| My husband and I were in Boston for work without our children and had a day to be tourists. This tour was an excellent way to see a lot of the beautiful city, learn interesting information about its history, and get some exercise at the same time. We are both 40ish and at different fitness levels (i.e., I'm out of shape), and the others signed up were of all levels and ages too. The guides made sure everyone was safe, happy, and comfortable. The bikes & helmets were in pristine condition, and we were given a frozen water bottle that provided ice cold water throughout the tour. We were extremely happy we took the tour based upon its #1 ranking on TripAdvisor. I would recommend the 10 am tour so you can spend the rest of the day going back to a sight you enjoyed seeing earlier. FYI, there are coupon codes for 10$ off each tour available online - just Google it and you should find them (I think they were in a pdf for family discounts). |

| We enjoyed seeing Boston from 2 guides who really knew the historical highlights. It was good fun to see Boston from the "inside". A nice, easy ride around town and many of the neighborhoods. Great bikes! |

| Best way to see Boston. Covered tons of areas Fenway Park, Charles River Esplanade, North End, Downtown). It was a good preview of things I wanted to go back to and explore more. Was travelling on my own for business so it was a great way to experience Boston. Highly recommend it. The biking was a leisurely pace and not challenging. |

| Thank you so much for the tour. There were 2 families from Colorado visting, 4 adults and 4 children ages 12-17. The trip through the city was better than we expected and we all fully recommend this tour to anyone visiting Boston. Today is my birthday, and as a result of the tour, I received a Specialized bicycle similar to the one used on the tour.
Thanks again for a wonderful time!!! |

| I was very impressed with the bike tour. I took one in Paris, and loved that "by bike" is a great way to see a city. This tour did not disappoint!! There was a great selection of comfort bike sizes to choose from, and the organizers made sure that we were comfortable with our bikes before leaving the shop. We were also provided with water bottles to drink from while on the ride. The ride was an easy pace, and the times we were riding in traffic, our guide (Patrick) made sure we were all safe and together. I am an experienced rider, but my 14 year old was not. He did great! We made several stops, where Patrick would describe the sights in detail, and was able to answer our questions. Surprisingly, Boston seems to be a very bike friendly city, so I felt at ease riding around the city. It was amazing how much ground we covered! Don't do the Duck or Trolley Tours -- go green and go by bike! |

Nice way to see Boston off the beaten path.

| We enjoyed the low keyed physical activity on very nice biking equipment. We appreciated the trivia and history shared at different stops. We were glad that we did this and would highly recommend this as another way to see Boston off the beaten path. |
