Really enjoyed this tour. I was by myself and didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. Nice amount of time to see points of interest. There was a cold bottle of water included and restroom break half way through. Really great guide as well.

Dunkin’ was an exceptional leader and guide! He skillfully guided us throughout the city on the bike routes and he was also super knowledgeable about Boston; the history and today’s Boston. A great fast paced thorough tour. The e-bikes make it very doable for various levels of fitness.

    E-bike tour of Boston

    Maria_S, Sep 2026
    This is a great tour to get your bearings in Boston. You cover a lot of ground with the bike than you would be able to do in a short amount of time. Our tour guide was exceptional at keeping us safe from the start of our journey and provided colorful commentary throughout the tour via the speakers in our helmets.

    No Refunds or Credits w/o Insurance

    JONATHAN_K, Sep 2026
    Be aware - they will not give you a credit or any kind of refund or let you rebook on another tour for any reason within 24 hours of your tour unless you purchase the insurance. Our flight was cancelled and we were unable to get to our tour and they were not flexible at all. Also, almost impossible to get in touch with the actual tour operator. Viator was unable to contact them on my behalf. Never received a response from them on a separate question regarding the ability of them to store my bags while on the tour. My advice is that if you cant find a website or phone number for the actual company providing the tour find one that does!!

    Bike tour

    Really enjoyed this cycling tour. Duncan was very knowledgeable and made the tour entertaining. Riding bike was easier than I expected having not been on an electric bike before

    Great value and a good way to experience Boston in 2.5 hours

    Dunkin was great, learned alot, so much to learn about history, Cambridge holy cow, what a sight. Did the know all the big names were here. Learned about MIT also amazing

    Fun ride around town!

    Stacy_R, Aug 2026
    Great job with sharing bits of history, informative and interesting storytelling! Duncan our tour guide couldn’t have been nicer with great instructions throughout the ride. He was also very helpful and kept a good eye on the youngest riders. As it’s a busy city ride and the bikes are a bit heavy, it may be challenging for riders under the age of twelve.

    Very fun. We were able to much of Boston and the neighboring universities in short two hours. Duncan was very knowledgeable and kept us safe.

    Great bike tour of Boston

    Great tour. Duncan was very knowledgeable and we had a great experience. Highly recommend as we had a limited window and wanted to get a good idea of what to schedule next.

    It was a great way to see many neighborhoods and learn the history of Boston. Duncan is very informative.

    Enjoyable E bike tour

    Great way to see Boston- learn the history and more!

    Marci_B, Aug 2026
    Great tour, our guide, Brandon, was VERY knowledgeable and gave us great instructions regarding the traffic! Bikes NEED more comfortable seats!! (I have an e-bike and can ride mine for hours without any butt pain!)

    Dunkin was great! Such a fun way to see the city. The ebikes were easy to use and in great shape. The whole family loved it!

    Great way to see Boston's historical and iconic sites.

    Umar_K, Jul 2026
    The guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, the bikes worked perfectly as did the communication-enabled helmets, and the route was perfect.

    Outstanding!

    Louise_C, Jul 2026
    Earlier on our visit, we sent on a trolley tour of Boston and a boat tour on the Charles River. This tour was far superior to either of those tours. Our tour guide, Dunkin, was extremely knowledgeable giving us facts and antedocts that were very, very interesting. He was very conscientious in ensuring that we were riding safely when in areas of congestion and staying together at all times. There were great photo ops which he happily offered to take for anyone. Sena helmets were supplied to each of us which allowed him to talk to us through a microphone in our helmets and clearly hear every word he said on the ride. There was not one complaint by anyone of us who was on the tour. It was the highlight of the day!

    Amazing bike tour in Boston today! 🚲 A beautiful day filled with fascinating history, incredible sights, and stories that brought the city to life. Our guide Duncan was fantastic— he was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Boston in a fun and memorable way!

    Good tour and worth it.

    Tanya_K, Jul 2026
    It was a good experience. I have had better bike tours. I would have like to see some different things.

    Our Favorite Boston Tour

    Jill_E, Jul 2026
    What a fun way to see some Boston highlights! We loved this tour, and our guide, Dunkin, was fantastic. This was our first experience with e-bikes, and we felt very comfortable. If you’re comfortable on a regular bike, this will be very easy. We saw tons of highlights, and our tour was a great mix of history and city knowledge. It’s a fun orientation to the city- 10/10 recommend!

    Great fun way to see Boston

    Katharine_H, Jul 2026
    Was great fun and an awesome way to see Boston. Our guide Dunkin was really knowledgeable and helpful so had a really great time. Thank you!

    Dunkin’ was awesome. I had a private tour and even though I was his 4th tour of day his level Of attention to detail was excellent. I learned a lot as I prep for my conference that I am hosting in a few months. He made sure my safety was a priority. Amazing tour!

    Dena_D, Jul 2026
    This is my go to activity when I vacation- see the city via e-bike tour! This experience was great! Had done the 1-day hop on/off tour the day before and this tour went to areas of Boston not on the loop! Highly recommend!

    Stay away! Awful tour

    April_R, Jun 2026
    Unfortunately this tour was horrible for me. Prior to getting on my bike, the tour guide Dunkin put the bike helmet on my head without warning me effectively and pressed down very hard compressing my neck. That was the first day of our vacation and I spent the whole week on pain meds and ice and had to go to urgent care for xrays before flying home. I have now had an MRI and other treatment. My vacation was ruined and it has been two weeks now and I am still injured and getting medical treatment. Imo, Dunkin was careless in what he did and should not do this job. I will never book with this tour company again as they have caused me great pain, literally. Stay away from this tour company unless you want to be injured.

    Fun safe ride thru the city

    Luis_R, Jun 2026
    Great time touring the city at a very leisurely pace. Got to see a lot of important sites and great description and informative details shared!

    Incredible experience

    Christina_G, Jun 2026
    Amazing trip your guide is really nice and even takes pictures for you. He even gives you a popsicle at the end.

    See all of Boston the right way.

    James_M, Jun 2026
    First Off, I’m a fan of bike tours. They are a perfect way to see the city, learn some history, and feel the breeze on your face. This did not disappoint. Weather was perfect, pace was perfect, and bikes were great, even for someone just wires never done it, the e bikes make it so easy. Tour guide Dunkin was cool, shared great insights and stories, as only one who lives here and went to college here could. Worth it.

    History with a Large Dose of Fun.

    Mattias_C, Jun 2026
    Great way to see the city. Informative, fun and interesting with Dunkin as an awesome tour guide. Bummed I didn’t get a picture of our group with our bikes but did get several pics of iconic Boston locations. Don’t miss this tour!

    Aberdeen folks tour of Boston

    Denice_F, Jun 2026
    Our guide Dunkin really was great. We had a 12 year old in our party and his care and attention towards him didn’t go unnoticed. Dunkin knows Boston really well and all three of us felt informed as well as safe at all times. The wander tour was an amazing way to see Boston

    Dunkin’ is Great!!

    Kevin_S, Jun 2026
    Dunkin’ was great with the knowledge and presentation. Helmets have a speaker system so you can hear the guide throughout the ride. You cover a lot of ground on the tour and things can go pretty fast.
