At your selected departure time, meet your local guide and get fitted for a hybrid comfort bike near the National Mall, and embark on a bike tour of Washington DC's monuments and memorials.

Follow your guide at a leisurely pace over relatively flat terrain, using bike lanes that wind past notable historic landmarks in the dynamic capital. Stop en route to hear interesting facts from your guide about each site you visit, including the Washington Monument, a towering obelisk that honors the first US president.

Traveler Tips

  • "It would be difficult for younger ages, as there were no bike lanes and maneuvering through sidewalk crowds was tricky at times." See review
  • "If you are bringing kids (ours were between 10 to 11), then consider doing this monument tour instead of a guided bus monument tour." See review

Got a Private Tour on my Day as I was the only one who signed up!
Marianne

The local bike company policy is that if only 1 person signs up, they still take the tour, so I got a private tour! It was great as we could go at the pace I wanted and I got to hear a whole lot more probably. My guide was super knowledgeable too.

Fun at Night

This tour was overbooked for the day session but they called me to ask if we could go to the evening one. We opted for it and it was actually very nice! Their bikes are actually in good condition (which I was surprised about) and they have a small pouch attached to the handle bars to put belongings in — I put a beanie & gloves in there until I got too cold. They also give you a bottle of water. Their directions were so confusing but it’s not difficult to locate them at all! We took an Uber to the international Spy Museum and just walked around to the back of it...it’s on the NE corner of that plaza. There are signs pointing towards the shop and their store sign says Bike and Roll...you honestly can’t miss it!
