Great Bike Tour
Review of: PortCity Bike Tours
What a great way to spend two hours! Really enjoyed the bike tour that included beautiful sites, interesting history and great exercise. Our tour guide, Steve, knew just when to stop to either point out something of interest or give us a break. We got to see some out of the way areas that you wouldn't normally see by car or foot. Well worth the time!

BEST PART OF OUR TRIP
This was our first time to Portsmouth and we could not be happier with this tour! Paul was amazing as a tour guide and getting to see the local streets in New Castle was priceless! They give just enough history to keep it interesting but not boring! We had all ages in our group and they were very conscientious of everyone's surroundings! It is a must see on your Portsmouth trip!

A must-do when visiting Portsmouth
One of the best bike tours we've been on. Steve (I hope I remembered his name correctly) was a great guide and super knowledgeable about the area. Our one request - water views - and he delivered. We biked out to a little island and to an old inn which was beautiful and may be a future stay. The history of the area is quite intriguing and was fun to learn about while getting in a decent bike ride as well. For anyone not used to biking, the area is relatively flat, except for one "large hill" which wasn't so bad, extremely doable for even a novice.
Best way to see the area!

I had a great experience! Paul, our tour guide, was very interactive and knowledgeable. He made the experience so much better. The pace was perfect.
Worth it!

Review of: 2-Hour Best of Portsmouth & New Castle Island Sightseeing Tour. Guided Narrated.
This was an amazingly well organized, fun, educational, beautiful tour. From the moment that we scheduled it, the folks at Portcity communicated well with us, told us what we needed to bring, wear, where to park for free and more. What a well oiled operation. The tour itself was a pretty easy ride with stops along the way to learn about the history of the area and enjoy the spectacular views. Overall, we went 10 miles in 2 hours. It was very relaxed, Beth, our guide was awesome. We highly recommend and we will do more tours in the future!
Super knowledgeable tour guide!

Our tour was so much fun! I'm not usually too interested in history, but learning about the town on this tour was so much fun! Our tour guide was so enthusiastic about his info! The ride was uphill at times so it did take a little work!

Dawna was wonderful as a guide! Very informative tour about the town of Portsmouth. Beautiful area, and was very safety conscious with me and my husband. We had an awesome time! Would do again.

We did the Islands and Harbor tour. It was a great experience and not too challenging for myself as an occasional bike rider. Great sights with interesting history mixed in. Would definitely recommend as a fun way to explore Portsmouth.

Our guide, Paul, was very informative of the area. He was considerate of the cycling abilities of all three of the riders. He kindly offered to take a couple photos as I was a solo traveller. His love of the area shows in his eagerness to share it with others. What a great morning!!

Great way to see Portsmouth! We thought the 2 hour tour was the perfect length of time. Dawn was very informative and gave great recommendations in the area. She was also really good with making sure the whole group was together and very considerate. I highly recommend checking this out!

Had communication with the owner Dawn, when I booked and she was full of great recommendations for Portsmouth. On the day of our ride Vinny took us and he was a great guide. Filled with local information and just the right amount. Felt very safe at all times. Two hour ride flew by. Highly recommend to see the area this way

If you're visiting Portsmouth, a PortCity Bike tour is a MUST.
We took a 2 hour ride around Portsmouth and some of the surrounding islands. Our guides, Dawn and Vinny, we're fantastic! This ride was great for recreational riders like ourselves. The pace was relaxed and the frequent stops to hear all about the area made this an amazing way to get to know Portsmouth. The 2 hours and 8-1/2 miles goes by in a snap. And now we get to gorge on lunch guilt free!
Thanks PortCity! You were amazing!

We really enjoyed our 2-hour Island and Harbor tour around historic sites in Portsmouth and New Castle. It was our first time in the area, and a great way to learn about the history and see the sights, while getting exercise and enjoying the beautiful and unique scenery. The tour includes a 21-speed bike and helmet and is a great value and fun way to explore the area. We learned a lot and had fun!

We had the pleasure of having Jason as our tour guide. The first portion of the trip was filled with fun historical facts, stories and attention was given to the different types of architecture prominent in the city. Then we headed out to the islands. Jason made sure we were aware of every bump, incline and possible traffic challenge. It was so much fun to see all of the small villages and be guided through the back streets. We left knowing so much more about the city and happy to have be able to bike 10 miles like a local.
