From Pedals to Pavement: Seasonal Shift to Walking Tours: November Thru March
As the vibrant days of summer begin to wind down, we're trading in our wheels for walking shoes! After an incredible season of bike tours through Portsmouth’s scenic streets and coastal paths, we’re excited to slow the pace and bring our tours to the heart of the city on foot. Starting November 1st, our guided walking tours will take center stage — offering a more intimate and immersive way to experience the charm and history of Market Square and beyond.
Why the switch?
We love Portsmouth and cannot get enough of it! Bike tours are a perfect fit for the warmer months, giving us the freedom to cover lots of ground and enjoy the breeze along the waterfront. But as the air turns crisp and the leaves start to fall, there’s something special about walking through the historic streets, taking time to appreciate the architecture, stories, and local culture — step by step.
What’s New This Season?
-
Walking Tours from 12:00-2:00 PM
-
Focus on Market Square, Prescott Park, South End, hidden alleyways, and historic landmarks
-
Smaller groups for a more personal experience
-
Local guides, storytelling and historic must-see sites
Whether you're a returning guest from a summer ride or new to our tours, we can’t wait to show you Portsmouth in a whole new way — one step at a time.
What to Expect:
Expert Guides – Our knowledgeable and friendly guides bring the route to life with fascinating stories, history, and insider tips.
