Great Way to See Key Sites in Washington around the Mall
Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour
Our tour guide, Ben, was fantastic. We all kept a tight group as we wove through the streets to our many destinations. Ben was able to give us some incredible insights and history to all the various monuments, buildings, and areas. Everyone should see DC this way!

Bike ride celebration… great decision
Half Day Napa Valley E-Bike Tour
Our guide, Santino, was so knowledgeable about, Napa, its history and the vineyards. I booked the ride as a part of our weekend celebration of my son’s graduation from Berkeley… it was a spectacular journey, beauty of the grape vines and serenity of the wineries were unmatched. This is a must! We will be back. I highly recommend this activity but make sure to request Santino… he took the ride to another level!!!

Fun ride around Nashville
Hidden Gems of Nashville E-Bike Tour
We had a large group of 20 bikers and they broke us up into 3 groups with 3 guides to make it managable and safe. It was such a great way to see the city. Guides were incredible.

Movie views gallore
Highlights of San Francisco Bike Tour
If you guide knows his way around this can be a very flat ride, if not and you are not a regular cyclist I suggest an e-bike. This tour has tons of views that most of us have seen in movies or on television for years. if you have never been to San Francisco this is a great way to see a lot of it in not too much time. I suggest spending as little time as possible in Fishermans Wharf (it's very touristy and not really what San Francisco is all about). For a fantastic local post ride beer check out Zeitgeist in the Mission. (It's in the Mission on Duboce and Valencia if memory serves.). Zeigeist is local institution that is unlike any beer garden you've ever been to.

An iconic ride everyone should experiencce
Scenic Golden Gate Bridge San Francisco Bike Tour
This is a once in a life time city bike ride with views you will never forget. Technically the "bike side" is on the western ocean facing side which I suggest you ride out. Coming back you can slowly weave through the tourists on the eastern side with an epic view of San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz, and the city of San Francisco. For the more intrepid cyclists you can continue on through Sausalito and loop back into Tiburon where you can catch a ferry back to San Francisco passing Angel Island and Alcatraz along the way.

A glorious park to ride through
San Francisco's Golden Gate Park Bike Tour
Not that a sunny day is a requirement but it really makes this place shine. I suggest avoiding this bike ride June - August unless you really like biking in chilly fog and wind. Putting all of those things aside, Golden Gate park is a magical place for a bike ride with a ton of cool history. Make sure you check out Ocean Beach, the tea garden, top of the DeYoung museum tower, Hippy Hill, and I suggest a post ride beer at the Kezar Pub on the east end of Golden Gate Park.

Best way to see the monuments!
Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour
Loved seeing the music monuments on a bike. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and able to engage with everyone on the tour. Can’t recommend it enough. We were able to stop at each monument to explore it on foot while our guide looked after our bikes.

The Perfect Way to Explore DC!
Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour
After visiting DC a few times on foot, this time I went by bike. This is truly the best way to get from monument to monument! The time you save by not walking is spent getting a small history lesson and an in depth view of each location. Our guides were wonderful and very knowledgeable! I only wish that there were more focus on the history of each stop.
The biking itself was minimal, almost entirely on bike paths, and can be done easily by beginner cyclists. There are some spots where you must cross the road and be aware of traffic, however.
Even though a lot of the monuments are currently under spring cleaning and construction, I had a great time on this adventure! We had good weather, fun guides and comfortable bikes! If you take a trip to DC, you'll have to make time for this excursion!

Great way to see the monuments
Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour
Great bike tour of DC’s most popular monuments. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us ample time to explore the sites at each stop. Not too much biking so perfect for unexperienced riders, looking to learn but not break a sweat. Would recommend!

A really great way to visit the monuments!
Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour
I've been to DC a few times but this was by far the best experience. Cycling is such an effective and FUN way to explore the monuments and memorials. The guides were really knowledgeable and gave us a lot of interesting facts at each stop. We had a large group and I think splitting into two smaller groups would have made it even more enjoyable.

The best monuments/memorials in one tour
Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour
I can't think of a better way to see all the monuments/memorials in one trip. Of course you can't drive your car to each of the monuments and park. I suppose you could walk it, but it would be a very long walk. So seeing them by bike is about perfect.
Despite growing up in DC, I learned a lot on this tour. For instance, I didn't realize that the Washington Monument was at one time the tallest building in the world (later surpassed by the Eiffel Tower). And that it remains the tallest unreinforced stone structure in the world (no steel, just stone). (The wording used by the guide was something about "tallest free standing" structure, but I think he meant "tallest unreinforced structure".)
Every monument and memorial is a highlight. For me the MLK one was especially cool as I had not seen before. I just thought it was really well done and the guide really described it well. Another highlight was at the end, standing on the steps of the Jefferson memorial, you could see many of the monuments/memorials visited earlier, the White House, the Potomac, National Cathedral and all over DC actually. It's a great view. I had also not seen the FDR memorial before, and while I found it interesting, its message was not quite as easy to grasp as the others, for me at least.
There were two tour guides in our group of nearly 20 people, and they were knowledgeable about each monument. During each stop, one guide would keep an eye on all the bikes so that we could walk around and explore the monument for 10, 15 or 20 minutes, depending on the monument/memorial. It was really well organized and planned. The guides were friendly and available for questions and also had tools to help adjust the bikes if needed. One guide was wearing a badge on his shirt about how he wanted tips. I didn't know that ahead of time and didn't bring cash, and wouldn't know what they'd expect even if I had. So I kind of wish there was more communication and clarity on this aspect, as it made me wonder if the guides are already paid or if they are volunteers. In any case, the guides were great.
The bikes were good quality, well maintained, comfortable and easy to ride. I think the bike I rode was a Cannondale, which I understand is a very good quality bike. The starting location was very convenient and Unlimited Biking has a great location in DC. Along the ride there were opportunities for food and bathroom breaks, and it was overall a very easy and educational day tour.
I recommend this tour if you are interested in an easy and fun way to see all the monuments. This really is the easiest way to do that. I don't recommend this tour if you are looking for lots of exercise on a bike, as there really isn't all that much actual bike riding on this tour. But luckily, we were able to keep riding the bikes afterwards (without the guides) so we rode on to Old Town Alexandria and back, which was a nice ride for both exercise and scenery. Highly recommended. SHOW MORE
