The Cherry blossoms and all the historical sites along the way. Beautifully done and extremely memorable. Everyone must do this bike tour.
fun even without the blossoms

We missed the cherry blossoms (we went on the last possible day), but the bike riding was great, as was our tour guide, Alex.
Great for a large family or group

We enjoyed the tour, the guide and all the history and facts she shared. We had a group of 8. Good for all activity levels. Not difficult and not strenuous. We’d do this again!
Ren is the best!

This was our family’s 1st time in DC and we were so happy we booked this tour! Ren, out awesome tour guide was so outgoing, energetic and knowledgeable. She was super helpful in getting us to where we need to go and we had a great 2 hour bike tour with lots of photo opps. Even though peak season for the cherry blossoms came early, REN scoped out some nice clusters of trees for us to enjoy. Would highly recommend Unlimited Biking crew and especially Ren. She gets 5 Cherry Blossoms in rating. Well done and Thank You, Ren!
Enjoy the view

Did this bike tour with my family. The tour company was very nice and accommodating. They have electric bikes if you call and make sure they are available. They made my 60 year old parent’s time more enjoyable. The route was flat around the tidal basin, so they probably would have been able to do the tour without the electric bikes, but they still enjoyed having them. We missed the peak of the cherry blossoms, but our tour guide said she would find us some trees, and she did. She told us some history as we rode through some of the monuments. Our tour guide was quite stern and “by the book”, but it honesty made for a great time. She kept us all safe and made sure our large group was on track and allowed us to see everything in a timely manner. We were not upset by not seeing the cherry blossoms in bloom, and neither should you - remember, nature is nature and unpredictable. That’s why it snows in May and is 70 in December. If you miss the blossoms, just enjoy the history and the ride
