Our Monuments tour does cross streets but there is no street riding making it the perfect option for families and those who may not have ridden a bike in an urban environment.
On a bike, you're able to see so much more than on foot or on a bus! If you've never taken a city city tour before, DC is a perfect city to give it a try. We know that once you've toured by bike, it will be the first thing you look for on your next trip to another city!

Anti trump rhetoric at every stop. This administration blah, blah, blah. Also too much time walking vs time on bike. The tour guide was hard to hear and did not have great insights beyond what a quick google search can get you. The city is beautiful and I love riding bikes…but you can do this on your own.

This biking tour is a wonderful experience and allows to efficiently visit at ease the many different monuments and landmarks spread around the rather vast area of the National Mall. We saw a lot, heard interesting explanations and anecdotes, and were also allowed enough time to explore by our owned at each stop during the tour. (otherwise walking though everywhere would have been a tiresome experience). Our guide was great - gave nice explanations, time to experience either of the many points of interest and was friendly and funny. Thanks a lot Mathew!

This was a very fun tour and a great way to experience all the National Mall memorials without the miles of walking! Our guide Joe was very knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor and rode at a pace that was effective for everyone in our group.

Had a great morning touring DC on our rented e-bikes. Greg H was very knowledgeable about the history and fun facts of DC. We were put in the wrong tour group, after picking up our bikes, but were glad to have been on Greg’s tour. Bike shop could use some better/newer bikes.

Want to get to all the monuments/memorials in 3 hours without having to walk to them all, this is it. A little nerve racking cycling in between/through pedestrians, but was worth it. The partial electric bikes were great to use.
