This tour was great! The guides (we had three riding with us) had a lot of personality. They kept us safe, such as stopping traffic at certain intersections. They were very knowledgeable of the areas we went through and threw in some quirky facts along the way. The ride itself was easy... only one hill where I had to walk my bike up. The ride along the Charles River was so scenic! All in all, a wonderful, fun tour -- great guides, easy to handle bikes, and some exercise!

Excellent tour with fun, knowledgeable, professional guides. If you're looking for something to do in Boston don't miss this bike tour. Pell and Austin are experienced bike riders and know their city's rich history. Two thumbs up. 10 out of 10 for sure.

Boston is bike friendly and this tour will give you a good feel for Boston. Highly recommended, but challenging in summer at 37 degrees! Gerry, our guide was great!
