5.00I’ve been to Boston many many times, but never on a bike tour. It was fantastic! Perfect Weather, guides both entertaining and informative. Great way to see Boston from a different perspective. Loved riding Under the Zakon bridge. Beautiful! Definitely will remember this when out of town friends come to visit.

5.00Learning about Harvard and MIT was great, tour guide was friendly and had really great info on his tour, it is just a shame the weather was not so good, cold and wet is not exactly the best way to spend time on a bike
Tour experience great, Viator not

3.00It was a great tour but Viator charged too much overhead! I wanted to tip the guides more but Viator made it too expensive to justify that…maybe just “over” charge for one or two people, but not 3!
Would recommend

5.00A well thought out trail that took us from Boston to Cambridge and back. As we did go through some high traffic areas, I give a lot of credit to our tour guide for keeping safety front and center. I would have welcomed more information and narration being automatically built into the ride, but when I asked specific questions, our guide was very capable and informed to answer them. If you want to learn about the city, ask questions:) I would recommend this tour and give it a 5 start
WICKED AWESOME!!! 😀

5.00Bob and Charles were awesome. Very kind, friendly, informative and full of life and knowledge….even better that they’re locals. We had four peeps from England and I had to smile thinking of the British accent vs the Boston accent as we all chatted. I ♥️ Boston!! Thank you for a great day! I’ll spread the good word!!
Great ride to Cambridge!

5.00We did the Cambridge tour and really enjoyed it. The weather was perfect, the bikes were comfortable and well-maintained, and the guides were friendly and knowledgeable. It was a relatively flat and easy ride? Mostly on bike paths and in bike lines. Highly recommend!
Great way to see the city!

Fabulous Cambridge Tour

5.00Had a great tour of Cambridge with Bob. We were booked on the Saturday afternoon of marsthon weekend and it expected it to be busy however it ended up just being four of us and we were all on holiday together. Bob gave us a great balance of history, interesting facts and laughs along with around 12 miles of cycling. Interesting sights including MIT and Harvard along with other familiar sights. We were out for 2.5 hours and the time flew by. We all agreed we had a brilliant afternoon and would recommend to others. Thanks Bob
