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!

This is an easy bike the with loads of stops to see the most famous monuments. Cycling mostly on paths and bike lanes. Our guide Joe was very informative about each stop and gave us lots of information . Even the rain shower didn’t spoil our day!

The bike tour was a fantastic way to see many monuments and sites in DC. Despite the heat the guide, Joe, found some shade and with water available at stops it made it much easier than expected. The history Joe shared at all the stops was a great reminder for me. DC is remarkable and Hoe made it a memorable tour. He even added a quick walk past the Smithsonian castle and gave tips for other places to visit while in DC. I would take this tour again and again.

This bike ride was a great way to get around and see lots of key monuments in an afternoon. We covered a good distance and stopped alongside at several of the places and had time to explore. It was a very enjoyable and informative trip. The guide, Sydney provided lots of information along the tour, and was excellent.

Very informative and fun activity. Matthew was an excellent guide/teacher (he is one!) who both shared facts and asked questions. Suggestion: early morning is best, especially in the summer months.
