| 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 bike tour through Boston was the best tour I have ever taken while traveling. The guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I was the oldest person on the tour, but everyone was patient and supportive and it was a marvelous experience. |

| The tour fit in nicely in a gap in scheduled midweek meetings in Boston and it was a great way to discover all the historic sights which Boston has to offer on a great Spring day. The tour guide, Greg, was knowledgable and confident in getting the small group around town and in providing many insights on the historic points of interest covered in the tour. The staff are interested in promoting more use of biking as a means of transportation in Boston and deserve to be supported for their efforts. The bikes and helmets were in excellent shape. |

| The tour was the best way to see the city. It was a great introduction to the different neighborhoods of Boston and informative at the same time. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic and made the tour fun. |

| We were really looking forward to the tour as we had just done a bicycle tour in Chicago. I was disappointed in the tour guide (I believe a tour guide can make or break a tour). He just didn't have a whole lot of good info regarding the sites. I completely enjoyed seeing Boston by bicycle, but I would have liked to have a more knowledgeable tour guide. |

Family With Children |
| My 9- and 12-year old children and I enjoyed the ride, the sights and the stories. The guides were friendly and made sure everyone was happy with his/her bike. The pace was leisurely, with plenty of opportunities to stop, take photos, and hear about the city. My only two concerns: size and price. The tour group was large (19 riders with 3 guides) which made it difficult for us all to get through intersections. Sometime a guide would block traffic for all of us to get through, but when there wasn't someone blocking traffic, it wasn't clear whether we were expected to zip through or stop and risk holding everyone up. Maybe some more instruction on "how to ride in such a large group" would have helped. Two smaller groups with 2 guides each would have felt much safer. As for price, I can't help but wonder whether more families would be willing to take advantage of this great way to see the city if a discounted price was offered for children...or a AAA discount...or a GoBoston Card discount. Nevertheless, the bike tour was one of the best parts of our Boston visit! |

| I've been traveling a lot to Boston for work, and I was going to have to stay over the weekend so I was looking for a tour. I read online that this was the 'best thing' someone had done in Boston, and I was really up for something different. This was by far the best thing I have done. There were about 14 in our group, and we had an excellent tour guide. It gives you a great chance to see all of the neighborhoods, plus you're getting a great workout at the same time. The owner of the bike shop couldn't have been more pleasant. If I have some free time again, I am definitely going to try one of their other tour routes. Thanks! |
