As experienced bikers,...
Cindy_G
, May 2022
As experienced bikers, riding with a group of 15, mostly inexperienced, was a challenge but David and Jon (our guides) handled it quite well. The timing both on and off the bike gave both a break and plenty of opportunities to see the venues. Water was supplied; however, may I recommend a small snack (or somewhere one can get a snack/crackers). 3hrs can be taxing especially in the middle of the day. Highly recommended and plan to do again when we return next year.

We really enjoyed the tour and our guide was very knowledgeable. It was annoying that we left late (about 10 minutes) and we got lost at the end … but we found our way back. You don’t get much time at the sites but it gives you a good overview and you can visit later.

Erin_S
, May 2022
i was surprised at how little information of value was given by the tour guide. the tour seemed to be geared to children, but our entire group was adults. at the Lincoln memorial the guide asked the group what number "score" meant, but then did not know what the Gettysburg Address was- or what important issue it addressed. The bikes were also not in great shape- my seat was crooked and only one seat of brakes worked. On the upside, the weather was nice!

We stopped and spent a few minutes at each monument so you got a chance to see what you wanted to return to later. Saw some I would not otherwise have gone to and now I will return to a few of those because they were so interesting and beautiful. Guide was good and knowledgeable about her subjects.

Richard_R

First trip to DC for my 12 and 14 year old kids - this was a perfect activity after the morning flight from home! Although the tour takes 3 hours, my Apple Watch logged less than 30 minutes of cycling (very mellow) spread over 3 miles. Our tour guide Paul was experienced and engaging, clearly well practiced with similar groups. My son especially liked the respectful vibe he created while visiting the war memorials. My daughter appreciated the active aspect of the tour: cyclic and walking around at her (more active) pace. And I loved checking all the boxes without having to open a guide book or find parking! (The FDR and MLK monuments are new since I last came and definitely worth it!)
