| This is the best way to see the different areas of Boston and our tour guide (Ed) was friendly and knowledgeable. The ride itself was casual and relatively easy except for a brief uphill climb that was a little challanging. I was curious about riding on the busy city streets but I never felt that we were ever in any "dangerous" situations. I would defintely recommend this to anyone who wants to make a "green" trip around Boston's best sites. |

| I have lived in Boston for 3 years and am constantly trying to show friends and family the City when they visit. Previously I've done duck tours, the museums, freedom trail tours, graveyard tours, and even tried to do my own tour with the family. Now it is all in one bike ride!!
I had more fun on this tour than ever before and learned more about every area of the city in 2 1/2 hours than all my previous tours combined. Ed and all the guides went above and beyond to make sure we were safe, staying together, having fun, and seeing some of the best views in Boston.
I recommend this tour for anyone, of any age, and any experience. You will see more of Boston than many who live here! |

| This was our first trip to Boston and did not really have too much time to research the city and explore, so Urban Adventours was a great way to see some of the sights in a short amount of time. Navigating Boston streets is not easy, so being on a bike allows you to cut through the traffic as well as avoid looking for parking which is also not that easy. Since the city is rich in history, having a guide allows you to understand why things are the way they are.
The pace is very light which would allow most people to keep up and enjoy it. The only thing is that if you are not used to sitting on a bike seat for more than an hour expect to get a sore bum! It was quite enjoyable. The guides were very helpful and very friendly and extremely knowledgeable; a group of people who really enjoy what they do. This is not something that you can do in every city, so if the opportunity arises, it is definately more enjoyable than sitting on a bus. |

| We recently took the bike tour and loved it. I was a bit apprehensive about riding in traffic, but the guides definitely know what they're doing and are very skilled navigating around town. We have been to Boston several times and have never taken any type of tour, other than self-guided walking. This was a great way to see lots of neighborhoods in a short time. The next day we visited a couple of the areas we had seen on the bike tour. The guides are very entertaining and knowledgeable about Boston and really made this an enjoyable experience for us. We plan on doing the tour again in the future with our two kids. Highly recommend this! |

| My girlfriend and I were a little tentative as we had not biked in a while. We had no trouble keeping up even going up Beacon Hill!!! The pace of the tour was perfect with appropriately spaced and interesting stops. We saw and got great insights into parts of the city we may have never known about. Boston is very safe to bike through. Very friendly policemen even stopped traffic for us. Just as we were tired and ready to get off the bikes, the tour was ended. Absolutely a great way to start a visit to Boston!!!! |

| We spent few days in Boston together with my 16y old daughter. For her it was the best adventure we did in Boston.
Fore me it was look on Boston from different angle of view, not as pedestrian or driver but as cycle rider.
Highly recommended! |

| My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on this trip. We did our tour the first morning after our arrival in Boston and it was a great way to get a feel for the city right at the beginning of our trip. I recommend this to anyone. |

| This tour was excellent! We came to Boston for the first time and we got a really got a good impression of the city. As there are quite a few smaller streets (especially in the older part of the city) you get to go places a tour bus could could probably never take you. Our guide was great too, he told us a lot about everything we saw on the tour. |
