Great easy ride through DC. Lots of fun! Departure spot was a bit challenging to find, but staff was super helpful.

This was a great tour! We learned a lot about the sights in DC. We bypassed all the traffic. This was way better than walking because you could cover more ground. The guide shared quite a bit of history and information. Very enjoyable!

This was my first trip to DC. It was a great way to get a good idea of what to see in a short period of time. Lots to see and do. Great tour.

We really enjoyed our time on this tour. Our guide was fantastic! We had done other tours and thought about canceling this one and are so glad we didn't. Each tour has its own twist and tidbits that are shared we learned something new each time. It was an excellent way to see the area.

The tour was the right length and Jay was extremely informative I lived here several years and explored everywhere, but I learned new things on the tour. There was one thing I missed from previous years. I took this tour two years ago and we were allowed to ride on the sidewalks down Pennsylvania Avenue, and we could stop at the FBI Building and learn about the building's construction and flags, at the Newseum and take a picture of the Berlin Wall piece through the window, and at Navy Memorial and the Japanese Internment Camp memorial. Now, however, bikes go down the bike lane in the center of Pennsylvania Avenue and you miss those sites. That is something that the bike tour can't help, so if you get the chance on your own, go see those sites.

This tour was perfect! My friends and I went in October 2016 and we loved it. Definitely the best way to learn/see most of the iconic places in Washington.

Excellent experience and our tour James G. guide was great. The staff was very accommodating when I ran into Metro issues getting to the starting point. I was late, but they gladly rescheduled me for the following day. Lot of fun and I highly recommend it.

This tour was amazing! Myself and my 3 kids went on a sunset tour around to the different monuments. They can and #39;t stop talking about it! Our tour guide was very informative and personable. The three hours was definitely worth our time.

Great tour and the bike shop people were wonderful. Our guide was great but we expected her to know more details and have more stories of the monuments. There were other guides leaving with other groups, perhaps they were more detailed. This is a great way to get to know the city; upon arrival is be

This was such fun and the guide was so personable and informative. It is truly the best way see the monuments. The biking is easy and gentle. I and #39;m a 52 yr old empty nest mom who is not in perfect condition but I did it with ease. So pleasant. I was alone so I met the other bikers when we began.

Review by:   Jill M L,    May 2016 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
My flight arrived at 9am in DC, and I went straight to the 10am bike tour with time to spare. This tour was a fantastic way to see a LOT in a few hours. The biking was comfortable, and our guide Andy was knowledgeable. The weather even cooperated, which certainly helped! My only wish was that we could swing closer to the white house on our trip.
 

Review by:   Jenny A,    May 2016 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
Fantastic way to get orientated to the city, in which the monuments are well spread out. On a bike, they are easy to get to and of course, the guide makes all the difference by adding to your knowledge with his witty repartee. Thank you Andy for the history and anecdotes.

Really good informative tour of all the museums and top places of interest. Ride was easy, no big hills. Highly recommended.
 

Review by:   David R,    April 2016 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
Great way to see D.C. We did the 3 hour bike tour the first day we arrived with the option for a free bike rental the next day. A perfect way to get the lay of the land, then the next day we had bikes to go back see each site at our own pace. Bikes are the BEST way to travel.....we passed tour buses stuck in traffic and zipped by tired walkers.
 

Review by:   Birgit J,    January 2016 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
This was the most fun we had in our five-day stay in DC. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, the biking was pleasant, each stop was sufficiently long, and we just exactly what we wanted to visit. The only suggestion might be to quickly introduce the different parties -- these are the Compteurs from France and Eli is from Israel, etc -- so that the group has some cohesion.
 

Review by:   amberland,    October 2015 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
LOVED this tour, the guide Emily was really friendly and full of facts about the city. It was easy to cycle around Washington, there was only one hill up to the Capitol Building, the rest was flat. A really good few hours spent learning about Washington!

Michael was awesome! The others in the group did not show so ended up having a wonderful private tour. Doing this tour your first day in DC is the way to go.
 

Review by:   Liselotte H,    September 2015 Review: 4 star rating: Recommended
We spent a very good moment discovering most treasures of the city. The two guides were competent and kind ready to answer any question. Besides, the weather was perfect for a bicycle ride. I strongly recommend for a first stay in the capital.

This tour was well organized, highly informative and ran on schedule. There's not a lot of real biking involved but a great and easy way to see all the monuments. The bikes are first rate and our guide was terrific too!
 

Review by:   Eileen B,    September 2015 Review: 4 star rating: Recommended
Emily was great--she really knew her way around. Hit many many monuments/memorials, stopping almost too often--but that's what you get on the National Mall! Plenty of time to walk around each stop where appropriate. A very easy ride since the area around the Mall is pretty flat, except for Capitol Hill--which really is a bit of a hill!
 

Review by:   sandra k,    September 2015 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
We appreciated a lot. It was fantastic and it's probably the best way to visit Washington.
 

Review by:   Damian D,    September 2015 Review: 4 star rating: Recommended
This is a great way to get a taste of the sites in D.C. If you are in D.C. for an extended stay, I would recommend doing this early on so you get a sense of what areas you might want to revisit the tour doesn't allow a lot of time at each site, which is understandable since you only have 3 hours to essentially tour the entire National Mall.

Review by:   Joan C,    August 2015 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
It was a fantastic way to tour the city - we visited many major landmarks and biking definitely trumps walking, especially in the summer. The bike came with a front bag which was incredibly handy, and we got bottled water and a snack as well. The tour guide was lovely and friendly, and could answer most of my questions. This tour definitely makes me think that bike tours are all the rage for future trips to a new city!

This was a really fun and informative venture. The tour was organized and professional from check in to returning. Our guide Allison was very informative about all the sites and also fun. Plus it was a good little work out, not strenuous but refreshing. Highly recommend at the beginning of your visit if you are a first timer like me as you get acquainted with the sites.

We have been to DC before, but wanted to see more by bicycle. We even had time to stop at several memorials and monuments, and walk around. Chase was great. We learned a great deal. We would do it again. Great value and a wonderful time!
 

Review by:   Lane J,    May 2015 Review: 3 star rating: Worth doing
From expierence, bike tours are the best way to orient yourself to a city and get basic facts about a lot of attractions. We were a small group and were able to do more than a larger group but still didn't cover as much as I had expected for a 3 hour tour. Most of your time is spent at memorials.
