Customer service was amazing. They made the process so east and gave us great directions for our adventure.

Easy pick up from bike rental. Bikes and accessories in good condition. Whole day 9am- 8 pm pass was very good value.
Definitely the best way to get around to see all the national monuments.

Great fun. I just want to thank Kenny for giving us the bike with the trailer bike attachment for my son, who was a new bike rider. This worked out a lot better than having him ride on his own.

Capital bikeshare was excellent. Super helpful employees and very kind and efficient. Eric and their team set us on a great family memory.

I originally reserved 1 adult bike and 2 kids bikes online, however when we got there my youngest was too scared to ride the big kids bike. So we tried a tag-along and that didn’t work either. So finally we settled on the trailer and it was fantastic. The staff was great working with all the changes and even changed my oldest’s bell because it wasn’t loud enough. The bikes were fantastic and made it so that we were able to make it to a lot more place than we would have walking.

Nice way to visit different places in a same day and do exercise, easy to find the route and get faster.
BRENDA_C, Apr 2023
Freedom for our teenage boys. Covered much more area than anticipated. Would recommend for anyone, family or couple.
Chris_J, Mar 2023
Picking up the bikes, using them, and dropping them off was very easy and well worth the money. The only unfortunate thing was it was raining the day we used them! We loved the experience anyway. Such a great way to see all the monuments.
Marian_L, May 2022
Easy reservations and pickup but no local map and very limited advice for suitable paths. One of 2 bikes became nonfunctional (chain issue) and was replaced, but we had to walk it back.
AlisonCattelona, Apr 2022
Bikes were easy to handle and durable. Staff was friendly and helpful. I did see it listed somewhere that they’d deliver to hotel, which they don’t, but all in all a very enjoyable experience
Steven_J, Apr 2022
Bike ride was the way to go! Everyone was so helpful here and the bikes worked perfectly. It was easy and the only way to see all the sight in a few hours.
George_W, Apr 2022
This was so great. Our driver was very knowledgeable and drove safely. It was nice not to have to drive and worry about traffic.
Ronnie_W, Mar 2022
Was able to visit every monument at our own pace without the rush of a tour. Our family loved it. Great memories made

The bike rental went very smooth. There was a stand outside Union and the hand over of the bike happened in a few minutes. As such, I didn't lose any time and could enjoy the bike rental for pretty much the entire day. The people at the stand were very clear and answered all my questions without a problem.
I'm happy I rented the bike with them because it gave me the opportunity to discover most if not all of the D.C. landmarks in one day.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The bikes were in excellent condition and comfortable. My daughter and I saw so many more sites because of the bikes than we would have on foot. DC is very bike-friendly. Even with 90+ degree weather, we enjoyed our biking experience.

Excellent! Great service, awesome experience.
We were able to explore more in the city without the need of a cab or bus. And Washigton is a great place for biking.

Renting the bikes was a godsend to get around for the two days that we had them. Washington is great to get around on your bikes as you are allowed on the walkways with them. It was so hot that walking around would of been so slow and draining. The bikes allowed us to explore places that you would not walk to i.e Theodore Roosevelt Island, we biked over to Arlington aswell. The only hiccup I had was that I was refused to take the bikes at first, I had prebooked and paid for the hire of the bikes so I thought I would only need paperwork voucher to present when collecting them, you also need a credit card to hire the bikes for proof and for them incase you decide to steal the bikes! So I was sent back to my hotel to get my card to my frustration! Don't forget your credit card when collecting the bikes.

What a great way to see as much of the city in a short amount of time. I "think" I saw it all! My biggest mistake was not going for a ride along the waterfront. Now I know!
Joe A, Jun 2008
Very much enjoyed being able to rent the bicycles, but was not happy at all with the owners asking they be returned three hours earlier than the advertised closing time.
Laurelle G, Oct 2007
Perfect way to see almost all of the memorials with children. The ease of getting around was great. Only drawback was the lack of bike racks or knowledge of where bikes could be locked up while walking through and around the memorials.
Ulrike_F, May 2024
Wir hatten nur einen Tag in Washington um uns alle Sehenswürdigkeiten anzusehen. Das hat mit dem Fahrrad wunderbar funktioniert.
AnaBelen_R, Aug 2023
Nos hicimos nuestro propio tour en bici, estuvo genial porque hay muchos carriles bici y podiamos pasar por todos lados!! Recomendable

El pasado lunes 24 de Julio, mi mujer y yo hemos aquillado 2 bicicletas en Washington DC con la empresa Unlimited Biking Washington DC, a través de VIATOR.
Las bicicletas están en muy mal estado (rotas, les faltan piezas, partes que no funcionan), y solo disponen de algunas tallas. En mi opinión el mantenimiento de sus bicicletas es pésimo.
Además, el precio es desorbitado (40 dólares por 4 horas/persona) por la malísima calidad de las bicicletas.
Finalmente, al devolver las bicicletas por la tarde, hemos llegado con 10 minutos de retraso, y el responsable quería cobrarnos un suplemento de 40 dólares, aunque no quería enseñarnos el reglamento donde venía recogido ese aspecto del alquiler. Es decir, quería estafarnos y quedarse con un dinero extra.
Una vergüenza total. No lo recomiendo en absoluto a nadie. Es una estafa y el servicio malísimo. Hay otras empresas para alquilar, así que por favor no elijan Unlimited Biking Washington DC.

Georgetownまで足を伸ばし、ホワイトハウスから議事堂まで、街並みを堪能。電動スクーターもありますが、遠出、街乗りには自転車が断然有利。自転車がもう少しいいヤツなら良かったんですがね。

Wir hatten zu zweit für 2 Tage Räder gemietet. Das war eine gute Entscheidung, denn so haben wir viel von Washington und den ganzen Sehenswürdigkeiten mit bekommen. Zu Fuß wäre es bei dem heißen Wetter sicher sehr viel anstrengender gewesen. Das Personal bei der Radvermietungsstation war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Ganze lief total unkompliziert.

Nous avons loué 3 vélos pour visiter Washington le 8 août. Parfait, vélos en bonne état et carte très détaillées de la ville avec les circuits , d’après le maire de Washington plus de 180 kms de pistes cyclables . Le vélo reste le meilleur moyen, le plus pratique pour la visite de la ville ,car les distances sont assez importantes. On peut les déposer partout et la ville se prête à ce genre de mode de déplacement . Gérard août 2014
