A 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

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!!

We 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!
