Evening bike ride was so much fun to get up close to the monuments. Even though we were blocked by activities happening on the mall, the leader made sure everyone was safe and together. We even had an extra bonus of some flyovers! Just taking a regular bike was fine and there was no need for an e-bike unless that is your thing. There was plenty of time at each of the stops and I never felt rushed.
This bike tour is one of the funniest stores I’ve ever been on. Not only where the bike is easy to maneuver, but Mary, the tour guide was amazing in showing us all of the different monuments. She has a connection to the city and she’s a fourth generation Washington resident and so it sounds like it means a little bit more to her because of the personal connection. My daughter and I are from California and traveled out here and just came on this tour on a whim. We are so glad we did.
Matt was a great tour guide. We traveled with our grandson and friends with their grandchildren. We had a wonderful time and this is a great way to see the monuments at night. I highly recommend this tour!
Unprofessionalism. Both by Viator and Unlimited Biking. The day we were supposed to be there our flight got delayed, and we did not land in DC until well after our bike tour start time. I called each company and they bounced me back and forth to each other and never refunded my money. Terrible experience and customer service.
Absolutely amazing. I've done this tour twice now! Great for all ages! You see all.of the monuments. Absolute must
A great bike tour! Doable for anyone who knows how to ride a bike. The facts and all the sites were great. The guide gave us enough time at each location. We got hit with so many things that could have made the trip not as enjoyable but we all had great attitudes and all was happenstance and nothing in the control of the tour guide. Ex: a crazy amount of bugs on the oath that we rode through; rogue sprinklers that had it out for us (no one got wet though!); massive kid tour groups and the UFC fight setup increasing the amount of people at the Lincoln memorial. With all that it was still such a great tour and I recommend it!
Joe did an amazing job showing the group the sites. He was knowledgeable and had a great personality.
Matt was amazing! He was very knowledgeable, went at a comfortable pace and kept us safe the whole time! We loved seeing the Monuments and memorials on our bike tour!
Great experience with a great guide. Joe took me to new places that I hadn’t been to and was entertaining. The ride on the bridge was my favorite. It was relaxing and peaceful. Joe was able to help us navigate traffic. Wonderful all around.
DC bike tour was awesome! Steve was an excellent and informative guide. Saw exhibits that would have taken a lot of time to walk to.
