Sit back and relax while you enjoy a personalized tour of Boston's best sites from the comfort of a pedicab. See Freedom Trail sites without all the walking. Enjoy bypassing Boston's infamous traffic on a nimble bike taxi with access to bike lanes and trails tour buses can only dream of.
Tours are led by Rachel, a licensed pedicab driver with 16 years experience and a passionate collector of facts and stories about Boston.
All tours are private and customizable within the allotted time and service area. Common customization requests include different pick up/drop off points, stops for photos, or adding/omitting certain areas based on interest, and bathroom/snack breaks. Please message me to confirm the feasibility of special requests and itinerary changes. Need a different time? Send me a message.
Pets small enough to ride in your lap are welcome to join you.
Tours happen rain or shine and pedicabs are open to the elements. Please dress for the weather.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
The standard route is a loop with pick up and drop off at the Boylston St entrance to the Prudential Building at 800 Boylston St. However, tours are private and customizable and can be started and ended at most points in the Back Bay, Fenway, South End, North End, Downtown, or Seaport neighborhoods. For example, guests sometimes request to be picked up or dropped off at a particular hotel, parking garage, train station, restaurant, etc. I can often often accommodate these requests with advance notice by altering the tour route to include your desired pick up/drop off points. Please message me to discuss the feasibility of a desired pick up/drop off if it differs from my standard location of 800 Boylston.
Meet at the Boylston St entrance to the Prudential Center at 800 Boylston. This entrance is encased in glass and shares the same plaza as Eataly and Tesla.
