Fantastic! I love arranging cycling tours when I go to a new city because I think it's the best way to see the sights and learn the history. And it's fun too. And this tour was all of these things. Gary and Ken were excellent tour guides, giving us enough time to stop and take pictures or chat to other riders. We covered around 10 miles and although Beacon Hill is a little steep, it wasn't too challenging and added to the riding experience on the tour. We visited the harbour, the Italian district, Fenway Park baseball ground, stopped by the Charles River river to chat about Harvard and MIT, and cycled around some fantastic neighbourhoods and streets. Great bikes too, very comfortable and easy to ride. Plus, our tour took place two days before the 2024 Boston Marathon, and Gary and Ken took us to see the finishing line, which was no mean feat! Top job guys, would definitely recommend.

Highly recommend this cycle tour for anyone that visits Boston. We got to see neighbourhoods which we otherwise wouldn’t have visited. A lot of it was on cycle lanes so it felt relatively safe. There are a couple of hills, but mainly flat going. I’ve given it 4 stars because the guides, though pleasant and friendly, didn’t impart much information and other tours like this in other cities build in a coffee break at a nice pub or cafe. This would have been welcome.

We had Gary and Ken take us on this tour. The passion for their job and the city made this tour even better. A great and easy ride. An excellent way to see the city especially when we had limited time here. If you are reading this to help you decide whether to go, book it!

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!
