MANAGEMENT-OPERATIONS 

Our tours and routes will bring you the best points of interest in the area. I have traveled around the world trying different bike tours and want to bring the best of the best experiences to you. Our tours are personalized and are meant to be inclusive. We want all of our guests to enjoy the beauty, the scenery, and the history of the area. We’ll show you the best spots to watch the sunset, where to take in an area’s unique history, our favorite restaurants, the best ice cream and the small tucked-away breweries. I'm just asking you to pack your sense of adventure and we'll take care of the rest.

Since 2015, our bike tours have been the core of who we are, and we truly believe that the best way to see a new place is by bicycle! As a tour business, we are constantly trying to perfect our tours and bring you the best possible experience. Our local tour guides are familiar with the area and the streets of the seacoast. Our guides know the best scenic spots, the safest routes, and where to get away from the crowds and cars. We know the hidden and tucked-away places to see the Piscataqua's flowing tides and the best area to see the Atlantic Ocean, Isle of Shoals, forts, and lighthouses. We'll take you by the hidden beaches and the jaw-dropping mansions. We'll take you by the well-preserved historic buildings, and point out the famous historic homes. We'll pedal our way over to New Castle Island to visit the forts and a historic hotel. We love what we do and hopefully, it shows.

We're thrilled each time we take a group of riders out on a tour. We all have a passion and a love for where we live and the work it has taken to preserve our history. Our small team of tour guides live in the area and are experienced riders with a deep love of New Hampshire's history and preservation.

Our team is what makes us stand out. We’re fun, funny (!) friendly people who love to share our own enthusiasm for Portsmouth, and biking on the NH Seacoast. We can also point you towards all the hidden gems on a self-guided tour whether in Portsmouth or the surrounding area.
