Our family had never visited the Poconos area, and I wanted to maximize our experience in the few…read moredays we would be in the region...so I decided to enlist a guide. What a good decision. Tom has quite a few tour options...something for most interests and levels of physical ability. He was quite willing to adapt/customize any of the tours to suit our needs. We did a two day tour combo, going hiking in Hickory Run State Park on the first day and learning about the coal mining history of the area on day two. The coal tour included a trip into an actual mine, a mini-tour of the surrounding communities, and finished up with a bike ride down the old switchback gravity mine car trail. What stood out to me, in addition to the interesting locales we visited, was the passion that Tom has to share the history of this area. He wanted to put the mine tour into the context of what it was like to have actually lived as a miner. He added his own information at the mine tour to what the tour operator told us. He shared about how the topography, geography, and geology all played into the story of the coal industry's history. And the mini-tour of the communities helped us learn about the economic impact (past and present) of the industry. Tom not only displays passion for the history of the region, he is congenial and a good communicator. And he is also very observant of everyone on the tour, doing his best to give individual attention to assure each person as a good experience. I only wish we had more time to learn about other aspects of Jim Thorpe's history. I guess we have something to look forward to on our next visit.

Instead, our guide Tom created a tour and hiking excursion that also told a story with every step. From the history of the town on the street level to an expansive view of the valley from above, Tom made sure every minute was interesting and filled with new information, We left not only informed, but with a feeling of being a part of the community. We can't give a higher recommendation than we can give Tom and JTX.

The staff was incredible -- they struck the perfect balance between sharing interesting history and fun facts while also keeping us safe and comfortable on the ride.

The bikes themselves were comfortable and easy to ride, and the communication throughout the tour made everything flow smoothly. Whether you're a visitor or a lifelong Philadelphian, I can't recommend Philly Bike Tours enough.

It may not have been quite free,…read morebut for the price of a tank of gas we were able to spend a lovely fall day with our closest friends taking the covered bridge tour in beautiful and historic Bucks County PA.. And that seemed among the "best things" to us. So we wanted to post a heads up to others via Yelp about this tour for others who might enjoy it. There are but twelve covered bridges remaining of the original three dozen originally built in Buck's' County Pennsylvania. Thanks to the hard work of some dedicated folks, the twelve that remain are maintained for all of us to enjoy. This driving (or biking) tour will take you to all of them - or some if you prefer not to do the entire tour. For our two bits, this is a great way to spend a day, including a stop at Bowman's Hill Tower to take in the views and the history of that site (it's on the tour path so you're missing out if you don't stop here) and Bowman' Wildlife Preserve. In particular on a beautiful fall day as we did last week. (Both the Tower and Preserve are in New Hope.) The Wildlife Preserve has a picnic area outside the gates so taking along a picnic lunch is a great idea. And inside the gates, there are bathrooms at the visitor center...hooray. See the website posted at the of the page for more info on each of the bridges and the driving map. Another good bridge tor website is located here. http://letsget.com/html/Directory/community/comm_states/comm_counties_pa/comm_ya_bucks/covered_bri.html#TOUR

I don't associate New Jersey with beautiful views filled of farms and rolling hills, so I was pleasantly surprised with how scenic the ride was. I can now see how people fall in love with this place. It literally was a farm to table experience. We rode by a few farms and actually stopped by one of the restaurants where the farm food goes. The tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the ideals of farm to table and eager to make sure I enjoyed my trip. I think this tour has wide ranging appeal. If your looking for a central Jersey bike ride, filled with good views, good food, education about food and where we get it, all while getting some excercise, then this is for you.

We made two stops. The first was to a restaurant/bar who didn't seem thrilled to see us (that's a different review though) and the second on South Street at Fat Tuesdays. Our tour guides were fun and very personable. The group had a great time and we finished at the same place we started, which just happens to be Big Ass Slices Bar and Grill so a friend and I grabbed a slice and a drink. I do wish that there were drinks or snacks provided on the vehicle. It would have made it more personal and enjoyable.

Our tour guides (Jess and Dominic I believe) were awesome and we'd definitely do this again. Tip definitely buy the individual tickets ! Not worth it to pay for the whole bike at $375. We all bought the individual for $31 each with 5 of us and we still had the bike to ourselves. Lucky break I guess.
