Private Tours |
Am I required to sign a waiver?
Yes. It is a requirement that all individuals participating with Urban AdvenTours agree to sign a waiver. If you are under the age of 18, your parent or legal guardian must sign for you. A waiver will be provided to each participant to sign before the tour by your street guide.
How long do the tours last?
Tours generally last 2.5 hours. However, depending on your group, traffic, and other factors, the tour may last up to 3.5 hours or more!
Does the evening tour run after dark?
Yes, sometimes the evening tours do run after dark. The city has an entirely different feel at night, and the lights make for amazing photo opportunities. If you are taking the evening tour, be sure to bring an extra jacket or sweater as the temperature can dip quite a bit after sunset in Boston.
What if there is rain or inclement weather?
The tour will typically run in a light rain, but not in more severe or unsafe weather conditions. If AdvenTours needs to cancel the tour, we will contact you on the day of the tour to reschedule your tickets to another time that is convenient for you. Please be sure the local (or cell phone) number you provide when buying your tickets is accurate.
Are there bathroom stops on the tour?
Yes, there is one bathroom stop in the middle of the tour.
What happens if a bike is lost or stolen during a tour or rental?
The customer is liable for the bicycle and will be responsible for the full retail cost of the bike rented.
Are children welcome on the tour?
Since the tour is at least three hours long and some children have a limited attention span and energy level, the tour may not be appropriate for kids under 10 years old. Private tours are always available and perhaps best for families with more than one child.
What special arrangements can be made for my children to take the tour?
The best thing you can do for your children is to book a private tour! After you have done that, we will be able to provide your child with a "pint sized" bicycle or a towing attachement for parents with toddlers. Click the "Contact this seller" link to inquire about taking a tour with your children.
Can I take my video camera on the tour?
Absolutely.
Can I rent a bike?
Yes, to schedule a bike rental call (617) 233-7595. It is $25 a day to rent a bike and you can pick them up at the bike shop near Fenway or have them delivered to you for $35.
Are gift certificates available?
Absolutely. There is no better gift for a new student or new resident in the Boston area. It is a great way to help them become more acclimated to the city. Gift certificates are also great birthday, thank you, and anniversaries gifts. To purchase a gift certificate, please click on the "Contact this seller" link.
What if I am a local Bostonian? Do I have anything to gain from one of your tours?
Of course! All of the locals who have taken our tours have said they learned something new, whether it be a new landmark or a new route. Our tours are also great for locals with out-of-town visitors who want to see the sites. It is a unique offering that will leave your guests thanking you for taking them off the beaten path of traditional tours.
What is the maximum number of people on a tour?
Our tours generally range from 2-10 people for safety and customer service reasons. We are able to split up larger groups that would like to leave at the same time.
Can I rent a tandem bike?
Yes, special arrangements can be made for a tandem bike, but you must contact the seller at least 24 hours in advance to do so. Please click the "Contact this seller" link to inquire.
