Reviews

Great family ride.

Beth_S, 21-12-2022

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.

Best ever and Joe and David are outstanding and have a superb tour.

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.

Fall break trip

Really loved this bike tour! The tour guide was great and it was such a great way to see some the sites of Washington DC. It was nice they had bikes for kids as well.

Great tour to experience D.C. with kids!

Sarah_J, 13-10-2022

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!

Wonderful experience for family of 5!

Melissa_F, 11-10-2022

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.
