Urban AdvenTours!

This is a very well organized tour; from arriving in the morning and seeing all the bikes ready for the group, getting adjustments on the bike to fine tune the fit, getting around and very experienced guides that kept the group together, safe and provided many good stories and descriptions about Boston. I came with a friend, but overall we were a group of 15 and had 3 guides. The main guide leading the group, another one always going last to ensure no one got lost or had any problems, and the third one riding up and down with the group to make sure everyone's questions were answered and that no one had any problems. Our total time was close to 3 hours and there was never any rush to finish fast or leave any stop before everyone was ready. I highly recommend it to anyone who has basic riding skills, even though the guides explained all the basics of shifting as if we were clueless. The bikes were Specialized Globe Vienna bikes in excellent conditions and very comfortable to ride. After the ride is over, head over to Legal Sea Food for a great lunch and from there, to Quincy Market, all within walking distance.

We really enjoyed the bike tour of Boston. The tour guides were very friendly and made the tour enjoyable. We are from a small town so we don't do any city biking but we quickly got over our nerves and the tour leaders gave great instructions and we always felt safe. We did the tour on a Sunday morning, which we highly recommend, because traffic was light and the city was quieter than usual. It was definitely the best way to get a great view of Boston

What a great monring and a great way to see the city. The tour guide was personable and knowledgable, and the route showed many, many interesting places in the Boston area, and gave me a lot of ideas about where to continue my explorations. The pace was leisurely - we had a runner pass us as we rode along the Charles - with a lot of stops to discuss the area in which we were cycling. The tour lasted three hours, and should be easily within the capabilities of anyone reasonably comfortable on a bicycle.

I have been to Boston many times over the last ten years. The bike tour put it all together. It gave me a real understanding of the city and its neighborhoods.

Easy to come by metro. Boston is flat, so the ride is easy and the car drivers are gentle with cyclists. Organisation well done. Good bikes for every one. History facts helps to understand the evolution of the city. With a digital reflex in my neck, I was able to picture what I wanted because of the frequent stops. One suggestion: give us a map that shows where we go. That would have helped us to locate places to come back for visiting more deeply. For french canadians (Quebec), it was a little bit difficult to follow informations and history because the guide was talking to fast. Our first trip in Boston: beautiful downtown with opening flowers in the trees and on the grass. Many thanks to Andrew and his personnel: every one takes care and is able to listen.

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.

Great bike tour. Enthusiastic and well established crew. Would definitely recommend.

Thanks to the whole team from the greeting at the door until the last sale of the sweatshirt to take home as a remembrance of the great tour. I would have like to have had a map that showed the general areas that we rode through. Ku was an absolutely delightful leader. For future, it might be good to ask people what their objectives for the tour are... ie architectural interests, history, bike routes in the city, landmarks since there is so much that could be covered in the stops along the way. I felt very safe throughout the tour...lots of care given to pacing and making sure the group stayed together. I was thrilled to see how much ground we covered and what a good sense of the city I was provided.

I have been to Boston many times and still did not see as much as I did on this awesome tour! We visited the major hot spots and ventured off the beaten path to see Boston from a different perspective! I would highly recommend this tour to tourists, native New Englanders and even people living in Boston! Great way to spend 3 hours!

I've been to Boston lots of times on business but rarely saw anything of the city other than through the window of a taxi. On this pleasure trip with my wife the idea of a bike tour was very appealing. We weren't disappointed and would highly recommend the tour. Our guide was great; knowledgable, enthusiastic and an interesting guy! An added bonus was a great recomendation for lunch and then coffee in the North End afterwards.

Thanks to Paul and Miles, we enjoyed Boston City View Bicycle Tour. We could get general knowledge about boston areas and thier history.

I have done almost every tour in Boston, and this one was one of my two favorites. I was a little apprehensive of the price, but I definitely got my money's worth.

great activity with knowledgeable tour guides

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...

My daughter and I decided to see the city in a whole new way so that is why we signed up for this tour. It was a good experience, however, we felt that it was a bit too long if you are not in excellent physical condition. If you are not an avid biker, this tour is hard to do. Bring a seat pad or wear padded bike shorts as the seats are very hard! We think they should shorten the tour by about a half hour. I would not recommend this to anyone who does not bike a lot.
