The Best With and Of DC

5.00I took my mom to DC for her 70th birthday and this tour made all the difference! She loved it, as did I. Robert was kind and very knowledgeable of all of the monuments, memorials, and DC in general. My mom has issues with her knees, and Robert took extra care to ensure that she was comfortable and able to get in and out of the pedicab without issue. The tour itself was exactly what we wanted. It didn't feel rushed. I think I snagged him a customer or two for the next day because people saw us getting out and my mom's cane and asked questions and I gushed about our experience. He even took great photos of us. My only regret is that it took me so long to write this review!
Highly recommended

5.00Highly recommend! We kicked off our first time in Washington DC with 2 hours with Robert and he managed to showed us so many monuments and memorials - White House, Vietnam, Lincoln, Korean, MLK Jr, WW2 and Washington. He was very knowledgeable and full of fun stories.
5 Stars from this 3 time repeat Customer!

5.00I have 3 kids and when each one was finishing up 5th grade I took them to DC for a Daddy only trip. Mom stayed back in NY for all 3. I think she’s a little jealous but she says she’s not. Ha ha. Anyway, I took my oldest my daughter Taylor in 2017, my middle one my daughter Brooke in 2021 and last but not least my son Jax this past weekend. During each trip I used Robert at Nonpartisan Pedicabs. That’s 3 separate times over 8 years! I certainly age but this guy doesn’t! Robert is friendly, knowledgeable, makes suggestions but is open and willing to do whatever you want to in terms of which monuments you want to see. He’s completely upfront and transparent about his fee and he works with you relative to how long you want your tour to be and how much you’re ok with spending. He’s provides interesting factoids but doesn’t overdo it knowing part of his audience was an 11 year old. Robert is just a good guy who runs a great business with enthusiasm and is attentive to his customers. I highly recommend Robert and Nonpartisan Pedicab.

5.00Best tour ever!!! Robert is one of a kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, safe, kind, and strong to lead us as he did through the best of the National Mall and all of its history within. AND!!! Our schnauzer was included as part of the family. Thank you Robert!! Best thing we’ve ever done.
Came for the Cherry Trees left with the whole DC Pie!

5.00Robert told us about the history of every area we visited. For instance the term Lobbying came from men meeting in the lobby of the Willard Hotel. He was very respectful of what we wanted to do or not do. I would not hesitate recommending this to anyone that wants to know more about DC. And there were still Cherry Trees in full blossom. Loved every minute of it!
Fabulous tour and guide made our day!

5.00We were thrilled with our outing! Robert was super knowledgable and very helpful. I use a walker and he helped me on and off the ride as well as securing the walker so it would not rub against our legs. At some points when we wanted pictures taken of us, he did and showed amazing skill as a photographer, too. We ended up extending the trip by another quarter hour and he took us to our restaurant as the drop-off site, saving us the cost of an uber, plus adding information about building we were seeing along the way. Super experience!
Great tour for older/limited mobility explorers!!

5.00Booked an Essentials Tour for my parents (dad walks with a cane and walker) and couldn’t be happier with their experience. Robert picked them up from our DC hotel and put my dads walker on his bike. I really think it was the only way for my dad to see all the monuments since his mobility is so limited. After the tour Robert dropped my parents to meet us at a Smithsonian Museum. They were both very happy with all the sights they had seen and most of all Robert’s expertise and friendliness. I would definitely recommend this tour option for explorers with limited mobility !!

5.00Our family including 2 senior citizens had a wonderful tour of Washington DC monuments arranged by nonpartisan pedicab. It is one of the most reliable and convenient service with very friendly and respectful and knowledgeable tour guides Fahaad & Kevin. The planning prior to tour was highly flexible to our needs managed by Robert Hart. We highly recommend this for private tours with family and friends.
Fantastic memories

5.00My parents are older and unable to walk much these days so non-partisan pedicab was the perfect way for them to visit the memorials. It was safe and our guide Robert was so knowledgeable about DC! This created memories my parents and I will treasure forever.
Beyond Amazing!

5.00I can't begin to say how wonderful this tour was. Robert is personable and filled with DC knowledge. The tour is amazing: filled with visits to every must see along with Roberts history about them. Even better I was able as a wheelchair user to do this tour! 5 not 4 stars. Can't recommend enough!
