Sam was an excellent guide, providing biking tips for the city and lots of great information at each stop. In three hours, we saw all the major monuments and memorials, and it did not feel rushed. At one point, my bike got a flat tire, and within 10 minutes a new bike was delivered. I did buy the trip insurance for $2.99, so I didn’t have to pay anything. There was a group of rowdy teenage boys on our tour and Sam handled it with patience and grace. Wish their parents would’ve stepped in more to reign them in. Overall this tour was an excellent experience and I would do it again!

This bike tour is comprehensive if you want to cover a lot of excellent memorials / monuments within a few hours. There are a lot of people on the tour, but they are very efficient at getting the group from one location to the next. You do have a small amount of time to take photos at each monument / memorial.

Was a fantastic way to start our 4 day adventure in DC. Covered a lot of ground and got great info from our guide about each of the sites. They were very well informed as well as being open and available for questions and suggestions by the group throughout. My son (13) was much more engaged than while just walking around.
