BOSTON · CYCLING TOURS
Good cycling tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride 10 to 12 miles through Boston with guides such as Austin, Bob, Costa, and Ken, passing Fenway Park, Copley Square, the North End, and the Charles River. Choose a hybrid bike or pedal assist e-bike. Expect city streets, bike paths, history, and practical restaurant tips.
“Great tour. Saw lots of neighbourhoods and found out about each of them. Great route along the river. Guides were super helpful and friendly.”
Ride with a local guide from Boston’s North End through the Charlestown Navy Yard, past the USS Constitution and Museum of Science, along the Charles River, through MIT, and to the Esplanade and Rose Kennedy Greenway. Guides such as Gary and Austin add history, sports, and architecture facts.
“Super bike ride, Gary was an excellent guide, this was the highlight of our day! Would highly recommend very professional company!”
Pick up a comfort hybrid bike, helmet, lock, and map at Urban AdvenTours on Atlantic Avenue. You get up to 24 hours to ride from the waterfront to the North End, Beacon Hill, the Charles River, and Fenway Park, with flexible pickup times and a mobile ticket.
“The streets are covered with construction equipment and the bike lanes are filled also. You have to ride in the lane of traffic and cars don't really look after you. Several times I didn't think I was going to make it home. After you get through the traffic and get on the bike lanes by the Charles River, it is safe. Do not recommend this trip as you cant see anything because you are constantly watching for cars.”
Pick up a lightweight Kona Dew hybrid bike at Urban AdvenTours on Atlantic Avenue and set your own Boston route. Your rental includes a helmet, lock, lights, map, and handlebar bag. Staff can suggest routes, and child seats and trailers are available.
“Très sympas de se balader à Boston en vélo.”
Pick a walk, a hull, a plate or a ghost story.
