We booked a bike tour on a Thursday morning in May. There were about 12 of us. In fact I think they had enough for 2 groups so I'd recommend booking. They were organised and eveything ran smoothly. The equipment was good and worked well. We felt safe for the whole trip. It was at an easy, relaxed pace, and mainly flat. Our guide was friendly, and the commentary was entertaining and informative. It's a great way to see the main sites and where they are, and decide which ones to go back to.

David was a great guide. My bike kept changing to a lower gear. Then the chain came off. When I returned bike there appeared to be no attempt to fix the problem. Won’t be doing this again.

Tour guide was not feeling well.
We bare could hear him talking.
I recommend a microphone for the guide to communicate with the group.

A great way to see the city and multiple State buildings. Loved our tour guide, I believe his name was Steven!

2 hour bike tour is a good amount of time but he mentioned most people do the 3 hour one.

Highly recommend this tour!

Great bike tour in blooming Washingon. The guide took us safely through town and its landmarks. His knowledge was impressive and we also got time to explore on our own.

Our tour guide Greg H was phenomenal and knowledgeable! I was with my son who had just turned 10, Greg was welcoming and patient and didn’t mind being a human google for 2 hours. He had my son engaged and interested. This was the highlight of our trip to DC, we had a blast! I would definitely do this again, next time I will book further in advance to see all the monuments that this tour missed.
