Offered in: English

This is our most popular 5-star tour, combining storytelling and sightseeing along the Piscataqua River and Atlantic Ocean while traveling from Island to Island. Your guide will lead you out of the city and along the quiet streets passing by tucked-away historic homes, awe-inspiring architecture, and into Prescott Park next to the Piscataqua River. Your guide shares fascinating stories of the area's rich history, and preserved architecture. Prescott Park was transformed from an 18th-19th-century shipbuilding, fishing port, and red light district into a waterfront park.

Your guide will lead you to Four Tree & Pierce Islands passing by more gardens and parks, for some picture-perfect views of the pristine Piscataqua River before riding to the Island of New Castle with preserved 17th-19th century homes that appear to be stuck in time, but meticulously preserved. Stop at the Great Island Common for the most dramatic view. Arrive 30 minutes early to get your bike. Some hills and 10 miles.
