We enjoyed the bike ride very much. It is a safe and easy ride, no need to be Lance Armstrong. The guides give you lots of information. It's the good idea to do the bike tour before you start visiting the city. That way, you'll know where to go for dinner, shopping, etc. |

We had a blast! The staff was friendly and fun and their paramount concern was our safety. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see Boston but not take that silly looking Duck tour.....

My mom and I had such a GREAT time on the City View Bike Tour! She has a nerve problem where standing for a long time bothers her, but biking is fine. The entire experience was seamlessly organized and so enjoyable. We saw MUCH more of the city than we would have on a bus tour, and got a little exercise. It was just the right amount of stopping and riding, with lots of great information. I live in Boston and have seen how people drive, so I was nervous about riding on the streets, but the guides directed traffic so well that I barely noticed when we were riding on the streets at all.
We were so thrilled to discover so many hidden gems of the city, and enjoyed the green focus of the tour. It was worth every penny. I'll be coming back for the fall foliage tour. |

Loved the Boston City View Bicycle Tour by AdvenTours! We had a large group of 30 cyclists, but the guides managed to keep every one safe and on course. AdvenTours provided great bikes and water bottles (would have been nice to keep them, but we had to turn them in, making one wonder how well they were cleaned). The stops were informative and well spaced for those that may have needed rest. Loved the historical information which was given. My 15 year old son and I enjoyed it so much, we took a different tour the next day (only 7 guests on this one). For a truly personalized tour, I'd recommend a private tour, but you can't beat the value of the group tours. Definitely a bargain. |

My family and I were first time visitors to Boston. We have teenagers and didn't know how to sight see without boring them too much/ walking too much. Simultaneously, we wanted to learn about Boston and just have fun! So...after searching online the bike tour was highly recommended and boy was it a treat! The guides were awesome; very friendly, knowledgeable and good with keeping us safe from the crazy Boston drivers :). Our entire family had a blast while seeing Boston in a fun way. Sincerely, what a great experience! Thank you! |

This activity is overall fun. You can actually ride the entire city in these 2.5 hours. The history of the city from the guides seemed off the cuff, yet it was still good. I think it could have been better. Still a good activity. |

The bike tour was awesome! We have 4 teenage boys and they all loved the tour. We spent the day before onthe Freedom Trail, but all they did was complain! Too hot, too tired, bored, etc. Urban Adventours made learning about the history of Boston fun! Great guides, comfy bikes. The highlight of our trip |

Everyone was friendly and the tour guides seemed to really enjoy themselves. I would definitely recommend this for families with children older than 10. |

Tour was on a weekday morning - only 4 in our group. Since we were all experienced cyclists, our tour guide was able to add many more sights and miles than usual. Tour guide, Garrett was very knowledgable. Also, good at signalling the drivers and getting them to stop and allow our group to stay together. The bikes were easy to operate and lightweight, water bottles were partially frozen so the water stayed refreshingly cool! We got there half an hour early and they allowed us to take off on the bikes and get used to the gear-shifting so we felt very comfortable by the time the tour started. Tour guide made the effort to get to know us and customized the tour and his comments to our interests. Would do this again in a heartbeat! But would suggest that you need to be comfortable riding in city traffic. |

My husband and I took this tour with our 12 and 14 year old children. It was really fun, safe and we got an overall tour of the city with some great information. We had never done a bike tour before and are not avid bicyclists and were able to keep up and just had a great time. |

Boston's Best

The tour was outstanding! Three enthusiastic guides escorted our total group of 21 people. Our bikes were double-checked before we departed and we were given plenty of water, instruction, etc. The Boston tour was informative and easily navigated. The guys made sure there were no safety issues with traffic when we weren't on bike paths. I brought my three kids with me -- ages 19, 13, and 13 -- and they enjoyed it and had no problems. Plenty of pics were taken and AdvenTours even takes pics too -- for Freeeee! |

This is a fantastic way to get an overview of the city that includes all of the information of regular tour guides without those awful tour buses. Boston's traffic on a Saturday morning was light (almost non-existent) and the path around the city is suitable for everyone including beginner cyclists. In addition to an included helmet, there is also a bottle of water and a handlebar bag for your camera, phone, wallet, etc. I'd highly recommend Urban AdvenTours to anyone - including Bostonians who might have never experienced cycling around the city. |

The bicycle tour was a great way to see different parts of Boston. The tour was well organized, informative and seemed more safe than we expected. I would rate this experience much better than a typical city bus tour. |
