Best to visit of Portsmouth, NH - Morning ride on the first day. Really nice to see some of the smaller islands and get sense of small towns and bay views. Paul, the guide, is a local and did great job telling history along with anecdotes. Added some humor and happy to answer questions,even on a good lunch spot! Bikes were well maintained and comfy with handle bar bags for water and essentials. Highly recommend.

HIGHLY Recommend—even for non-bike riders - Paul, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and personable. I went solo and ended up meeting four lovely ladies who also did the tour. I’m not a regular bike rider, but would highly recommend this experience. Loved it! Thanks, Paul!

Lovely way to spend a Saturday morning - We (2 adults + 14 year old) really enjoyed our tour of Portsmouth and the Harbor Islands, which are absolutely beautiful and are probably missed by many (if not most) visitors to Portsmouth. New Castle Island in particular was a spectacular New England village. Beyond the scenery, the bike ride was very nice — leisurely pace but not super slow. Lots of stops along the way at which our guide, Dawn, conveyed interesting history and funny stories about what we were seeing. She had a very nice way about her and she was a helpful guide along the roadways. All in all, I’m really glad we booked this tour. Highly recommended as a nice way to spend a beautiful Saturday morning and get a little outside the main downtown/tourist areas of Portsmouth.
