Cykeltur til monumenter i Washington DC
Beskrivelse
Se Washington DC's historiske monumenter og mindesmærker helt tæt på på en 3-timers cykeltur med en informativ guide. Kør rundt om National Mall og Tidal Basin for at se nogle af de mest berømte seværdigheder, og hold så pause for at gå rundt og udforske seværdigheder som Lincoln Memorial. Vores monumenttur krydser gader, men der er ingen vejkørsel, så den er det perfekte valg for familier og dem, der måske ikke har kørt på cykel i en storby. På cykel kan du se meget mere end til fods eller i en bus! Hvis du aldrig har været på bytur før, er DC en perfekt by til at give det en chance. Vi ved, at når du først har kørt rundt på cykel, vil det være det første, du vil lede efter, næste gang du besøger en by! Bemærk, at afsnittet "hvad kan man forvente" giver et eksempel på en rejseplan, hvor din tur kan have en lidt anderledes rækkefølge på baggrund af, hvad der foregår i denne travle by på den dag, du er der.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Ankom 15 minutter før din tur tid til at checke ind og være monteret på din cykel. Unlimited Biking ligger på 701 D Street NW Washington DC 20004.
Ankom ved Jefferson Memorial, og hør om et af de mest imponerende monumenter i DC. Du vil få mulighed for at gå op ad trapperne og se Jeffersons bronzestatue og nyde udsigten over Tidal Basin.
Da vi respekterer vores mindesmærker, kan vi ikke køre gennem FDR Memorial, så du skal stige af og gå med din cykel gennem de imponerende fire "værelser", som repræsenterer de perioder, hvor Roosevelt var præsident for vores land. Der er nogle helt unikke fotomuligheder indenfor. Og sørg for, at du stopper op for at gnubbe Falas ører 'for held og lykke!
Igen kører vi ikke ind i mindesmærkerne, så du gør stop lige udenfor og lytter til din guide, før du bruger nogle minutter inde i MLK mindesmærket gennem "Mountain of Dispair" til Martin Luther Kings mindesmærke "Stone of Hope".
Som mange af mindesmærkerne i DC, har Korean War Memorial mange hemmeligheder i symbolik, som du muligvis aldrig ville finde ud af, hvis du var på egen hånd. Din guide vil uddele nogle facts, der øge din ærefrygt ved dette imponerende mindesmærke. Husk: "Freedom Isn't Free".
Nogle siger, at en tur til Washington, DC, ikke er fuldstændig, medmindre du ser Ærlige Abe sidde i hans ærested med udsigt over National Mall. Er Lincolns hænder gør tegnsprog symboler af hans initialer "A" og "L"? Se selv, når du klatrer op ad trappen til toppen, efter at din guide deler nogle indsigt i designet af et af vores mest berømte mindesmærker.
Du vil stoppe lige uden for Vietnam Wall for at lære om designet og tanken bag denne imponerende hyldest til en konflikt, der udgør en så personlig forbindelse for så mange af vores gæster. Nogle af historierne, som vores guider uddeler, vil få tårerne op i øjnene.
Vietnam Women's Memorial er dedikeret til de kvinder, der deltog, hvoraf de fleste var sygeplejersker.
Et af de nyere mindesmærker i DC hylder dem, der gjorde tjeneste under Anden Verdenskrig. Din guide kan fortælle nogle ting om konstruktionen og historien, før du bruger nogle minutter på at udforske det. Du kan måske endda se den eneste "godkendte" graffiti på et DC monument.
Har du nogensinde bemærket, at Washington Monument faktisk er to forskellige farver? Du vil lære hvorfor på din turné ... sammen med flere andre sjove fakta om denne ikoniske mindesmærke til USA's første præsident. (Bemærk: vi går ikke ind i monumentet)

best way to see monuments. Guide could have been more enthusiastic and provide more information: Wasn’t much help fixing the bikes at the start. Bikes were of good quality though.
Matthew is the best—his bike tours are phenomenal! We did the e-bike tour, and it was the perfect way to see all the highlights with minimal effort. This was actually our fifth bike tour, and we’ve never had a bad experience. It’s such an awesome way to explore a city. You get to cover so much ground in a short amount of time, stop at the monuments, hop off to look around and take photos, then hop back on and keep going. You see so much more than you ever could from a bus or by walking. Anytime someone tells me they’re coming to DC, this is exactly what I’ll recommend. We’d absolutely do this same tour again!
The experience itself was great, but I didn’t get the “right” ticket, but the park workers let us go anyway. I paid for the tickets even though others were free and almost didn’t get to go.
The tour covers all areas you would like to view in washington. Our tour guide Matt was outstanding.
My grandson fell and could not continue the ride so we had to walk the bikes back. They couldn't arrange a ride back for us( 2 grandparents and the boy). They offered the boy a ride but we couldn't allow him to do that alone. It was over a mile to walk the bikes back. It was very hot, we got lost and they did not refund our money.
We're so sorry to hear about your grandson's fall, and we're glad to hear he's okay. We understand how difficult and frustrating it must have been to walk the bikes back over a mile with the whole group, especially without a way to get everyone back together safely. This isn't the experience we want any of our guests to have, and we'd like to look into what happened with the return options offered that day. Could you share your booking details with us directly so we can follow up properly? We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
The BEST way to see the sights…. Walking would have been too much for my 3 kids. It was their favorite thing we did on vacation. I was so happy there was even a bike for my 7 yo and he was able to do the whole ride with no problems!! Highly recommend.
Thank you, Lisa! We're so glad biking turned out to be the perfect way to see the sights with three kids in tow, and that even your 7 year old was able to complete the whole ride comfortably. Hearing it was their favorite part of the vacation means a lot to us. Hope to see your family again soon!
We took part in a guided bike tour of Washington DC, and it was AMAZING!! The weather was out to get us, with over 100’F over the 4th of July weekend, but the experience and our outstanding guide, Benham, made it all worth it! I would absolutely recommend this adventure, so worth it!!
Thank you, Jennifer! We're so glad Benham made the experience amazing despite the intense heat that weekend. That kind of dedication really does make all the difference. We'll pass along your kind words to him. Hope to see you again under cooler skies!
The tour was mediocre. Retrospectively, we should’ve just ran into the bike bikes and gone on a self guided tour. With a navigation app and Grok, you do not need a tour guide.
Steve was the best tour guide. We saw so many cool monuments!
Thank you! We're so glad Steve made this the best tour guide experience and that you got to see so many of DC's iconic monuments. We'll pass along your kind words to him. Hope to see you again soon!
I’d definitely recommend this Washington, DC bike tour, it’s a fantastic way to see the city and many of its iconic monuments in just a few hours. Joe was an outstanding guide: knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely funny, which made the tour both informative and entertaining. Joe has two simple rules: 1) He values your safety, and 2) He values everyone else’s safety. Follow those rules, and you’ll have an amazing experience. One thing to note: don’t expect to get close to the White House, as access is currently restricted due to construction. Even so, you still get incredible views and plenty of opportunities to experience the history and beauty of Washington, D.C. Overall, this tour was a 10 out of 10. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the city!
Thank you, Adris! We're so glad about 7 miles of monuments and history made for such a fantastic way to see the city in just a few hours, and that Joe stood out as an outstanding guide. We'll pass along your kind words to him. Hope to welcome you back soon!
