Thinking of gifting the Portsmouth Historic Bike Tour – thoughts?

I’m considering this bike tour in Portsmouth for my parents' anniversary. They love history and biking! I saw it includes a ride by the Piscataqua River and Little Harbor, which sounds scenic. Just wondering if it’s worth it and how the guides are? Also, do they provide helmets? Any tips for first-timers?

Just did the Portsmouth Bike Tour!

I just got back from the bike tour and I had a blast! The architecture is breathtaking, and we even stopped at the Wentworth Coolidge Mansion. I was a bit worried about the hills, but it wasn’t too hard. Totally recommend it for anyone who likes a mix of exercise and history. I’d definitely do it again!
