| We had a great guide who was very friendly and accomidating to anything extra that we wanted to see. He answered all of our questions as well as filling us in on interesting Boston History. "Don't shoot until you can see the whites of their eyse." The biking wasn't too rigorous, but he took us at a good pace. Good for friends, families and kids all the same. A deffinate should do in Boston. Way better than the Duck Tours.
We loved it!

| The tour was a lot of fun. Provided a good review of locations in the inner city. If you are looking for a detailed analysis of historical sights then this may not be for you, however, if you like a bit of exercise and a sick of a tour bus then go for it! |

| I am a brand new local having recently moved here. I figured a tour would be the best way to get to know my newly adopted city. Auto tours seem too impersonal and walking tours just don't cover enough area, so I opted for a bike tour.
After doing some Google searches, Urban Adventours seemed to be the best bet. Andrew was prompt, easily accessibly by phone, and very friendly. He is very concientious about limiting the group size and will hire in additional tour guides if bookings for a particular tour get too large. He provides the bikes, helmets, and water bottles. I liked the fact that he promptly replaced my bike when I noticed a small squeak in the gears.
The best thing about Andrew is that he really customizes the tour to his clients. That means he asks what we are interested in looking at and why (eg, I was new to the city and wanted to know how to get around, others were out of area tourists) then tailored his route and descriptions to match. For example, he pointed out the MBTA routes at major destinations so I could easily return or when he showed me top restaurants in the area that I should try out. Andrew also found out that we all had an open schedule so, since he didn't have another booking that day, he extended our trip to show us around even more!
Andrew is a genuinely nice person. He is active in the community and works hard to make his bike tours the very best in Boston. I highly recommend him! |

| My friend and I only had a a short time to see Boston, and wanted an overview of the city, so we could focus our trip for the remainder of our stay. This bike ride was perfect to get the flavor of the city in only two 1/2 hours. Our guide Andrew was personable and fun. Another great thing about it was burning some calories off before we returned that day to the North End to sample some Cannoli's at Mikes Pastry Shop! Yummy! |
