| I had seen Urban Aventours on a Chronicle show last spring and my husband and I commented on how fun that would be. I surprised him with 2 tickets on his birthday on a beautiful September day. We had such a good time. Traffic was not an issue and the ride was not strenuous. Pedestrians sometimes got in the way of course since so many people were in the city. The biggest obstacle was the size of the group (17) because it was hard to manuever at times. But we both had a great time and I highly recommend it for both locals and visitors. We are from the South Shore of Boston and had been in Boston alot but we still went places and saw things that were new. And all 3 of the guides were knowledgable, friendly, and helpful. |

| Took the Urban Adventour based on ratings at TripAdvisor. We were the only ones on our particular tour. The guide was nice and informative. We could only hear about half of what was said due to traffic noise, guide talking while facing front, .... I imagine it would be much worse with a group of people because they cannot all be close. We did stop a few times to talk which was good. I think a portable mike and speaker fixed to the back of the guides bike would be an easy fix. Will not do this again. Probably take the Duck tour next time we go. |

| the tour was better than expected. the guide was very easy going with a sense of humour while he described the best of Boston.
We have been on bike tours before, and we highly recommend this one. |

| I am a avid bicyclist, however, this trip is geared to almost anyone. The leaders kept the pace to the group. I saw more of Boston than I could have walking and saw different parts than I would have in a bus tour. The leaders were great and knew their history of the town. Very fun...very informal...a great value. |

| Highly recommend these tours as a way to see a city. Guides were very informative, very professional, and very likeable! We actually rented the bikes for the remaining part of the day (rental discounted) and all of the next day to explore portions of the city that we had been introduced to on our tour. |

| From the Harbor to Fenway our two and a half bike took in most of Boston. Our guide was very informative. This was the perfect way to become immersed in Boston. |

| I was a bit nervous about biking for 2 1/2 hours since it had been awhile since I'd ridden a bike. We were visiting Boston with our two grown children--daughter & her husband, son & his girlfriend. We all enjoyed the tour immensely. The tour guides were very attentive and very kind when I fell behind a few times. Our safety on the roads was of great importance to them. They were very knowledgable and we had a great time learning all about Boston. It's a great way to start a stay there so you have a good overview. Highly recommend this tour! |

| The tour was exactly as we had hoped. It allowed us to see the city, enjoy its architecture, physical features and neighborhoods—and get a little exercise. The guides were great, the tour was well planned and the experience was everything we had hoped it would be. Boston, we were told, is not a terribly bike-friendly city. But that is changing and this group are both cheerleaders for the city and for biking in Boston. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a slightly different perspective than one can get on foot or by car. |
