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.

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!

Traffic was really bad from back bay, so plan ahead. The rest was perfect! Rented an e bike. Made the trip totally great for us! Our tour guide, Bob did a great job! You do need to drive through the city ant times where it’s a bit dicey. But not bad if your careful. Awesome tour and worth it!!
