This is a wonderful way to see many neighborhoods in the area and understand how Boston is laid out. The guide we had was very knowlledgeable about the history of Boston and was very personable. I highly recommend this tour!

Unfortunately it was raining most of the time during our bike-trip thru Boston. Nevertheless we had a great time with our guide Len. Thanks again for that very interesting and unforgettable bike tour.

What a great way to see Boston!

Haven't been on a bike since I was 10, so I was a little nervous. I'm not gonna lie, a couple sections weren't super easy for me, but I kept up just fine. The tour was amazing, fun and I really feel like I got to see the entire city... The tour guides had loads of interesting tidbits and I felt really watched out for our safety in traffic. Really the best time I've had doing a tourist activity!

Good Time

The guide was excellent and the ride very enjoyable. Fairly light on the information, it's really about the bike ride. If you'd like to spend an active afternoon outdoors and see some of the city, this is a great, fun way to do it.

A wonderful experience, but maybe not for everyone

My wife and I selected this bicycle tour based on other reviews on this site and we were not disappointed in the least. Our guide was friendly, outgoing and very informative - a true Bostonian! The tour certainly takes you all around the city and you get a chance to see all the major sites bar none. However, if you are not used to riding a bicycle, or riding one in heavy traffic in particular, this may not be the tour for you. The tour has many segments where you are not "fighting traffic" but you will certainly encounter a lot of it. Let's face it, this is a city tour of a very busy city! The pace of the tour, while not the Tour de France, is quite brisk and depending on the weather (we had a headwind during a long stretch) can be a little taxing to some. The stops we made were good and allowed for photo taking, a history lesson and the like, however I think we would have preferred a more leisurely pace that allowed for more stops/photo taking. Of course even at a brisk pace the tour was three hours, so to slow it down would either extend the time or reduce the coverage, something most may not be willing to commit to / sacrifice. Again however, a wonderful tour overall but one best done at the beginning of your stay in Boston and used as a reference to re-visit landmarks you may have missed as you were pedaling along, fighting the morning commute with all the road raged drivers...

Another look at Boston that was missed on foot!

We joined this tour thinking it would give us another view of Boston, outside of the 'tried and true' locations of Boston. This bike tour gave us a true appreciation of what Boston has to offer in the way of little known areas and parks. Make sure you bring comfortable clothing and your camera, as you won't want to miss the areas that this tour hits.

You wanna see a city? Bike It!
Fri, Oct 3, 08   10:00 AM drjones7 Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Simply said, when you want to see a new city, get off your fat American arse and foot or bike it! Boston was a beautiful example of a great place that you would never be able to see a city's incredible sites by car. Our guide was knowledgable of not only the history of Boston and its centuries of significance, but had a keen awareness of modern events and cultural happenings in all of the great spots we hit. While we majored on the majors, this was not an in depth search of the Freedom Trail (and was not advertised as such), so I had the privilege of conversing with our guide for further relevant cultural and historical areas to explore. I would give this a hearty recommendation for anyone looking for an active and thourogh exploration of Boston.

My girlfriend and I were in Boston for a couple of days and thought it would be a good idea to take a bike tour. As it turns out, it was a GREAT idea! By far the highlight of our trip. We got to see so much of the city and our tour guide, Sam, was fantastic. We were able to check out so much in a relatively short time and got so much insight and history into Boston and American History. I couldn't have asked for a better time and experience.

Great overview of Boston
Thu, Sep 4, 08   10:00 AM msambors Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This tour does a fine job of touring the communities within Boston. Much of the tour is on safe, quiet side streets, which allows participants to see parts of Boston they may otherwise miss. The tour stops, however, at many major sites of interest and the guides provide interesting details and stories.

Enjoyed the bike tour

I thoroughly enjoyed the Boston City View Bike Tour I took on Sept. 2. The AdvenTour staff was very nice and helpful when we had a public transportation snafu and had to reschedule. Sam, our tour guide, was knowledgable and enthusiastic. This is a great tour for the casual cyclist. The pace was manageable, and there were no steep hills. A more serious biker, however, might want more of a challenge.

Great tour from friendly, knowledgable folks!!

We had a blast. It was nice to see some sites up close that we just passed by on the trolleys. Much faster than a walking tour with more detail than a trolley tour. They are a top notch crew. Andrew led the tour with Mike working traffic at intersections and Leslie brought up the rear (also doubled as the group's photographer). We learned a lot, saw a lot and generally had a great time. It was our (wife & I) first time in Boston, did lots of tours & would highly recommend UrbanAdventours to anyone. We did pass by their competition while on the tour and were instantly glad we went with UA, safety first & brand new bikes.....hard to beat. Thanks again, Brian & Val from South Carolina

Excellent way to see the beautiful city of Boston

My girlfriend and I were a little tentative as we had not biked in a while. We had no trouble keeping up even going up Beacon Hill!!! The pace of the tour was perfect with appropriately spaced and interesting stops. We saw and got great insights into parts of the city we may have never known about. Boston is very safe to bike through. Very friendly policemen even stopped traffic for us. Just as we were tired and ready to get off the bikes, the tour was ended. Absolutely a great way to start a visit to Boston!!!!
