      Take this tour. Highly recommend.
      Excellent way to see many monuments and buildings around the mall. Bikes and helmets were decent. Our guide, Mary, was excellent. She is a local who clearly explained the history, meaning and nuances of the area.

      Monumental Bike Tour - 9+ stops in 3 hours
      Super fun way to see all of the major monuments and get your bearings in Washington DC. Allegra did a great job sharing the history and background of each monument and then leading us for short rides in between. We were even able to work in a bonus stop to see Einstein along the way!! Perfect for couples and families.

      A great way to see DC
      A great way to see DC. This tour ticked off all the highlights of DC. The ride was easy with lots of stops to hear from our guide about the monument we were at. Lots of water and bathroom stops were built in to the trip too. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and as there was only 2 of us on the trip we were able to ask lots of questions and find out exactly what we wanted to know. Bikes were easy to ride and well maintained and included a small handlebar bag as well as a drinks bottle holder. The only improvement to the trip would have been to do a quick bike fit first as the seats weren’t at the right height and we have to adjust ourselves and then rush to catch up with the guide at the start of the trip.

      Rush not much fuss
      Our guide was nice and may have been full of knowledge, but it’s unclear because we were so rushed to go through the different stops, we didn’t get a ton of info about the monuments. I would recommend saving your $65 and spend $45 on renting the bike for the entire day and explore the monuments at your own pace.

      Great bike tour of Washington DC area. Joe was entertaining and knowledgeable. This was a great way to get around some of the best sights we wanted to see. The lights at night made the experience so fun!

      Good to Do Early in Your Trip ….
      A highly recommended tour to do early in your trip as it gives you a good understanding of how the monuments are laid out and what ones to go back to again for another look. Joe was an excellent tour leader and kept everyone in order and on track. Covered a lot of ground but not to strenuous.

    We had a wonderful time on our tour. Although we're experienced cyclists, we chose ebikes, which made the trip especially easy. David was a great tour guide, courteous and helpful, and gave just the right amount of information. He also quickly and efficiently helped an orphaned group of cyclists from the same vendor.

    Although this tour doesn't use headsets, David gathered the group at each point of interest and spoke clearly enough that it was easy for all of us to understand what he was saying, even for those of us who are hard of hearing. He also took great pictures of us with our phones.

    I’m glad I booked this tour while in DC. It was a great bike ride throughout the National Mall at a very good pace as well. Connor was very informative and helpful throughout the tour. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting.

    Our tour guide was not knowledgeable about the monuments/memorials and was very uncomfortable with public speaking. It seemed like she had attempted to memorize a script and got very flustered when she forgot a line. This made for a long two hours. At one point a volunteer at a memorial tried to chime in to help her and she got very upset.

    I was surprised to see a child in our group. If she was five she was barely that… and on her own bicycle. It stressed our guide and I feel that we definitely missed out on a lot of what could have been fun and interesting we’re it not for the Mom with the little girl who cried and crashed and had a lot of difficulty stopping and dealing with the ride… understandably so!

    We booked a bike tour on a Thursday morning in May. There were about 12 of us. In fact I think they had enough for 2 groups so I'd recommend booking. They were organised and eveything ran smoothly. The equipment was good and worked well. We felt safe for the whole trip. It was at an easy, relaxed pace, and mainly flat. Our guide was friendly, and the commentary was entertaining and informative. It's a great way to see the main sites and where they are, and decide which ones to go back to.

    A great way to see the city and multiple State buildings. Loved our tour guide, I believe his name was Steven!

    2 hour bike tour is a good amount of time but he mentioned most people do the 3 hour one.

    Highly recommend this tour!

    Our tour guide (Joe) was terrific. He paced the cycling just right to suit the varied needs of the group and showed us places en route to the main sites that we would otherwise have missed. I liked being given a padded seat bike without having to ask which made the trip more comfortable for me as a female. Many thanks.

    Check in was simple, bikes on hand were all of great quality, sizes for younger kids, older kids and adults. Tour guide (Kevin) was really great. Gave us a 3-5 minutes of background on each monument, and then 10 minutes to experience each site. Being on a bike riding around the Capital kept it fun for the kids, and made 3 hours pass by easily. All the stops were well-worth it and in a logical path.
