| This is one of our favorite ways to tour a city as you don't tire so easily when touring historic sites. We were very pleased with the Adventour guides and employees. They were fun and very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we travelled through. My husband and I took the tour with our 2 girls, ages 12 and 14 and they actually didn't complain or whine for one minute the entire trip -- an amazing feat for our girls. The only thing that gave me concern was riding on city streets so close to cars at certain times. However, the guides were extremely careful and watchful for our whole group (about 20 of us) and I felt safe with them in the lead and following behind. I would definitely recommend this activity for anyone who enjoys biking and seeing the sites of the city. Just bring a gel seat or ask if they have one to borrow, as my bottom still hurt 2 days later!

| The tour was well run, well organized and F-U-N. My husband thought I was crazy for suggesting a bike ride in the city Boston and feared it would be dangerous. He was pleasantly surprised by how safe and well organized it was. The tour takes you down quiet side streets and whenever it was necessary to cross a busy road one of the guides would go out ahead and direct traffic. We are from Mass and know Boston pretty well but still enjoyed seeing the different neighborhoods and all the spectacular views even on a cloudy day! Our two teenaged children had a great time. The guides are very informative and entertaining. Since we did it we have recommended it to all our family and friends. If you are visiting Boston this tour will show you how beautiful the city is! |

| I highly recommend the Boston City View tour, esp. if you only have 1-2 days to see the whole city. It covers an immense amount of ground, from the harbor, through all the touristy sites and a couple universities, all the way to Fenway and back. It's well organized, the tour guides are very informed, and the bikes are great! Considering I haven't ridden a bike in years, the pace is decent - it's not as "leisurely" as the description makes it out to be, as you are almost constantly riding, but it is a FUN 2.5 hrs! |

| It was a very informative trip without being boring or overloading you with info. The guides were enthusiastic and very friendly. I would highly recommend this for someone who hates the thought of sitting on a boring bus tour but wants a good over view of the city. |

| Very enjoyable and informative tour, with several helpful guides (3 for group of 16) who live in and love the area, as well as cycling. Great perspectives on many points of interest and we covered the town. Guides were well-informed and could answer additional questions, like why so many brick sidewalks!
Pace is easily manageable and you need only basic cycling skills and enough oomph to climb Beacon Hill.
Compared to other tours, it beats walking because you can cover so much more ground! North End, South End, Fenway, riverside trail and more. Compared to those dumb Duck tours, you got off the roads and went right into the Christian Science compound, Boston Common, riverside paths and other areas of interest.
We did the historical Freedom Trail walking tour first and found this was an excellent complement to it. Left us feeling we had a good overview of Boston. |

| I've visited numerous cities and seeing Boston via Adventours is amazing! Not only do you experience the city at ground level, but you do it in a healthy and environmentally friendly way! No more bus tours! This is the way to go... Greg our bike tour leader was amazing! He was extremely knowlegable and humourous and helped you feel comfortable riding in city traffic. |

| The City view bicycle tour is a great way to see most of Boston without sitting in a car or being stuck in traffic. You can cover the city from the waterfront to Fenway Park and back in 2.5 hours. I would reccomend this tour to locals as well as visitors. It's a great way to spend a day in the city. |

| This was may first trip to Boston and learned so much about the city, beyond the traditional venues. Garrett, our tour guide was fun and knowledgeable. The staff was great to deal with and was very helpful with local suggestions.
Wonderful experience!
