I would recommend this tour to anyone, especially someone starting their week in Washington. The guide was very informative and gave many tips on touring DC. The ride was easy; we stopped often and always in the shade. We were each given a water bottle at the start and halfway we had a snack. We had 6 children with us, ages 5-13 and they all had a blast. The bikes were in good shape and we were all given helmets. Safe, fun, interesting - a tour worth taking.

We had a great time. The guide was a retired school teacher and he had a wealth of information. I would highly recommend this as a way to see a city.

Great tour. The guide was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Biking is the best way to get around the city. I plan to do the same tour in NYC

Great guides and a great experience. The only way to see the sites in DC and line up the ones you want to see in greater detail later. Well done.

Guide extremely interesting, friendly and knowledgeable. It was a fantastic way to get an overall view of the National Mall. I had no idea of what to expect or where anything was. After the tour I had an understanding of where I was and way more ideas of what to do with my four days in Washington DC than I could possibly do. I am recommending to everybody I know that if they go to Washington DC they should do this first above everything else!

In our opinion, this is THE way to initially see the sites, then decide which ones to return to for a closer look and a longer linger. Our guide was the best in world! He knew the inside scoop and answered every question.
