Islands and Harbor Bike Tour
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rupal M July 2025-- TripAdvisor Reviewer
"We had the most amazing experience with Port City Bike Tours! The company was super professional and when we arrived at our meeting point, the owner welcomed us and introduced us to our tour guide. Our bikes were ready and waiting for us, complete with vests to wear and helmets et all.
The tour was spectacular as we rode through streets of Portsmouth and enjoyed riding alongside the waterfront. We learnt so much about the rich history of Portsmouth."
