What To Expect
We will view the White House from Lafayette Square on the North Side is a truly awe-inspiring experience. Visitors can observe an iconic building that has been home to many presidents over the centuries and witnessed many historic moments. The exterior of the White House is renowned for its grandiose columns, white paint, and towering windows. The surrounding grounds feature manicured lawns with picturesque flowerbeds, fountains and statues that add to the allure of this regal building. When looking towards the North side from Lafayette Square visitors will get a breathtaking sight with lush parklands full of trees and diverse wildlife that make this area unique.
United States Department of the Treasury
The Hamilton Statue by American sculptor James Earl Frazier is an iconic monument located in Washington, D.C. The bronze statue was dedicated to Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States during President George Washington’s tenure. The statue shows Hamilton in a stately pose as he holds a book in his right hand and a scroll in his left. This beautiful piece of art pays tribute to Alexander Hamilton’s role as a symbol of freedom during the Revolutionary War era. It serves as an important reminder that America would not be where it is today without him.

Favorite part of our trip!

5.00We had an awesome time with Barry on our scooter tour of the national mall. We are a family of six and before we started Barry took plenty of time to make sure everyone had the right scooter for them, including my 8 year old who was a bit nervous. During the tour we learned so much more about the memorials than we thought and we had a blast doing it. From the 14 year old to the 8 year old, the tour with Barry was everyone's favorite part of our trip to DC!
Scooter Evening Monument Tour is the best way to experience DC!

5.00This was the highlight of our trip and so worth it value-wise. Barry gave us the coolest information and created a great route based on our preferences and time restrictions. Seeing the monuments at night with very few people around us definitely the way to go! Renting your own scooters and trying to navigate on your own is definitely not worth it! Book with Barry and save yourself a ton of headache!
Spring Break Highlight!

5.00Barry made sure everyone was comfortable and understood how to operate their scooters before we took off. He was extremely knowledgeable and curated a fun afternoon for both the adults and kids. As a local who has visited the monuments many times, this tour offers a completely new experience and I highly recommend checking it out!
Best tour around!

5.00If I could give more stars, I would. It is not easy to find a tour that is fun for the entire family, but this one will be remembered long after today! Our boys, 14 and 17, and both parents, truly enjoyed every minute of our 4 hours spent with Barry scootering around DC taking in all the monuments and memorials and fun facts! So so fun, informative, and memorable. A MUST DO activity!!
Can't miss experience in DC

5.00We had an incredible time touring the city on electric scooters. We were able to see so much more of the city this way. Barry was an enthusiastic guide who provided interesting tidbits at each stop. We were able to customize the experience to our particular wants and needs. Highly recommend meeting at the shop first to figure out which bike/scooter works best.

5.00Lots of scooter options made this easy for our entire family, including a somewhat scooter, scared 10-year-old girl and an eight-year-old boy. Allowed us to do all the best monuments in a reasonable amount of time before anyone got tired from walking, or bored from taking too long. So easy, and so fun!
