| I've lived in Boston for many years - and have even biked the city a lot. However, Andrew was confident that even tried and true Bostonians would come away knowing something new - and he was right!
I would definitely recommend this tour to out-of-towners and visitors. It's a fun and hands-on way to get to see the best of the City in an environmentally conscious way. However, I would also suggest to local folks who live around here that it is worth their time to view the city from a different perspective. |

| My boyfriend and I went on this bike tour with a group of alumni and parents associated with my college; the group was made up of people of various ages, athletic ability, comfort-levels with city bike riding, etc. and we all had a BLAST! Andrew, the founder and owner of AdvenTours is really knowledgeable, but the tour is not boring-- he mixes history with activity and that makes for a great afternoon. I've lived in Boston a few years now, and he taught me some things that I didn't know before, plus he helped us get in shape while he did it. I'd recommend this for a variety of groups and individuals-- I think a lot of people can enjoy the services they have to offer. |

| Our family (two adults and two teenagers) took this bike tour on the first day we arrived in Boston. Our tour guide, Andrew, was great. Very enthusiastic and informative. Definitely a great way to start our trip to Boston, as we were able to get an idea of the layout of the city and go back to visit parts of it that interested us! |

| With the stops to point out the sights, and the ability to get to places buses can't, and the greater distance over walking that bikes can go, it's a great way to be introduced to a lot of the high spots |

| This was the perfect way to see Boston and a highlight of our trip!
Andrew (our tour guide) was friendly, funny and extremely informative. My wife and I are both beginer cyclists and Andrew managed to take us through a great tour of Boston, touching on all of the main sightseeing stops as well as local spots that we would never have seen without his guidance.
I would highly recommend seeing Boston by Bike and would urge you to specifically use this company as they proved to be professional, fun and well worth the money!
Can’t say enough good things about them…..keep up the great work!

I enthusiastically recommend Adventours Bike Tour of Boston! However, I recognize that not everyone is favored with the fabulous weather I had in Boston, nor is everyone comfortable with taking up the whole lane as a cyclist. Thus, I would caveat my recommendation for sunny weather and tourists who can keep their brains about them on a bicycle. Why did I love it so much?
1. It was more "gritty" than a Duck Tour (and complementary to it, too). You can stop and photograph the sites you were whisked by on the amphibious tour... and you get a very real appreciation for cobbled streets, Boston hills, and Boston drivers! It was a great antidote to conference food, hotel rooms and workshop panels!
2. It was personalized. Mine was perhaps an extreme case because I happened to be the only one who signed up for a Monday morning tour... but the founder and guide, Andrew, came to fetch me when I got lost on the way to his shop, cheerily answered all of my random questions (what is that blooming yellow shrub?), and provided humorous & historical trivia along the way.
3. It was well-organized, with full water bottles, snacks, and even a place to stash my camera (since I didn't have a backpack).
4. Seeing a city by bicycle is more of an active experience (rather than pedantic and passive) compared to a vehicle tour, but you can cover more area than you could on a walking tour. The perfect compromise!

| This was a fantastic personal way to see the City. It was a great morning out, which the whole family throughly enjoyed. Andrew professionally organised the route so that it was even easy for my inexperienced 8 year old to join in. We saw so much of the city whilst having the history and sights etc explained to us as we went. We also saw plenty of great views and sights that you would only see by bike.
The bikes and helmets were all adjusted for comfort for the adults and kids, it was easy.
THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE SHOULD MISS OUT ON THIS BOSTON EXPERIENCE IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST DO !!!!!!!!! |

| This is really the best way to see Boston in a short time frame, especially if you'd like to get some exercise in. I was surprised at how much we covered in the 2 or 2 1/2 hour time frame, even with me lagging behind and walking up some hills. Our guide was very knowledgeable and his main concern was doing what the group wanted. He even found us a great italian restaurant and allowed us extra time to sit for a meal.
I do think though that there should have been some type of a discount for children. For a family of 4, it was a little too pricey. |
