Description:
Your journey begins by pedaling down the length of the Back Bay, observing the transformation of architectural styles and learning what makes this neighborhood one of the most prestigious in Boston. Traveling on to the Back Bay Fens area, bikers will pass by the Victory Garden allotments, the Keller Rose Garden, the Museum of Fine Arts and the unique Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum.
En route to the Charles River Esplanade, riders will see Boston University and Fenway Park, the oldest ballpark in major league baseball and home of the 2004 World Champion Boston Red Sox. A brief peek at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and panoramic views of Boston can be seen from across the river. Pedal past the Hatch Memorial Shell concert pavilion where the Boston Pops Orchestra traditionally plays each Fourth of July.
Travel on to the quaint, quiet, historical neighborhoods of Beacon Hill. From the antique shops on Charles Street to the cobblestones of Acorn Street, Beacon Hill is loaded with charm and character. As you explore Boston, an expert guide will not only point out sights, but will also stop and narrate the history as you travel along.
This tour is suitable for adults of all bike-riding ability, from beginner to expert, and utilizes mostly parks, pathways and streets. This tour is also suitable for children who are competent and responsible bicyclists. *Children must be accompanied by an adult.
