Great tour to get a look at the major parts of DC. We are here during the government shut down so many of our tours are cancelled. Greg gave us great historical tidbits along the way. We did the e-bike option and I highly recommend doing that as I think we got to see more as the faster path has uphill parts that you probably wouldn’t do on a regular bike. Overall so glad we did it and would do it again! Thanks Greg!

We had to cancel and did not take this tour and were not given a refund which really stinks - I find them not easy to deal with on some of these items where circumstances are out of your control - also had several tours and transportation with them over the last 10 days so you would think they would be more willing to work with us. The other Tours and transportation was good so do not want to take away from that.
Fun and interesting bike ride to major points of interest in Washington DC. Ride to important historic monuments in a small group.

Due to a flight delay, we were unable to attend. As soon as we landed, we directly contacted the tour operator and received no reply. It has now been over 24 hours and still no reply.
The check in and check out process was lack luster. Directions on how to check in and out was as if no cares were given. Reps on their phones and just sort of barking at you what to do. It did not feel like we were appreciated clients. We didn't have to be— we could have used other bike/scooter options and self guided around the sites. Our guide Wally was GRAND! Kind and helpful and enjoyable!! The bike business itself could have cared less about us as customers.
My cycle tour with Adrian was first class. We saw the sights while hearing the background and history. The bikes were good quality and comfortable.
David was a great guide. My bike kept changing to a lower gear. Then the chain came off. When I returned bike there appeared to be no attempt to fix the problem. Won’t be doing this again.
Tour guide was not feeling well.
We bare could hear him talking.
I recommend a microphone for the guide to communicate with the group.
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.
Joseph was out tour guide, very knowledgeable and update guy. I recommend this experience with Unlimited Biking to anyone visiting Washington DC.
Wally,
He was the best tour guide for me and my teammate I will definitely refer him to friends when there traveling to DC! I want to say it was amazing and beautiful here I hopefully in the future I will come back!
Off the 2 hour tour 45 mins we waited for late comers .. toured for 30 and then were told to return to the end point on our own !
Great host and cohost, very friendly and professional. The tour was a lot of fun and informative to all riders. Definitely it was worth it.
my son and i had the best time. highly recommend, excellent way to see the monuments. the guide Greg S. was awesome and provided a lot of fun and interesting stories to put the locations in perspective.
Was looking for something fun to do on a weekday and came across this bike tour. A fun activity to do if you want to learn interesting facts about DC and get some exercise in.
I had James as my tour guide and he was really enthusiastic and engaging.
Perfect amount of history was delivered and this tour was value for money.
My favorite part was definitely capital hill, especially biking down it afterwards!
Overall it was a really fun experience.
Our host was Greg. The tour was fun and we felt very looked after. Greg has amazing knowledge on all landmarks and DC alone.He was very helpful and accommodating.
The bikes were easy to ride, well maintained. Thank you very much.
I want to make this perfectly clear. Arranging the bike tour through viator was a nightmare. Their site for Unlimited Biking was deceiving. When I called to change the date to one day later because of an unknown conflict the would do nothing but state over and over what I already new that there were no refund for any cancellations or changes. The person I spoke with on the phone was extremely rude. I then went directly to the Unlimited Biking site and had a WONDERFUL experience. They had an excellent cancellation policy and were exceptionally kind and gracious. We took the bike tour and had a FANTASTIC time. I will never book anything through Viator ever again - BUT if you are going to Washington DC - take the bike tour with Unlimited Biking - I HIGHLY recommend it. This is from a 70 year old grandmother and her 12 year old grandson.
Paul our guide was great, very informative and knowledgable. Best tour I’ve done in Washington DC, very enjoyable
The most memorable thing we did in DC. Definitely worth the time and $$ to see the sites this way. Perfect way for our 7, 10, and 14 year old to learn a little about several sites without overwhelming or boring them and while keeping us all active. I’m sure it also helped that we had an amazing guide and amazing weather for it too.
This was such a unique experience! Our guide Greg was very informative and fun! Great way to see and learn about DC 😊
We had a great ride with Joe. Our ride ended up being just our family of four. Since it was quite chilly, Joe modified our tour to keep our kids most engaged.
I proposed to my future wife on this tour and Joe Brady and David did an absolute great Job. They are such great tour guides.
There were many bike options that were suitable for my kids. We opted for one riding solo and one on a tandem bike with me which was fantastic! Biking D.C. is the way to go! Greg - the tour guide - was so knowledgeable and shared so many insights and experiences from his life in D.C. He brought us to sites on the tour that I hadn't heard of yet! We saw so many things! Every question my son has about statues all over town he was happy to answer. We loved the tour so much and would highly recommend! Thank you!
This bike tour was an awesome experience! Greg our guide was kind, knowledgeable and careful. The tour was a great way to see some of the sights and learn some history. This was a tour that worked for both my husband I as well as our 3 kids age 10-12. I would highly recommend this trip to others. The only disappointment was that we didn’t do the 3 hour trip.
Nicole is very friendly and knowledgeable, and kept us on a good pace and on schedule………asdhkhgfddak
Greg was an excellent local guide who made this bike trip to funny experience including lots of informationes.
Our guide was attentive to our safety and comfort, and full of great information. The ride was very easy, even in the heat.
Fraudulent company, full of liars and fraudsters - look elsewhere. Communication was poor and advertisements are misleading. Save yourself some money and book direct with a local business.
