| We are so glad we took this tour of Boston. We had never been there before and wanted to see as much of it as we could. We wish we had done this as one of the first things because afterward, we began to recognize different sites around the city. The staff was great...our tour guide was EXCELLENT. He set a perfect pace and was very knowledgeable about Boston. He provided an entertaining tour. The guide who brought up the rear was incredibly helpful in stopping traffic so we could all get through. I would highly recommend this for just about anyone over the age of 10 or so. The biking was not difficult at all...only one hill! Thanks Urban Adventours! |

| We took the bicycle tour this past weekend. We thought it was a wonderful way to see the city. As locals, we were also pleased to learn things we hadn't known and to see some "behind the scenes" aspects of the city. The tour was well organized and our guide, Ed was great! We will definitely be recommending this tour to locals and our friends from out of town as well. It was well worth the cost. Thank you! |

| We are a family of 4, our children are ages 14 and 9. We completely enjoyed the ride through Boston. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the sites, history and architecture of the city. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone! We rode on a Sunday morning, so there was minimal traffic on the city streets which was nice for the kids who are not used to ride a bike on city streets. |

| The City View bike tour was by far the best part of our trip to Boston. We wanted to get to see different parts of the city, but cringed at the idea of riding around on one of those Duck Tour busses. The tour guide (Ed) was extremely knowledgable about the city and took us to places little-known by tourists. Definiteily worth every single penny. We will be participating in other tours offered by Urban Adventours on our next visit for sure |

| We took our two teenagers on the Boston tour-everyone loved it! It was a favorite for all of us! The guide was great, as was the pace. I recommend this for every first timer to Boston. |

| This was a great way to see the major neighborhoods of the city as well as some of the most important sites. The staff was friendly and helpful, and our tour guide knew his material well. I wouldn't recommend this bike tour for families with childeren under 12 or 13 as it is a decent workout. |

| I'm a reasonably healthy 52 year-old father from Kentucky with 16 year-old son I was introducing to Boston. He wasn't getting very engaged in the city. Plus, it had rained heavily day before, messing up our vacation. Also meant lots of people rescheduled to our 2-5 p.m. tour the following day (total 23). [I wish the tour had been smaller so we could have heard more from the leader, but that was my only knock on this.]
Adventours had three guides keeping watch on us and holding traffic at intersections. It was completely safe (I hadn't been on a bike for 20 years?), not too strenuous (there was a 10 year-old girl and her 60+ grandmother, and they did fine), and a fantastic way to get around a reasonably compact city and see lots of neighborhoods and landmarks, and learn a little about architecture, history, etc.
I could not have been more pleased. Best $100 we spent on the whole vacation. |
