Itinerary

Begin with pickup at your Washington DC accommodation, and get suited up with lights, clear riding glasses, and safety gear. If you have your own bikes, bring them along, and if not, your guide provides all the necessary equipment.

Pedal along a route that makes use of DC’s bike lanes, and get ready to discover some of the city's best sights. Ride past the White House, and spot the blinking light on top of the Washington Monument—catch the reflection of the illuminated landmark in the nearby reflecting pool, and pause to snap a photo of the classic view.

Continue to the Jefferson Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial, where you can hop off your bike to climb the marble stairs to the base of the Abraham Lincoln statue. Next, tour the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, which is engraved with King’s own words.

Take in Washington DC’s moving war memorials, too: See the Vietnam Memorial, the Korean War Veteran’s Memorial, and the World War II Memorial. Throughout the evening, make the most of this fully customizable, private tour by visiting the sites that interest you most, with the flexibility to move at your own pace.

Excellent tour and even better guide

Jameson_C, Dec 2024
Jeff is a rare combination of incredibly knowledgeable and fun. All four of us - veterans of many tours, Viator and otherwise - thought he is one of the best guides we’ve ever had, regardless of type of tour. He was a careful leader (important when biking around DC), and while he kept us on schedule, he adjusted the schedule to accommodate our interests. And he truly knows so much about American history and the monuments themselves that our three hours flew by. Book with him!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

That was a fun evening biking around DC with you James and your awesome crew. Thank you for your incredibly flattering review. I'm delighted you had a great time and it is always my goal for my guests to feel safe and to enjoy diving in and doing things at their pace.

Must do Washington DC Adventure

Thanks Ryan! I really enjoyed showing you and your family around DC!

Have to admit, we were less than...

Christine W, Aug 2017
Have to admit, we were less than pleased when we had to pay to rent bikes an additional 117.00 after paying 300.00 for a bike tour. Especially after I called Viator and spoke with someone and they told me it would only be additional if I have more than 4 people. That said, We are very happy that we did this tour. It was really worth it. Love that is was just our family. Much easier to negotiate streets, etc, with a small, private group. The monuments were GORGEOUS at night and we felt like we saw everything we wanted to, with less crowds, at our pace. Charlie was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. It was a beautiful breezy evening incredible for AUGUST which made the evening so enjoyable. If you can swing it, I would definitely recommend this tour and this company.
