    This was a great experience! The whole experience was chill from start to finish. Bob and the two guides in training were so nice, full of lots of details and insights. We did this the day after we walked the Freedom Trail and saw all kinds of other neighborhoods and had the best experience! Highly recommend!

    Really enjoyed our bike ride throughout Boston. The three guides were fantastic; they kept it very enjoyable and we enjoyed seeing and riding to the sites. Highly recommend for families!

    This is a fantastic tour that gives you a great overview of the Boston area. I had opted for the e-bike but it isn’t really necessary as the only hill to bike is to Beacon Hill. Everything else is flat. That said, I am glad I had an e-bike as there are a ton of stop lights where I was glad I could take off (after a full stop) fast and without any effort. Bring a sweater or jacket because it does get cold by the water front (depending on the season of course).

    My best friend and I have done bike tours around the country and have 4 more scheduled at every port we stop at on our cruise. The tour guides in Boston were very informative and KNOW the history of their city! We were impressed! The tour was fun, challenging and we learned a lot about what you don’t read in the history books. Thank you and we will return again!

    Great bikes, great guides, and a great tour of the city of Boston. I can tell you the ride is not difficult because I was concerned as I had recently fractured my hip and was healing. 98% of the rider is flat and over 50% is completely away from traffic. Do it! You will enjoy it.
