I had a tremendous guide and ride on an overcast day with only moderate traffic. I felt completely safe throughout as the guide placed himself between me and the traffic. Our pace was moderate and the ride was only strenuous in several hilly areas, though only for brief intervals. We rode briefly along the emerald necklace park area, in the Back Bay and South End neighborhoods of beautiful brownstones and small parks, stopped outside Fenway Park and the Christian Science compound, rode through Copley Square and stopped to see the Boston Public Library. Then on past some of the Freedom Trail sites, over oppulent Beacon Hill neighborhood and back to the bike shop through the parks along the Charles River. Later in my trip I returned to several of these sites to spend more time exploring. This was an informative and quite comprehensive introduction for a first time visitor to Boston. I'll be back, next time to rent a bike and go exploring on my own. Thanks! |

I had an amazing time with this tour. Andrew the owner really loves what he does and loves his city. I can't wait to take more tours like this in other cities now (Including my own). People in duck boats and trolleys did not look to be having nearly as much fun as we were during their tour. Highly recommend. |

I very much enjoyed attending this activity while in Boston. It offered a good mix of bike riding and sightseeing. The pace was enjoyable but also very manageable and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this ride to people of all ages. |

Lovely tour, recommended, learnt plenty with a good guide, nice to get a little excercise. Things that could be better: comfy gel type saddles (I ride a fair bit but found the stock saddle uncomfortable after a few miles), it was a very slow pace (which might suit some of course). |

Great tour, but my twleve year old was falling behind a little on busy city streets and the guide could have been a little more conscious of it. Not a major problem, but he could have been slightly more attentive. |

Many thanks fo our guide :-) We had a great day and a fab tour - most of the group were the first time in Boston and it was good idea to go. You are not always driving on the big streets - more the silent streets and you get a good view about the city and different areas. Even for me - it was a blast - as i know Boston quite well and have to say i saw a lot of new stuff.
I always would recommend the tour for newcommers and as a new idea to watch the city by bike.
the bikes were in good shape and the stuff very helpful.
We will recommand the tour to all our german friends - when they are coming over to Boston.
Many thanks !!! |

We had walked Boston somewhat on the day of our arrival. The tour occurred the next day and exceeded our expectations. We found the overview of the city to be delightful. Tour guide was great. Thank you! |

Cant recommend this trip high enough-on a record high hot day for Boston-96c we were a bit wary of how hot this would be as was very humid and we had a early p.m slot- we neednt have worried- we soon forgot the heat as cycled along in a group of 5 of us with Ed the tour guide a great knowledgeble fun guide. The route is a great way to see boston and get an idea of where you are - we did it on the 1st day of arriving and would recoomend it wholeheartedly- the guys in the shop are very professional ,friendly and fun wih it- truly is Boston's no 1 must do-thanks |

This was our fist time to Boston and the first thing we did upon arriving.This was more than we expected and a great tour that hit the highlights of Boston.The ride was done with for the most part with ease(our guide Ed did a great job keeping us in the shade on a steamy morning).Ed was wonderful and he really gave us great insight into the city and made the tour a great delight.
I would do this before I did anything else upon arrving in Boston. |

the tour was a different and fun way to see the city. the guide was excellent and ensured that everyone was safe and could cycle the route. after the tour i found it hard to believe that we had actually cycled through the city!! however i never felt unsafe or scared at any point and i am not a experienced cyclist. all in all a very good afternoon and money well spent |

The tour was a great way to experience the sights of Boston and a good way to start to orient yourself to the city. The tour guides were helpful, informative and friendly. Also met some great people who were on the tour as well. |

What is the best way to see Boston? On a bike with an experienced guide from Urban AdvenTours.
Afraid of riding in Boston traffic? Don't be. Our experienced guide led our group to all the major attractions confidently and safely.
Not in shape for biking? No worries. The trip is flat (well one or two very small hills) and paced slowly so all can enjoy the sights and sounds of the city.
Want to learn about the different areas of Boston? Our guide offered facts and funnies about all that we saw.

We loved this exciting and well-guided tour. It suited all of us, including my husband, who is from Massachusetts and knows Boston pretty well, my brother who had never been to the United States before, my son, who is 13 years old and is only interested in sports, and me, not an experienced city cyclist at all. I felt like we swooped around and really got a feel for the kind of city it is, rather than just looking at the monuments. |
