Worthy but challenging for in-experienced bikers

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and also safety minded when I was having some difficulty in managing a 7-speed bicycle, not having experience with that kind of bike. Tour guide adapted the route but still kept our interest for the full scheduled time.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Thank you for the review and providing your recommendations. As the tour description states, our guests must know how to ride a multi-speed bike and know how to navigate through streets and along trails. We would like to extend an apology and invite you back for a private tour that's a more go-with-the-flow type tour. Thanks again for taking the time to write a review.

We had an absolutely fabulous time on the Island and harbor bike tour! It was such a lovely way to spend the afternoon! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Portsmouth. In addition, she was friendly and funny too. We learned so much about the history of Portsmouth, saw some beautiful sights we wouldnt have seen otherwise , had a great ride and had lots of laughs throughout the afternoon. Our tour ended up being over 3 hours (she made sure none of us had to be back for anything). We could have spent the entire day on this tour. Truly an AMAZING experience! We are scheduled for the city tour tomorrow and cannot wait!
