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....
