We had a fantastic experience on this bike tour. Our 2 guides (ex Boston school teachers) were great! They have lived in the city their whole lives so the passion and history exuded from them. We saw all the highlights and more! Very unforgettable day and the best way to get an entire overview of Boston. Will absolutely take this tour again in the future.

E-bike tour was great but don’t expect any bottled water that they say is included. Also, don’t expect them to honor the advertised water bottle. I realize Covid changed things, but update your website! The tour guides were awesome.

So sorry, Anna! Yes, covid did change a few of our practices and our (actual) website was updated, as were the inclusions that I am able to control on Viator. Unfortunately, there was one place that we missed and it has now been updated. I'm glad that ultimately you enjoyed your tour on E-bike. Thank you for joining us!
