An informative and easy way to get around DC
Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour
Bicycling in DC was the best decision I made as a mode of transportation for sightseeing. Joe Brady was a wealth of knowledge and I discovered areas of DC that were unbeknownst to me.

really cool tour
Washington DC Monumental E-Bike Tour
e-bike is probably not necessary as you don't really bike that much. If you are not an avid cyclist I guess it can't hurt. the history on this tour is crazy. i had been to DC a bunch of time but my eyes were opened on this experience.

Great introduction to Washington
Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour
We did this on our first full day in Washington and it was a great way to see all the main sites and get oriented. The pace was easy. We were in a group of 12. Our guide Joe was very knowledgeable and spoke so everyone could hear, keeping everyone together. We really enjoyed it, and it gave us the chance to meet some other travellers.

Excellent tour and best way to see monuments
Washington DC Monuments at Night Bike Tour
I am so glad we did this tour. It was so informative and fun. I took my 12 and 14 year old sons and they loved it too. We had Ashley as a guide and she was excellent. She gave a clear view of what was coming next and great insights of D.C. I highly recommend.

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!

Great way to see historic DC sites
Washington DC Monuments at Night Bike Tour
this was a great way to see a lot of the major sites around the National Mall. at 3 hours long, there was sufficient time to see the major sites without feeling rushed. Friendly and informative tour guide, and the pace was just right. We did the evening tour, which I would recommend to see some of the sites at night. My husband and I definitely recommend this tour.

Jan 3rd monument tour with Joe
Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour
My 7 yo twins, my 10 yo son, & myself went on a 10am bike tour 1/3/25. It was amazing & so fun! The best way to see all the monuments without walking so much. My kids loved it! Joe was so patient & kind with the kids (they were slow at times & some biking mishaps.) He answered all the questions & took pictures for us! We will definitely do this again when we are in town! TO was very accommodating giving us a tandem bike & bikes to fit my kids :) overall very awesome! Joe gave us a great lunch recommendation at Nando’s nearby too.

Cool but disappointed
Washington DC Monuments at Night Bike Tour
I really enjoyed this tour overall - it's hard to go wrong with seeing all of the beautiful monuments in DC as the sun sets! That being said, our guide didn't given much history or narrative to each spot we visited, I was hoping to hear more about each monument, rather than the stats. Also I was disappointed by how the guide talked about the various war memorials - our guide did give us some background but based on the tone used, I felt like I was hearing about a fun fact, rather than a very somber event/location. Overall, I wanted to hear little known facts, local lore and knowledge but instead, I felt like I could have just looked up each site we went to on wikipedia and gotten the same information (and more) than what I heard on this tour.
Also, our guide also was biking so far ahead of everyone, it felt like he was racing to get around, leaving people behind. Given this was a tour that went into the night, he also didn't warn much about the terrain or being careful around various areas. I saw multiple people fall and one person ran into a barrier at a narrow pathway area.

The best way to see Washington D.C. highlights!
Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour
I didn't realize before going that the Mall is SO BIG. It would have taken a whole day to try and get around to all we were able to see on this tour. The bikes are well maintained and were easy to ride for both myself and my 12 year old. Berto was an excellent and knowledgeable guide and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted. Definitely recommend this if you're looking for a fun and easy way to tour Washington!

Loved learning and riding with Joe!
Washington DC Monuments at Night Bike Tour
Joe was an amazing fount of highly relevant knowledge on all the monuments we toured. Can’t believe how much we saw in one evening. It really gave me a great overview of DC and made me proud to be an American. Especially his stories about the Korean War and the significance of the memorial there with which I wa s unfamiliar; Also about Mia-Lyn the young Harvard design student who designed the Vietnam memorial! And just the information about what each memorial holds! 100 lives for each gold star at WWII memorial - so sad. Makes me so grateful for our country!! Fantastic. Couple this tour with the museum of the Bible and you really see what this country is all about!

Good ride, good guide but mixed feelings…
Washington DC Monuments at Night Bike Tour
The lady at the reception wasn’t motivated and not very friendly.
Joe was a good guide. The tour at dusk was very nice. But it was really annoying that the bikes are in a very poor condition. Dirty, poorly maintained and worn. My chain fell out twice my husband‘s once. Joe could fix them everytime, but anyway…. Very annoying.
I would have expected better quality for this price.-
