10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!!!My family and I live about a mile from Scenic RailRiders and have been wanting to visit and see what it was all about since they first opened. This year for my husband and my 5th wedding anniversary we decided to finally reserve a spot and check out the trail. It was definitely worth it! We had the perfect fall day and had the best time! The rail bikes are easy to pedal, the staff is very friendly, and as a Concord resident I am happy to have such a wonderful family run business near by! :)

We absolutely loved this wonderful ride! The owners and staff were amazing and took excellent care of us from start to finish! Pedaling was a fun way to get a bit of exercise at a very leisurely pace and the views were outstanding! I would definitely recommend this to everyone young and not so young!

This was the perfect way to get outside and enjoy the scenery - especially on a crisp fall day! This family owned business takes a ton of precautions for Covid-19 and ensures everyone has an enjoyable, safe experience. The bikes are easy to pedal and they do a 5-10 minute introduction so you can feel comfortable and to answer any questions before you take off on your adventure! The route is very scenic and full of beautiful views and history too. A great day trip from Boston. We definitely will be back!

INCREDIBLE!! Absolutely amazing experience, the staff is so friendly, love that its family run. Will definitely be making this a yearly tradition. Very leisurely ride, beautiful views, the dairy farm with the cows is really neat. Highly recommend . Posted on my Instagram and got over 100 messages and comments of people wanting to book, so book now for next year!!

What a great experience! We were looking forward to the outing and it was more than we imagined. Fun, safe, interesting.... Cant wait to do it again and now want to do it in other states!

We had such an amazing time doing this! We went mid October when it was perfect for seeing the fall foliage. I recommend booking a month in advance to when you would like to go because spots are limited and they fill up quickly. We had a great time as this was our first experience.

We had a great time. My adult family tries to do different activities every month or so and this was a great option. We as participants have very different physical ability and personalities, very doable for all without being lame for the high energy people. The journey has a little bit of everything to see along the way plus you get to be social while you experience it. Great value, the staff was excellent.Very much appreciate the local creative low impact use of the land.Thank You. Great Job

This experience was so much fun! We took my husband for his birthday. We lucked out and weather was great. Umbrellas are on the carts in the event of rain. There was a history booklet of things along the trail and that was interesting. The bikes are very easy to pedal. Staff was great! I would highly recommend.

We loved this experience. It was a perfect adventure during Covid. The employees were fantastic. The scenery is beautiful. I have teen and preteen daughters and it’s hard to get them to like the same activity. And they both thought this ride was “so fun”. Great for families. Great for a date. We will absolute be back.

It offers a unique experience but not something I would do frequently. The bikes are well built and easy to use. The service is as expected. The routes are limited to the railroad tracks so you wont be able to see too many interesting things. Overall, it was a fun experience but I wont likely do it again.

Absolutely a great time! 6.4 miles but not difficult at all! 2 seaters and 4 seaters can be linked together!

Jo
Review №16

Very enjoyable and a lot easier to pedal than you might think. I loved the leisurely pace of the whole outing. Didnt feel rushed at all. If I were to give a little feedback for future considerations, I would say I could have used a slightly higher seat back, and a slightly more recumbent positioning. I have already recommended this activity to several people and will continue to do so. Next time I think Ill try it peak foliage season for the best photo ops.

We booked our scenic ride for Fathers day. It was hot and muggy but the Crew from Scenic Railriders made the experience so much fun. My husband enjoyed himself very much. Our boys had an amazing time and I keep getting asked for the details from friends and family.It was a great experience and we will be going back for certain.

My family and I pedaled the rail bikes in the approximately 6 mile old train tracks in Concord, NH. The guides were very informative about the area and the railriders. We fortunate enough to see fall foliage in the area and nice scenery. We had a four seater railrider and it was easy to pedal and brake. Had a great time and recommend the company and will do it again. Also the ride doesn’t feel like you have pedaled that far because you are having a great time.

We had a great experience with the Scenic RailRiders! We were looking for socially distant, Covid friendly outdoor activities that would be fun but also not endangering us. This was a great activity and we had a wonderful time! We will definitely be making this an annual family fall activity!

We had such a great time, we wondered how the bikes were going to be spaced and it was perfect. There was plenty of space between the bikes that you could have a conversation and not hear anyone else and not feeling like you were being pushed down the rails. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Would definitely do this again.

Wonderful, family owned and operated business. We had an amazing experience with both the tour itself and also the interaction with the employees. Everyone was pleasant to talk to, they even went above and beyond to make all the riders feel safe during COVID.

We have gone on the rail trail two years in a row and it’s always a fun time. It is family run and they do a really good job. It’s sells out quickly so make sure to reserve

This trail ride was a surprise trip for my husband to try out. We both enjoy this unique experience. Hes 81 and Im 72 and I was hoping we could make this 6 plus miles adventure. Thankfully it was an absolutely beautiful day and wind helped us along the trail. We certainly will do again with family and friends. Plus staff was super ,,,,,,,,,,,,thank you

This was an interesting activity to do. My only issue was the seats need to have a wider range for adjusting. I am tall and peddling would have been more comfortable if the seat could have been adjusted farther back. The people there were very friendly.

We celebrated our Anniversary with Scenic Railriders! We had a blast riding early morning looking at the beautiful Fall colors. We were amazed how easy it was to peddle the carts. Everyone was super nice and friendly.

Review №32

What a beautiful location for this! The four of us enjoyed the scenery, that the owner had the ingenuity for the bikes, and was present to share this with us how he came up with the idea and built them. Tour guides were fun and courteous. I would have rated this a 5 but when we were peddling through a beautiful area we went past a large statue of a woman that was very old. Someone had taken red paint and threw it on her. It took away the good feeling of the ride and made us angry that theres people that think defacing property is a good thing to do. What was supposed to be a beautiful day turned into something ugly.

My husband and I enjoyed it very much so. The scenery was gorgeous also. Its a fun activity for the entire family , age doesnt matter either.

I loved this but unfortunately I didn’t luck out with the people behind me. They were not keeping a distance to the point where I could hear their whole conversation and they were also loud and obnoxious. Not the companies fault just want to warn people that that may happen. Choose the last seats if you can!

We booked a ride for July 4th. We were all given a small American flag for the occasion That was a very nice, thoughtful touch! The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. They all took social distancing seriously. and made us feel that we were in a very safe environment. The ride was beautiful. We took the 8:30AM ride. Perfect time of day...not too hot! We had the added bonus of watching the Penacook Fourth of July Tractor Parade from the rail tracks on our return leg. It was a wonderful experience and we will bee sure to tell friends and family about it.

This was such a great time. The staff was extremely friendly and the atmosphere was casual. For anyone that is thinking this is hard, its very easy and relaxing. I didnt know they could put a 4 seater and a 2 seater together if you have more than 4 people. Appears you can have as large a group as you want in theory.

We had so much fun on the 6 mile rail ride. Everyone there is awesome, and they work extremely well together. Their covid protocol was great (masks while around others, social distancing, cleaning the bikes between customers, and a wellness questionnaire at checkin). Highly recommend this for a nice outdoor activity for a few hours.

It was a lot of fun. I do recommend everyone try this at least once. It felt a but rushed, but that was just from the people behind us. We were taking our time enjoying the scenery and before I knew it the couple behind us was right behind us. The crew working were very friendly and put no pressure what so ever. I cant wait to go back in the middle of fall.
