Enjoyed exploring the Portsmouth area and learning its history by bike. Especially enjoyed the stop at the memorial erected in honor of the burial ground for black residents of Portsmouth, which is now part of the much larger black heritage trail in the US.

What a wonderful way to see and learn about Portsmouth and new castle. Steven was our guide and he made it so fun. A fun ride through the streets and over bridges stopping along the way to learn some history and fun facts about the area. We thoroughly enjoyed this and highly recommend. The 2 hours went by too fast!

The tour was a lot of fun and provided a good overview of the town of Portsmouth. I would like to have one more day to visit the Strawberry Banke and a few other places we were introduced to while riding ! THis is a great alternative to the bus tours
