| 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. |

| My husband and I really enjoyed the tour of Boston. The ride was nice and we got to see a lot of Boston in just a few hours. Highly enjoyable and fun! |

| I have lived in Boston for over 5 years now and have taken my friends and family on many different tours offered in Boston. Urban Adventours bike tour was the most fun of all of these. My out of town guests and I got to see the city from a new perspective. The next day we went and explored many of the neighborhoods that I had not spent much time in before. Our guides were fun, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I look forward to taking other visitors on the tour and to do other bike tours as available. |

| Beautiful way to see the city! We were able to go right up to buildings and neighborhoods we never would have attempted to navigate by car nor would we have been able to cover so much ground on foot. We enjoyed the guides' commentary and felt they were very focused on keeping us safe. |

| The tour guides were friendly, incredibly informative, and made everyone feel comfortable on a bike. There was a family in my tour so the tour guides set our pace a little slower until they felt comfortable. When it started POURING with rain, they gave us the option of continuing or just going back. They even let me have a free tour since ours was so rainy! I will definately bike with these guys the next time I am in Boston! |

| Hands down the very best way to see Boston! I don't think I could have possibly seen the city as good any other way. Our guide never put us in a situation on the streets where I felt unsafe. Seeing the city and viewing the world around you from the handle bars of your bike will change your life! |

| We have a 14 and 16 year old. I am 45 and have not been on a bike in 20 years and my husband, 46, very athletic. We all had fun. The tour guides are young and make it a learning yet fun experience. Covers ALOT of ground. |

| I completely enjoyed Urban Adventours bike tour of Boston. I would highly recommend this tour. I know I saw and learned more than I would have on other tours. The location was easy to get to for a first time visitor and the guides made getting started quick and easy. The tour itself was great. I attended by myself and had the opportunity to enjoy my space as well as interact with the guides and the others on the tour. The biking was relatively easy, I did "feel" it toward the end but it was a good feeling. |

| I would just like to say how friendly the tour guides were. I called because I was a few minutes late. One of the guides stayed back. I arrived and there was a bike ready and waiting to go. In no time at all we caught up to the group for an awesome ride/above ground tour. Thanks for the extra attention! |
