Outstanding! Audrey_R, Sep 2023
The entire bike ride was comfortably paced and not rushed, including stopping to get water and a bathroom break. It was scenic from start to finish and very relaxing. Marcus was laid back and passionate regarding the area and history of Portsmouth and New Castle, New Hampshire. Looking over the Piscataqua River to Maine was cool. I will be back for another tour and found a beautiful, scenic park off the beaten path to spend the day at picnicking and watching the boats sail by. Rich in history and beauty!

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!

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!

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 "hill" which wasn't so bad, and extremely doable for even a novice.

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!

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!

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!!

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

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.
