I had the good fortune to take this tour on Sunday 4th April. I had taken the Boston City tour the previous day and my review applies to both tours. Brand new quality easy to ride bikes. Great friendly staff both in the store and the guides. The cycling pace was perfect for a group of mixed ability cyclists - a gentle pace that enabled us to appreciate all the sights. Guides were extremely knowledgeable friendly and appeared to enjoy the tours as much as the guests. Can not say which tour was best, Boston was a little more congested with a little traffic but nothing scary, and lots to take in. Cambridge was less congested and less built up with lots of off road riding through Harvard and along the Charles river. Give these tours a go - you will not be disappointed.

We had an awesome tour with Charles, our resident Bostonian tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of Boston and the Cambridge area that our bicycle tour went through. He rode at a great pace to see everything we hoped to see and more. Thanks Charles!!!
