| My 16 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed our bike tour around Boston. The easy loops through neighborhoods, gardens and past museums, squares and historical sights were well balanced, chatty and enjoyable all around. It was very cool to recognize where we had been all throughout the week following the tour and our appreciation of it grew even more. Actually inspired, we both committed to touring future cities by bike as well. Bike rides make memorable days! |

| My wife and I, with our 22 yo son, took the bike tour with Len as our guide. My wife is not an avid biker, but the terrain, frequent breaks, and step-by-step directions for each leg of the trip made it easy for us all, and before we knew it, we had finished a 10-12 mile ride. Len was very knowledgeable about Boston, both historically and recently. We highly recommend this company as guides for a wonderful way to see Boston. We enjoyed getting some exercise and touring "green". |

| My friends and I were only going to be in Boston for a day and a half and we wanted to see as much as we could. I stumbled upon Urban AdvenTours while doing some research and thought this would be a great way to see and learn about Boston while getting some exercise and enjoying a beautiful Sunday. It was everything I had hoped for and more. Our tour guide Garrett had everyone introduce themselves to the group, he then explained what we would be doing before we started, as well as giving us a safety lesson and before you knew it we were off to our first destination. I haven't been on a bike in quite some time but I felt very safe riding on the streets of Boston. I was able to see Boston in 2.5 hours which is something I would not have been able to do given my time constraints. I highly recommend taking this tour- it's fun, educational, and a great way to see Boston! I'd consider taking this tour again the next time I am in town. |

| Totally enjoyed this bike tour. The bikes were nice (not too fancy) and in very good shape. We took breaks for photo ops and water on regular intervals. Our tour guide was the best. He really knew the city and was able to answer any question we threw at him. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a little exercise and fresh air. |

| My fiance and I took a weekend trip to Boston and the bike tour was the second thing we did (after an early morning tour at Sam Adams). It was also the best way to start off our trip because we really got a feel for the city. Our tour guide, Garrett, was awesome! He knew a ton about Boston and its neighborhoods. He covered some of the standard history, but really tailored his comments to our questions (which were mostly about the character of the neighborhoods and how their history made them what they are today). The two+ hours went by very quickly and without much exertion. There were a few precarious moments with traffic from cars and trucks, but that had more to do with the Boston drivers than our guide or us. If you want to really get a feel for where you'll be doing your sightseeing and what makes Boston, Boston, this is a great activity, well worth the price. Thanks for a great intro to Boston! |

| Me and my boyfriend went on the bike tour. We both really enjoyed it. It was a really good way to see parts of the city that you wouldn't necessarily otherwise come across. They took us to some really stunning parts. You didn't feel overloaded with information either as you were cycling between stops giving you a chance to just take it all in. The bike ride itself was nice and easy. You stopped regularly and were supplied with water. One tour guide lead the way whilst another followed behind so you felt completely safe on the roads. The staff were really friendly. I would definately recommend this, preferably at the beginning of your stay as you're likely to want to go back to some of the places you see! |

| We had a great time on our tour. My wife was uncertain about biking in Boston Traffic; the route and the manuevers were expertly done. We've been to many of the sights before, but our guide made them fresh and interesting
Anyone who bikes even a little will enjoy Boston City View Bicycle Tour very much.

| The ride was fun and the guide was great. The only thing I would have liked is the ride to have been a little harder, but they have to accommodate everyone. |
