"I booked a personal bike tour on Charles River with Adam. He is very accommodating: we waited until the drizzle almost stopped and started biking. Adam brought the bike and took me on a tour around Boston. He is knowledgeable, has great world experience, and is great to talk to. He is a very special person, doing NGO work - worth asking him about! I will definitely book a tour with him again, and also highly recommend you to do so yourself!"
"We had a wonderful bike tour of Boston with Adam this past weekend. The Blue Bikes were easy to use and most of the ride was along protected bike paths and we always felt safe in our travels. We went through Cambridge seeing MIT (the most innovative square mile on the planet and the amazing Frank Gehry building), through Harvard with a fantastic stop at the Fogg Museum of Art, and along the Charles River. We crossed over the river to Boston to a beautiful lagoon with all the trees in blossom. Adam gave us a lot of recommendations for restaurants and other things to see while we were in Boston. It was a great time and we really enjoyed our time with Adam!"
"Seeing the sights along The Charles river from a bicycle is a wonderful experience.
Adam’s route he planned was great . Using the bike paths we were able to go through neighborhoods and the historic universities with no problems.
Adam was a pleasure to be around and made our experience very enjoyable.
Would highly recommend !
