Several stops are built into the tour, and there are plenty of opportunities to ask questions or take pictures!

We will provide you with a mountain bike fitted to your appropriate size. Helmets and full water bottles are also provided.

It was a wonderful experience for my family which consisted of my husband and I and our 9 and 12 year old daughters. We learned a lot from our guide. The trip covered all the monuments including some we didn't expect. My kids said it was their favorite part of the trip, mine too! It was a brutally hot day, but we actually felt comfortable riding. Good pace for all. So much fun.

This was a great way to see the monuments. I can't imagine walking these distances, so the bike was the way to go. It was fun for the whole family. Our guide was great too!

Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. The pace was one that everybody could keep up with and I thought that it was a wonderful way to see the monuments. I would recommend this for first timers to D. C. like myself to get your bearings and then spend the next day on your own at your own leisure.

This was a great way to see the sites. It was a baking hot day and the amount of walking we would have had to do to see all of the monuments would have been exhausting. The guide was great. We learned much more than if we had toured on our own. My kids (10 and 13) thought it was awesome. We are definitely going to do another tour in a future visit to DC. Don't think twice, book it now!

We had a great time on our bike tour. Took the tour during the Cherry Blossom Festival and each stop was packed with people which presented a bit of a navigating challenge. Our guide was fantastic...friendly, knowledgeable and patient with our group. I would recommend bike and roll to our friends traveling to DC. This was our 2nd Bike and Roll Bike tour (1st one in San Fran) and we will be using the group in Chicago!
Thanks for adding to a memorable trip!
