“We loved this tour! All my five kids ages 15-4 had a great time. The 4 year old rode on an attachment bike behind my husband and she loved it! We did it at night and it was the best time to see all the monuments lite up. Abby was awesome and gave a brief but educational explanation of all the monuments and then let us walk around. I would tell everyone to book this tour. It’s 3 hours so eat before but the route was so easy and flat/doable for any age or biking level.”

The guys at the shop were super nice and efficient at getting us all on the right bike and upgrading us to electric bikes so we could give our legs a break. Request Wally!”

4.Washington DC Capital Sites Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 198 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $55Best value

Ride through central Washington DC with guides such as Greg, Wally, Joe, and Paul, stopping at the Capitol, Lincoln Memorial area, White House, Supreme Court, Smithsonian museums, and major memorials. Bikes and helmets are included, with trailer and tandem options for children.

“The check in and check out process was lack luster. Directions on how to check in and out was as if no cares were given. Reps on their phones and just sort of barking at you what to do. It did not feel like we were appreciated clients. We didn't have to be— we could have used other bike/scooter options and self guided around the sites. Our guide Wally was GRAND! Kind and helpful and enjoyable!! The bike business itself could have cared less about us as customers.”
