| 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,

| 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. |
