Monuments and Memorials you will see on this Evening Bike Tour:
I was not able to use my Night Bike Tour reservation primarily because I had a hand injury and even though I called 2 days in advance I was still charged. When I called the D.C. office they said it was out of their control. That is a despicable way to do business. I plan to utilize my 1600 Facebook friends to denigrate this company as much as possible.

Our guide was outstanding! Very knowledgeable, personable, capable. He had a remarkable treasure trove of knowledge about DC, American history and the monuments and memorials. It was a beautiful evening -- which helped -- and the equipment was all in good condition and as advertised. My four granddaughters aged 14-15 and I aged 70 all had a great time. Although I've lived in DC for almost 50 years, and have visited the Mall many times, I learned a lot last night.

Great experience, with a knowledgeable guide and easy cycling.
Review by: Robert M, August 2017
The trip was highly informative and there is no better way to see the monuments than by bicycle. The guide was engaging and fun and highly knowledgeable. Despite a brief thunderstorm, he kept the tour going and timed it so that shelter was available . I went on the tour with friends and I look forward to taking this tour again with my family.

This was the highlight of our girls trip to DC. It is magical to see the monuments at night. Skip daytime and go at night. _br/_ Absolutely loved every minute of this trip. All 6 of us agreed this was the 1 best thing we did in DC. Don't miss it!
Review by: Adam F, July 2017
This time we had a very knowledgeable guide, Cameron, who was also very upbeat. It was crazy hot, even at night, so I'd recommend taking extra water if you go when it's in the upper 80's-90's

We really enjoyed this bike tour, especially our 11 year old. Great way to visit many of the memorials. We stopped at the Jefferson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, MLK, Jr., Korean, Vietnam, Lincoln, WWII and the Washington monuments. The group we rode with was a little large so sometimes it was hard for the entire group to make it across intersections all together. But the tour guide was good about stopping to make sure everyone was keeping up and together. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. My family would definitely like to do something like this again.

Good way to get your bearings. Very informative (maybe more so for us foreigners not familiar with US history). Monuments/memorials look great around dusk!

This was a great tour, even if it did rain the whole time. I was not aware of the time change meaning it was not dark, but our guide Sam was knowledgable and fun.

Great! Our knowledgeable guide Zac handled his bicycle smoothly and with aplomb.
Review by: Lisa W, October 2016
This tour was amazing! Our guide, Chase, did a fantastic job. Riding the bikes is the only way to go. No traffic, no waiting, ride straight to the site or door! The lights at night were beautiful! No crowds! It was not tiring at all! Highly recommend this!
Review by: Jackie B, October 2016

Review by: Angela U, September 2016
We LOVED this night bike tour! Allison was so informative and was a fabulous guide! Memorials are so much better to see at night too! This has been our highlight in DC!! Best way to see ALL the monuments.

Our tour guide, Tujon was excellent. He provided great trivia, proper respect for memorials and sights, cared for the skill levels and safety for everyone on the group tour. There was plenty of time to take a quick view at the monuments up close before moving on to the next one. I'd recommend this tour first, then going back to see favorite sights in detail later. The bike ride after dark was a GREAT way to beat the summer DC heat!
Review by: Iris B, September 2016
Relaxing quick way to view the monuments. Tour guide Lexie was very kind and fun. Great experience.

Such a great way to see the monuments. Our guide Chris was fantastic. So much knowledge on the meanings of the monuments that was very insightful.
Review by: Jswong714, August 2016
The only way to see all of the monuments is on this trip. We lucked out and had great weather so it wasn't too hot. The night time views are amazing. Pace is great course is relatively flat and easy to ride. This is great for the whole family. Our guide, Barrett, was awesome and completely knowledgeable. This is a must-do if you are in Washington!
Review by: CAROLYN P, August 2016
The tour locations and guide Sam rate 5...THAT SAID, we had to keep stopping and waiting...and waiting....and waiting for a family that had a small child who was very very slow. Also we kept waiting ...and waiting.... for everyone to get thru the light. You cold easily separate by age and also make groups smaller to accommodate street crossings in one fell swoop. I could not actually pay for another tour because it was just to stop-and-state not the guide's fault. I would simply buy those vests and duplicate the tour myself.
Review by: Thomas E K, July 2016
Great way to see the key sights!
Review by: Dorothy P, July 2016
Our guide was great. The tour was appropriate for all the kids aged 12-17 and the adults. Really made the monuments more meaningful. The highlight activity of our trip to DC. We would highly recommend.

Thought this was an excellent way to see Washington. We booked the tour early into our holiday, and so could get our bearings. Chase was really knowledgeable, giving us time to have a quick look round each of the key stops we made.

excellent tour and most informative guide

An excellent tour and really informative without being over the top in terms of details. Evening time is perfect, not so busy and the temperature bearable. The tour was as enjoyable for our kids picky teenagers as it was for us.

Eddy was terrifically good at leading and educating. Turned out to be a lovely tour.

We had a blast! The cool late summer evening was perfect for a bike ride and it was a great way to see all the monuments. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and just a nice guy. I would book again through Viator.

Safely went to many historical sites. Guide gave lots of information. Had three grandchildren with me preteen and teens plus over 60 grandmother and we all managed just fine.
Review by: Steven C, September 2015
Our family of six had a great time on this tour. Our guide was very informative and gave us good ideas for further touring on our own during the rest of our stay. This was a perfect tour for our active family, and we especially enjoyed the aspect that it was at night. The bikes were in excellent condition and the ride was not difficult at all.
