Fun Fall Tour

Kandi_G, Oct 2024
Austin was very knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable and easy! We saw many things in Cambridge we would have never known about.

Harvard Trip

Martin_H, Oct 2024
Learning 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

Linda_E, Aug 2024
It 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!

WICKED AWESOME!!! 😀

Bob 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 tour of Cambridge!

Charles was great. Very knowledgeable and kind. I hadn't rode a bike in decades...and it went smoother than I thought. Great tour.

Cambridge in the rain.

Pell was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgable about history and Cambridge. He ensured we were safe and had fun. It was a little cold and it rained for part of our ride. It was fun and Pell made sure we were comfortable with the bikes and how much we rode. It was great!. All the stars!!!

I Ride Boston

Danell_C, Sep 2022
Great way to see the city!! The ride was great and our tour guide, Charles, was the best. He was knowledgeable and easy going. Would do it again and highly recommend.

Thank you for sharing your tour experience and recommendation with us Danell! We are glad that you could join us and look forward to a next time!

They stole our money and we could not make the tour

Laura_T, Jun 2022
It was supposed yo be a child friendly tour but it was not. They did not have bikes that fit my son height so we could not make the tour, however they did not refund us the money. Basically they stole US$272 from us. They new it was not kid friendly but did not let us know at the registration process. They acted in bad faith. I won’t recomend this company.

Fabulous way to see the sites of Cambridge and Charles River!

Kari_G, Jun 2022
We loved our bike tour of Cambridge along the Charles River! Pell was a great guide, experienced, super personable, and easily approachable for questions. Great to learn some more history of Boston harbor area, see both MIT and Harvard campuses, and the quaint town of Cambridge. Would definitely recommend this tour for families with teenagers!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Awesome tour. Greg led a nice paced and safe ride. He's very knowledgeable and took some great pictures along the way.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Thanks for joining us! Uncle Greg is one of our longest serving guides. I hope he took one of his famous peace sign selfies!

One of the best

One of the best tours in the city!! Excellent experience riding the Charles, the campus of both institutions and a beautiful view of the city!
