Tour guide was not feeling well. We bare could hear him talking. I recommend a microphone for the guide to communicate with the group.

A great way to see the city and multiple State buildings. Loved our tour guide, I believe his name was Steven! 2 hour bike tour is a good amount of time but he mentioned most people do the 3 hour one. Highly recommend this tour!

Great bike tour in blooming Washingon. The guide took us safely through town and its landmarks. His knowledge was impressive and we also got time to explore on our own.

Our tour guide Greg H was phenomenal and knowledgeable! I was with my son who had just turned 10, Greg was welcoming and patient and didn’t mind being a human google for 2 hours. He had my son engaged and interested. This was the highlight of our trip to DC, we had a blast! I would definitely do this again, next time I will book further in advance to see all the monuments that this tour missed.
