Great tour around the most important sights around DC. Thanks to a very knowledgeable guide MacKenzie we learned a lot about the American history. Definitely a recommendation. The bikes have been used a bit but are perfectly fine for a short tour around DC. We would love to have spent a little bit more time per sight. Potentially, future tours could take this into consideration. Thanks once again MacKenzie.

Our guide Wally was incredible. He was so informative and pointed out interesting details along the way. And he was also an absolute gem of a person.

Booked last minute as our walking tour got cancelled on us the day before. We are so glad it did, as this tour was fantastic and a great way to see the monuments. Big thanks to Noah, on his first tour as well who was great. Topped off with seeing Marine one land at the Whitehouse just after the tour!
