Overview

Get ready for our most exciting sightseeing bike tour and a great way to discover the best of Portsmouth and New Castle, NH. Your expert guide will lead you out of Market Square, along the quiet streets of Portsmouth, passing by tucked-away historic homes, and into the beautiful Prescott Park next to the Piscataqua River. You will be captivated by the beautiful surroundings as your guide shares fascinating stories of the area's rich history. This area has been transformed from an 18th and 19th-century shipbuilding port and fishing village into a vibrant waterfront of arts, food, and music.
From here, you will pedal to Four Tree and Pierce Islands passing by picturesque inlets, gardens, and lush parks, before riding to the charming Island of New Castle. You will pedal through the Island where the preserved 18 - 19th century homes appear to be stuck in time. Pedal to Great Island Common for more sightseeing of parks and forts before heading back. Arrive 30 min. before tour start time.

Beautiful route on a gorgeous day! Paul was an informative, friendly and informed guide. Minimal hills made for a comfortable ride for this 66 year-old.
