What You Will Do
This is our most popular 5-star tour, combining storytelling and sightseeing along the Piscataqua River and Atlantic Ocean. Your guide will lead you out of the big city and along the quiet streets passing by tucked-away historic homes, awe-inspiring architecture, and into Prescott Park next to the Piscataqua River. You’ll be fascinated by the surroundings as your guide shares fascinating stories of the area's rich history. The park was transformed from an 18th-19th-century shipbuilding, fishing port, and red light district into a vibrant cultural waterfront.
Pedal to Four Tree & Pierce Islands passing by 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. We’ll stop at the Common for the best view of the Isle of Shoals and lighthouses. Arrive 30 minutes early for bike fitting bikes, rules of the road and bike safety
