Rude and disrespectful staff

1.00Absolutely rude and disrespectful staff! I am trying to speak to them respectfully about the prices of their bike tours and rentals. The staff member tells me my questions are inappropriate because this is a privately owned company. I am not from the Boston area and want to learn more about their bike services, programs, and if they offer discounts. He is angry and hangs up on me before I finish my sentence. Wow, I have no idea how they get such positive reviews. I would stay away from such a terrible company!
Highly recommended

4.00I really appreciated the time the gentleman took with me to get my seat at the correct height. They also were able to give me a city style bike, which helped me with my disability. The map was great and was just what I needed for my 20 mile ride. The only thing I would recommend is that they help with the helmets in getting them to fit better. Mine was sliding all over the place and I didn't want to take the time to make it fit better.
Great self-guided multiday bike trip on Cape Cod
Robin M,Jun 29, 2021
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We rented two hybrid bikes and took them on the ferry to Provincetown. From there we rode to Hyannis (two days) mostly on the Cape Cod Rail Trail. From our Hyannis base we spent a day each riding around on Nantucket and Martha's Vinyard (ferry over in the morning and back in the evening). Then we rode back to Provincetown via Chatham. The folks at Urban Adevn Tours were great, they ensured we were set up for a multiday ride and accommodated our various needs (we brought our own saddles and bike computers) They also kept our small carry on luggage while we rode. getting and returning the bikes was seamless and friendly. The bikes were also top quality hybrids for a multiday ride and were trouble free. They came with front bags and racks for panniers. Cape Cod is great for self guided biking with lots of places to stay and eat.
Our Rough Morning Turned Into An Amazing Tour Of Boston!

5.00I was very impressed with how they accommodated all of our special requests. We rented a tour guide so that all 7 of us could ride our own bikes through the city for our 3 hour tour. We had a rough morning when our keys were locked in the car and we were not able to make it to our 9:30 tour. Instead our tour did not leave until 12. We all loved our guide Jacob. We also appreciated Andrew helping us make our last minute changes happen so that we really enjoyed our time in Boston!
Biking Boston

5.00My wife and I enjoy biking and wanted to incorporate it into our vacation. Urban AdvenTours outfitted us with great quality hybrid bikes at a reasonable price and went over some possible routes. We originally thought we'd just cycle the Charles River Esplanade (Cambridge side a little rough), but the locks and cable provided made it easy for us to expand it to a leisurely 6 hour day to include visiting Fenway Park and the USS Constitution, and having lunch - much easier than trying to walk or drive all around and pay for parking. We highly recommend it and will be back next time we're in Boston.
Best Bikes in Boston!
EmmatheTravelDilemma,Jul 13, 2019

5.00I went with my family to Urban Adventours, and as a family with three teenage girls, I was skeptical at how this would go. However, I can assure you this is the best place in Boston to get your bikes. They have bikes for everyone, helmets that you can adjust to your comfort, and they take the time to adjust your bike and helmet for you before sending you off. You can choose a guided tour, or just take the bike for the day. We just took the bike for the day and we were off! They give every adult a lock with their bike, and the lovely basket that's in the front of the bike comes with a built-in map of the city and it's bike paths. The bikes are amazing, comfortable for every level of biker, and come with hydraulic brakes and gears that are easy to manage. The people there were fantastic and put up with the demands of all three teenagers, and at the end of our bike ride we came back with tired legs and huge smiles. I would recommend this to any group or family looking for a wonderful way to see Boston.
Boston on a Bike!

5.00Nothing beats exploring Boston on a bike! We had one day for a quick look-see of the city, and Boston Bike Rental was quick and efficient in hooking us up, giving us a map and a guideline of what to see, in what order and answered our questions perfectly. It made our 5 hours in Boston very fun!

A very poor exit

1.00She’s disappointed: bad bikes (flat for the first kilometre), a boring route all along the highway and an absent staff made this afternoon shabby. I am surprised by the number of good reviews, while I prefer to forget about this company and Andrew, the manager who does not care whether you had a good time or not.
