5.00Austin was our excellent tour guide He easily navigated through busy areas, knew traffic patterns, and relayed fantastic history, sports, and architecture factoids of Boston. My kids and I had so much fun and would love to go on another tour with him.
The best visit

5.00We are a family with young children, and it is the first time we can take a bike tour together. We have had several with the older children and we love how the city is known like this. We felt very protected with in team guides. It’s evident when someone enjoys their work, and that’s how we feel about them. Happy to have been with you!
Great idea!!!

5.00The bike option in Boston is great. The choice of the perfect Adventours. Experienced guide, committed, qualified and kind. Best impossible. The whole family participated without difficulty, although we had a six-year-old girl. I'll definitely do it again.
Fantastic bike ride adventure

5.00The excellent guide Bob took us on a brilliant early evening bike tour along the Charles river, and we finished as the sun set so we had excellent views of the city. The guys in the shop were great and everything was looked after - there were just three of us on the tour - on a warm summer evening early September. Bob stopped regularly to give us some stories about the city but we just really enjoyed the pace of the tour along mainly bike paths and a few quiet city roads. Even a puncture was quickly dealt with and the bikes were great and easy to ride. The cycling at sunset was quite special and I would recommend it.
Nice ride but little info

3.00The tour through the city and around the river is fun and interesting but the guide has little to say about it. That is not because of him but because of the city or the route we cycled. I would just do this route with a rental bike.
Great!
