Discover what we've curated for you
Urban AdvenTours delivers exactly what Boston visitors want: an engaging way to see the city while getting exercise and local insight. The guided bike tours consistently earn praise for knowledgeable, safety-conscious guides like Costa, Jonathan, Austin, and Charles who share both historical facts and personal stories at strategic stops throughout the city. Reviewers love how much ground they cover in 2-3 hours, hitting major sights while discovering details they'd miss on foot. The quality bikes come with baskets for your stuff, and the shop happily stores larger items like backpacks and luggage. Beyond tours, they offer bike rentals and same-day repair services that customers describe as reasonably priced and helpful. You'll want to be a confident cyclist since the routes navigate busy Boston streets with frequent stops and starts. One troubling review raises concerns about discriminatory treatment toward customers of color, which stands in stark contrast to the otherwise overwhelmingly positive feedback about friendly, accommodating staff. Most visitors call this their favorite Boston activity and the best way to get oriented in the city, with bonus points for the free photos guides share after tours.
I first visited Boston in 2017 and did the Emerald Necklace and came back to Boston in 2025 and had to do another tour with this company, this time the city tour. The routes take you around all the key points of the city. The guides are so knowledgeable and take care of you when moving around the city. They are also willing to pass on tips on places to go around the city. Highly recommended A further update to my review, the photos that were taken by the guides of the group and shared for free via email after the trip is a lovely addition. Thanks!
