This was perfect for our whole family! Such an amazing way to see all the sights! My older kids (13&15) loved it! My little one (4) thoroughly enjoyed riding in the trailer and jumping out at each sites and I felt safer with her in there! The time and distance was perfect. Our tour guide Narciso was very knowledgeable and patient! He added to the enjoyment of the tour. We HIGHLY recommend this tour! Thank you for the great experience and amazing memories!

Excellent tour of the monuments!

Our tour guide Ignacio was amazing! He was super knowledgeable and very patient. It was an excellent way to see most of the monuments. And a very relaxing bike ride. Unfortunately, we were on the bike tour with families with small children who held up the tour a number of times (bike issues mostly)and were loud during some of the speeches. Maybe as a solution there could be a kids only tour option and a no kids tour option? Also, some of the stops felt too short. I know we’re trying to fit everything into a time frame, but the Lincoln Memorial deserved a 15 minute stop instead of a 10. But, I believe Ignacio was trying to do the best he could to get us back on time as we left a little late . I would definitely recommend this as an excellent way to get an overview of all the monuments in a very easy way!

Best way to see the National Mall!

This was the BEST way to see the National Mall! We had 10 in our group - ages eight to adult, and our tour guide, IGNACIO, was phenomenal! This bike tour was a highlight for each of us. He let the youngest help set the pace for the group so it was comfortable for everyone. Not only did we see the memorials, but Ignacio had a passion for history and shared so much information with us. He spoke in a way that captivated both the kids and adults, and we got so much more than just a scenic bike ride from this experience.

So much history. Great way to learn about it and see it! Guide was very knowledgeable. Suggestion - keep your political views to yourself, we were not offended but I’m sure it will happen at some point with someone else. Otherwise it was excellent
