| I really enjoyed the bike tour. It is by far the best way to see Boston (as opposed to walking or going on a tour bus). Plus, you get a workout at the same time. The cost was completely worth it as the trip was 3 hours and covered roughly 14 miles. The tour guides took care of everything (bike, helmet, water). The bikes were in great shape. The tour guide Mike was very very knowledgeable about the city and spoke about it with great passion. It was a relaxed tour with a laid back group and I really enjoyed my time. I highly highly recommend it. In fact, my brother is coming to Boston in a month and I intend on taking him on the tour. |

| Tim, Sam, and Garrett lead the group of 20 in this tour with great enthusiasm and knowledge, while making us feel safe and have fun. I recommend this tour as a first day's activity as it gives such a great overview of Boston. I felt so much more acclimated and comfortable getting around after biking some of the streets.
This tour is so much better than the trolley and duck boat tours, too, because you're able to go into much smaller streets and neighborhoods, which is a wonderful way to get a real feel for a city.
The guides played up the difficulty of the only hill on the tour, Beacon Hill, but it's not bad at all. And if you're not able to blast up the hill quickly, you can take your time, and even get off and push if you must - it's not a race.
Do this tour! |

| This tour is a must do if you're new to the city, or want to see it from a different perspective. My family really enjoyed it! It is long, but not very physically challenging in case that is a concern of yours. Again, the tour was awesome and I highly recommend it. |

| My husband and I are very active people who love to explore new places. This tour single handedly made our trip to Boston our favorite vacation we've ever taken. The bikes made it possible to enjoy the fresh air, cover large distances, and see a wide range of sites in a relatively short time.
I have to admit that before the tour began I was nervous about my biking proficiency because I hadn't been on one in years--much less in city traffic! Fortunately, the guides were so friendly and helpful they made us feel at ease and safe at all times. It has only been three days since our tour and I have already recommended it to several people.
Thank you Urban AdvenTours! |

| The weather was a bit chilly and overcast, but that made for an easy ride (ie. no sweating!) The ride itself was a lot of fun, while not too challenging for the average person. Only a couple short uphill climbs, as Beantown is fairly flat (mostly landfill I learned). Recommend this to anyone who wants to see the city without going on a standard bus / duck tour. |

| Andrew was fun, and very knowledgeable regarding the History, and the bike paths in Boston.
We are locals and we were surprised at how many beautiful places we didn't know existed!! Beautiful New Parks, and as many times we have gone to the concerts on the Esplannade, we never saw the Fabulous Sculpture of Arthur Fiedler!
We had so much fun,we have spread the news to more friends that are coming into town, in the Fall!!
Thank You for a Great Adventure in Beautiful Boston! |

| i was a little apprehensive as i was on my own and it was the wrong side of the road for me. but i loved it, It was the best way to see the city. The lads were great and really looked like they enjoyed their job which made you feel like you were not a burden. The cycling was enjoyable and you could go at your own pace. I would recommend it to anyone and think everyone should see Boston by Bike.
Thank you |

| The city tour is a MUST DO for anyone interested in seeing Boston! Forget the buses and "duck" tours, by bike is by far the best way. Andrew and his staff allow the casual bicyclist to see and hear the history and insider information of this great city. I learned more in their 3 hour tour than I knew about the city on 5 previous visits. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! |

| * Got to see several places in Boston that I had not seen in spite of living in the area for around 4 years.
* The weather was awesome and it added to the fun.
* Could have been a little more interactive.
* Probably can allow for another 30 minutes of free-style riding for people who would not get a chance to get on the bike again for a long time. |
