was very nice and helpful when we had a public transportation snafu and had to reschedule. Sam, our tour guide, was knowledgable and enthusiastic.
This is a great tour for the casual cyclist. The pace was manageable, and there were no steep hills. A more serious biker, however, might want more of a challenge. |

| I got a flat tire during my ride and they were very efficient in fixing it. Our guides were great and we had a really good time. |

| This was the first bike tour that I did around Boston. In fact, this was the first bike tour I did ever. It's safe to say that I had no idea what to expect. But the guys at AdvenTours were so nice and very helpful. They helped each of us find a bike that we were comfortable with, supplied us with water bottles and helmets, and were so excited about the tour themselves that I couldn't help but get excited too. The choose great locations to take us to in the city and gave interesting commentary on all the locations we stopped at. With about 20 people in our group they did a good job of keeping everyone together, offering directions, and making sure that everyone could keep up.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a different way to experience Boston. I live and work in the city but I still got so much out of it! And my friend from Tennessee was definitely impressed with my hometown! |

| We had a blast. It was nice to see some sites up close that we just passed by on the trolleys. Much faster than a walking tour with more detail than a trolley tour. They are a top notch crew. Andrew led the tour with Mike working traffic at intersections and Leslie brought up the rear (also doubled as the group's photographer). We learned a lot, saw a lot and generally had a great time. It was our (wife & I) first time in Boston, did lots of tours & would highly recommend UrbanAdventours to anyone. We did pass by their competition while on the tour and were instantly glad we went with UA, safety first & brand new bikes.....hard to beat.
Thanks again,
