A Must!!! - We had the best bike tour with Port City Bike Tours, and our guide, Donna, was absolutely amazing. She was a wealth of knowledge about Portsmouth’s history and shared so many interesting stories along the way. She was also a fantastic cyclist and made the entire experience fun and enjoyable. We agreed that this bike tour was truly one of the highlights of our stay in Portsmouth. Donna was also kind enough to share some wonderful restaurant recommendations, and they did not disappoint! Thank you, Donna, and Port City Bike Tours, for such a memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back!

I was a little reluctant going into it because I honestly never bike, but it ended up being so much fun and much easier than I expected. Marcus made me feel completely comfortable and more than capable the entire time. It was such a fun way to explore the city and a great experience to share with my son. Highly recommend, even if you’re not normally a cyclist!

Great way to see Portsmouth - Portsmouth is a gem of a place: combines beautiful architecture and scenery, some seaport/harbor grittiness, lots of historical significance, and walkability/bikability. Donna was a terrific guide, with lots of enthusiasm and obvious love for the city. She also provided some nuanced perspective to local and colonial history. Excellent value for the money, good exercise, too.
