5.00My husband and I went on this bike ride yesterday. Our guides Costa and Ken were first class. Fabulous value for money as we explored the city for almost 3 hours. Weather was ideal and it was a delight being on a bike again. Whilst there were a few hills most of the trip was on the flat. We covered loads of Boston and it was also great to hear the history from Costa and Ken. Would highly recommend
A great way to experience & learn about Boston!

5.00If you are interested in seeing another side of Boston, getting some exercise and having fun while doing it then this is the tour for you. Engaging and knowledgeable tour guides an easy and educational route around major Boston sites and an intro to many neighborhoods I thought I knew well - but was surprised to discover additional hidden gems. Wonderful intro to Boston that was really unique - we loved it!

5.00Great tour! Ken was our guide and showed us so much of the city! It was only our group on the tour and he really tailored it to our interests and what we wanted to see. I don’t think there was any part of the city that we didn’t get to ride past! A great way to see Boston

5.00Our family of 5 had an amazing bike tour with Bob and Gary at Urban Adventures. We cycled to several of the Boston neighborhoods and stopped at many of the Boston highlights. We learned about the history and current day owners in some of the elite neighborhoods. I highly recommend this 2+ hour tour to get a great overview of the sights in Boston. This crew is top notch!
