We had a great time on this tour. Our guide Joe was a wealth of knowledge and enthusiastic about showing us all he could in just two hours. It was apparent he loves DC and its history and lives to share it with others. Our group was about 13 people, all from different places. We had a family with middle school kids, several high school aged kids and adults. The tour route was manageable for everyone.

I enjoyed this three hour trip with our guide Cameron who was friendly and knowledgeable. We saw some very interesting sights. I found it a bit too slow and would have preferred a slightly faster pace or to have seen more but in all fairness there was a nine year old girl in our group of three. She was a competent cyclist. The bikes were good Trek bikes and well maintained and the helmets were good quality. I would recommend this company and bike ride. Washington DC is a lovely city! Thank you.

This was a good tour. The guides were knowledgeable and very friendly. We went on the 7 mile Capitol tour. It was a good overview, but I was hoping for more time at the monuments. We did not get to get off bikes to look at any of them except for the Lincoln Memorial. If I had to do it again, I would probably just do the Monuments tour. We already had the Capitol and the museums on our to visit list, but we were using this as our monument tour and it wasn't quite enough. A bike is a great way to get around. We were there the weekend of the fourth so it was pretty crowded, but even my nine year old was able to get around on the sidewalks and make the ride. Washington DC is a pretty city and a bike is a great way to see it.
