Overview

On this tour, you’ll cross the Charles River and enter the City of Cambridge. Renowned as one of America’s most bicycle-friendly cities, you will experience the atmosphere and appeal of Cambridge as only possible on two wheels. Touted as “Boston’s Left Bank,” Cambridge is a hotspot of arts, technology, and academia.

This extensive tour, specifically designed to provide you with the overall experience of Cambridge, includes:
• Harvard Square, the heart of America’s oldest university
• Central Square, a vibrant center of music and culture
• The beautiful Charles River
• The Stata Center, Frank Gehry’s only building in Massachusetts
• MIT, The Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The tour is 2.5-3 hours long and covers 11-13 miles. From the cycling paths on the Charles River to the booming industry of Kendall Square, this tour will show you the most exciting and vibrant parts of Cambridge!

If you are 16 years or older, you may chose to tour on E-bike (select E-bike in checkout).

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
