Lovely Afternoon - Donna was our tour guide and she was amazing! Never made us feel rushed and was happy to cater the tour to our interests. We left feeling like we made a new friend in Portsmouth. Hope to cross paths with you again soon, Donna! The bikes were a little small (tallest in our crew is 5”10), hard to avoid pressure on the knees even though the city terrain is not intense.

Scenic private bike tour - We stayed in the area for a short, 1st time visit so wanted to see as much as possible in a short time. Communicated with Dawn and asked her to put together a fast paced private tour combining some of the neighborhood and Island sites so we could see and get a feel for the area. She set us up with Steve, who was the perfect person for us - kept stops and history to a minimum, as requested. He definitely knows the area, kept things interesting for us and things moving along which enabled us to get in exactly what we requested. Would definitely recommend early on during your stay. Good job guys!

Book it! - This is a great way to see a lot of the city and surrounding areas. Our guide, Dawn, was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to share lots of history highlights. If we had more time I think we would have also loved the longer tour down to the coastline.

A must-do when visiting Portsmouth - One of the best bike tours we've been on. Steve (I hope I remembered his name correctly) was a great guide and super knowledgeable about the area. Our one request - water views - and he delivered. We biked out to a little island and to an old inn which was beautiful and may be a future stay. The history of the area is quite intriguing and was fun to learn about while getting in a decent bike ride as well. For anyone not used to biking, the area is relatively flat, except for one "large hill" which wasn't so bad, extremely doable for even a novice.
